While watching YouTube videos, you might come across some scenes that are stupidly boring and you just want to skip ahead to get to the next interesting scene. Other than the mouse, you can also use the keyboard to quickly fast forward (or rewind) the YouTube video. Let’s see how it can be done:
Trick 1: Fast forward/Rewind the video
To fast forward the video, you just have to press the “right” arrow key on your keyboard. Similarly, press the “left” arrow button to rewind the video.
Trick 2: Skip to a particular section of the video
To skip to a particular section of the video, you can press “1, 2, 3…” or any number button to skip to 10%, 20%, 30%.. of the video. Press “0” to go back to the start.
