If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to skip through YouTube videos, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the number keys. The number keys are a great way to quickly jump to a particular video without having to search through all the videos. They work just like the play button on your TV, and they work in both online and offline videos. To use the number keys, just press one of the numbers at the top of each video. For example, if you want to watch video 1, press 1. If you want to watch video 2, press 2. And so on. The number keys are great for finding specific videos that you need quickly or for finding specific minutes in a video. They also work great when you’re trying to find a specific clip or scene in a video. If you’re looking for an easy way to skip through YouTube videos with the number keys, these are some great tips:


When you’re playing a YouTube video, it can be very annoying waiting for it to load so you can get to the point you want.

Use Number Keyboard Shortcuts

For this trick to work, you need to click on the Play button first, and make sure the progress bar is showing,then hit any number key on the top row to skip through the video (the number pad didn’t seem to work). It will move forward or back based on increments of 10%. For instance, here we hit “5” to get 50% through the video.

To get back to the beginning of the video just hit zero.

Or hit the 9 key to skip 90% into the video near the end.

Unfortunately one caveat is you can’t skip through the commercials. Also, you’ll want to make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed.

This is a cool trick that allows you to skip to different sections of a video on YouTube just like you would with a DVR or Tivo. It should work on any video on the YouTube site, and in any of the major browsers…Awesome!
