About GesturePlay
Control video playback without touching your mouse or keyboard — just your hand and your webcam.
GESTURES
• Pinch (thumb + index, with your other three fingers raised) and move your hand left/right to scrub the video timeline — the site's own progress bar follows live.
• Hold a fist (~half a second) to toggle play / pause.
• Open your palm or drop your hand to do nothing — it's the resting pose.
WORKS GREAT
• On youtube.com and bilibili.com video pages.
• While playing, while paused, and in fullscreen.
• Fine scrubbing by default: one full hand sweep = 1 minute (configurable: 30 s to 5 min, or the whole video).
TUNABLE
Click the toolbar icon for live-updating settings: master on/off switch, scrub range, start deadzone, fist hold time, fingers required, pinch sensitivity, English/中文 interface, and an optional camera preview with a hand-skeleton overlay for tuning.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
All hand tracking runs locally in your browser using Google's MediaPipe model, which is bundled inside the extension. No video frame ever leaves your machine. The extension makes zero network requests: no analytics, no accounts, no servers. Privacy policy: https://gist.github.com/Jimmyyu725/fe4814ae94497ef7e915172bffae7450
REQUIREMENTS
A webcam (built-in or USB) and reasonable lighting. Camera permission is requested once on first use.
