Use global keyboard shortcut to control Udemy video playback on separate monitor/tab.
The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Udemy Playback Control
A Chrome extension designed for Udemy learners. It enables global keyboard shortcuts for playback, this is especially handy when you're following instructions (like coding in an editor) and Udemy is playing on a separate monitor or split screen. Without this extension, you'd have to switch to the Udemy tab or monitor to control playback. It is very useful in case you find yourself constantly pausing/playing, or rewinding videos.
*NOTE: It will only work if one tab of Udemy is opened. Close multiple tabs and Reload the video page if it's not working*
