About Video Actions — Screenshot, Speed & Audio
Video Actions — Screenshot, Speed & Audio gives you fast, lightweight control over any video on the web. It works with YouTube, Vimeo and any normal HTML5 video, in small players, large players and fullscreen.
Use it from a floating action bar on the video, from the toolbar popup, from the right-click menu, or with keyboard shortcuts.
📸 HD SCREENSHOT
- Capture the current frame at the video's full native resolution (PNG, JPG or WebP).
- Optional: automatically copy every screenshot to your clipboard as well as downloading it.
- Preview card after capture, with Copy and Save again.
- Customizable filename template ({title}, {timestamp}, {date}).
🔊 AUDIO ON / OFF
- Some videos autoplay muted. One click enables the sound, and the button shows muted or unmuted state live.
🎧 AUDIO ONLY MODE
- Hides the video while the audio keeps playing, with a small "Audio Only" indicator you can turn off at any time.
- Note: Audio Only hides the picture but does not reduce data usage — the website's player keeps streaming the video.
⏩ SPEED
- 0.25x to 4x, with an optional default speed.
- Remembers your speed per website.
- Ctrl + scroll over the video to change speed.
🔉 VOLUME
- Native volume slider plus volume boost up to 400%.
- Shift + scroll over the video to change the boost.
⏪ SKIP
- Skip back or forward with configurable short and long steps (default 5 s and 10 s).
🖼 PICTURE-IN-PICTURE
- One-click PiP, with better switching between videos.
🔁 A/B LOOP
- Set a start and end point and loop that section. It uses no polling, so it stays light.
↺ RESET VIDEO
- Resets only the current video: speed 1x, volume 100%, boost 100%, unmuted, Audio Only off, loop cleared.
- Completely separate from "Reset extension settings" in Settings.
🙈 HIDE / SHOW THE ACTION BAR AND CONTROLS
- Hide the Action Bar for one video without losing it — the bar is hidden, not removed, so showing it again is instant.
- "Hide Controls" hides all Video Actions UI for that video.
- Show them again from the popup, from Settings, or with a shortcut.
📋 EVERY VIDEO ON THE PAGE
- The popup lists all detected videos (including videos inside embedded frames). Pick one to see its state and apply actions to that specific video.
📐 RESPONSIVE ACTION BAR
- The bar adapts to the size of the player, not the browser window. Small players show only the essentials and put the rest in a "More" menu. Buttons stay a usable size, and the bar scrolls horizontally if space runs out.
- Draggable; the position is remembered per website. Optional auto-hide when the pointer is idle.
⚙️ FULLY CONFIGURABLE
- Turn any action on or off, and choose which actions appear in the popup.
- Toast notifications, theme (auto/dark/light), shortcuts, defaults, and a choice to keep settings session-only.
⌨️ DEFAULT SHORTCUTS (all remappable)

- No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads.
- Screenshots and settings stay on your device. Settings are stored in Chrome's own sync storage tied to your browser profile.
KNOWN LIMITS
- Screenshots of DRM-protected video are blocked by the browser.
- Volume boost is unavailable on some cross-origin or DRM-protected videos.
- Picture-in-Picture started from the popup may need a click on the page (the on-video button and shortcut always work).
