About Volume Scroll and Auto HD for YouTube
Volume Scroll and Auto HD adds two things YouTube is missing: volume control with your mouse wheel, and a default video quality that sticks.
VOLUME WITH YOUR MOUSE WHEEL
• Hover over a video and scroll up or down to change the volume
• Choose the step size, from 1% to 20% per scroll
• Fine 1% steps below 10% for precise control at low volume
• Optional activation key: scroll always, only while holding Shift, or only while holding the right mouse button
• Volume boost up to 150%, 200% or 300% for videos that are too quiet. Levels above 100% are shown in red
• A small, unobtrusive indicator shows the current level at the top or center of the player, or not at all
• Middle click on the video to mute or unmute
• Your volume is kept after reloading the page
AUTO QUALITY
• Choose your preferred quality: 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K or the highest available
• If a video doesn't offer your choice, the next lower quality is used
• Applies to every video automatically, including autoplay and playlists, and waits until ads have finished
WORKS EVERYWHERE YOU WATCH
• Regular videos, theater mode, fullscreen and the miniplayer
• Shorts: scroll over the video to change the volume, scroll beside it to move to the next Short
• YouTube Music and embedded YouTube players on other websites, each with its own on/off switch
