About YT Remote

Take control of your YouTube tabs from anywhere in your browser! YT Remote lets you play, pause, seek and skip video ads without switching tabs, and shows every YouTube tab you have open so you can jump straight to the one that is playing. Key Features (free): Remote Control 🎛️: Play, pause, seek, mute and change volume on the YouTube tab that is playing, from any other tab. Tab List 📑: See every open YouTube tab with its title and thumbnail. Pick one and control it. Tabs that Chrome has put to sleep are marked so you know which ones will not respond. Ad Skipping ⏩: Skip video ads and get your volume and speed back exactly as they were. Suggested Videos 📺: Browse the next suggestions for the current video and open one without leaving your tab. Simple Keyboard Shortcuts ⌨️: [SPACE BAR] – Play / Pause ▶️⏸️ [CTRL + Arrow Left] – Previous Track ⏪ [CTRL + Arrow Right] – Next Track ⏩ YT Remote Pro (optional, one licence for all your devices): Floating Mini Player 🪟: A small draggable player that sits on top of whatever site you are on. Collapse it to a bar, expand it to a card with artwork and a scrubber, or shrink it to a bubble. Drag it anywhere. Picture in Picture 📌: Pop the video into a native Chrome window that stays on top of every app, not just the browser. Audio Booster 🔊: Push the volume up to 250% for quiet videos. Engages only above 100%, so normal volume is untouched. Sleep Timer ⏰: 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Fades the audio out over 30 seconds, then pauses. Pro is optional and pricing is shown in the extension. Pay there, paste the licence key into Settings, done. No account, no sign-in. Your key works on up to 5 devices. About permissions: YT Remote only needs access to youtube.com. If you turn on the floating mini player, Chrome will ask for permission to run on other sites. That permission is optional, is only requested when you switch the mini player on, and is used only to draw the player. You can revoke it at any time from Settings. Privacy: No account, no tracking, no analytics. The only thing YT Remote ever sends anywhere is your Pro licence key, to check that it is valid. Nothing about what you watch leaves your browser. Experience a smarter way to interact with your YouTube content while you browse! 🎉
