Repeat YouTube Videos Automatically With Auto Replay For Chrome

I sometimes like to view or listen to YouTube videos multiple times. To bad that there is not an option to repeat YouTube videos automatically. Sure, you can click the Replay link once the video has stopped playing, or refresh the page on YouTube to start from the beginning; But that’s not automatic. It is not comfortable having to manually interact with the page to play videos on YouTube multiple times.

The solution: Extensions like Auto Replay for YouTube for the Chrome web browser of course. You can use the extension to repeat YouTube videos indefinitely for as long as you like.

The Chrome extension adds an Auto Repeat checkbox to every YouTube video page. If you check that box you can watch the video in a never ending loop. That is, until you exit the page or remove the checkmark again.

A small plus icon is displayed next to the auto replay box. You can use it to expand additional options on the page of the YouTube video. It is then possible to select different start and end seconds for that video. That’s helpful if you like to repeat only part of the video instead of all of it.

You can use the feature by entering minutes and seconds individually for the start and end replay time. If you select a box and press shift-enter you add the current time to it.

The extension supports hashes which you can add at the end of the YouTube video url.

• start=0:10 – Sets the replay start time of the video
• end=1:20 – Sets the replay end time
• autoreplay=true Configures auto replay, if you select =false you disable that the video is repeated.
• showoptions=true – Shows the options on screen

Chrome users can download Auto Replay for YouTube directly from the official Google Chrome Extensions Gallery.

None Chrome users should take a look at the How To Loop Youtube Videos userscript instead.
