YouTube is a great platform for sharing videos with friends and family. However, there are times when you want to watch a video but don’t have time to wait for it to load. Sometimes, you can double-tap the screen to skip the video and get right to the next one. But what if YouTube doesn’t let you do that? There are a few ways to workaround this issue on YouTube. One way is to use an app like AirPlay or Chromecast. Another way is to use a VPN or proxy service. But what if all of those methods don’t work? What if YouTube won’t let you skip a video even though it’s in your history? That’s where Double-Tap Skip Time comes in. Double-Tap Skip Time helps you skip videos by automatically skipping them when they’re loaded in your history. So no more waiting around for videos to load!
If you’re not familiar with the gesture, it’s a big time saver. Simply double-tap the left or right side of the video, and you will skip ahead or back 10-seconds. This is much easier than trying to use the seek bar.
What if 10 seconds isn’t enough for you? Maybe it’s a little too much? We can fix that. First, open the YouTube app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
Select “Settings” from the menu.
Go to the “General” section.
On Android, look for “Double-Tap to Seek.” On the iPhone and iPad, it’s called “Skip Forward and Back.”
Now choose one of the time increments from the menu.
That’s all there is to it! This little customization option takes an already very handy feature and allows you to make it even better.
By the way, you can also skip chapters with a different type of double tap. YouTube has other great gestures, too.
