Posted April 11, 2021 How do you pause a video on YouTube? I'm actually curious because there are SO many people who use a different key, other than spacebar.

Posted April 11, 2021 I saw this title in the feed, and I expected a genuine question on how to pause the video. I don't know what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 11, 2021 I have a button I mapped on my mouse to pause/play videos and music. It's extremely convenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 11, 2021 Started left clicking because my computer sometimes changes focus from the video player and spacebar, nor any other button, doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 11, 2021 I do a lot of multitasking so it depends on the situation but generally I either use spacebar or left click. I use K when scrubbing through a video with J or L.

Posted April 11, 2021 On my Corsair keyboard the dedicated play/pause button can be used, but usually just space bar or left click.

Posted April 11, 2021 Depends on the situation, if hand is on mouse then left click, otherwise usually spacebar if I know it's in focus. If watching on tv then the pause button on my remote.

Posted April 11, 2021 I click, but I don't ever actually click the pause button, I just click inside the video player ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ pythonmegapixel into tech, public transport and architecture // amateur programmer // youtuber // beginner photographer Thanks for reading all this by the way! By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

Posted April 11, 2021 I either use the spacebar or just left-click with the mouse somewhere in the video player. Depends which is easier, for example if my hand is on the mouse I use it, if I'm far from the mouse spacebar is easier to hit. 4 hours ago, Cyberspirit said: I use K when scrubbing through a video with J or L. 28 minutes ago, akio123008 said: Wow I actually expected so much more "K".

Just checked - when I'm using English the ,< and >. keys are like you said (thanks for the info). When typing in Bulgarian the keys that are , and . in that layout work. In my case that is the Q key for , and the =+ key for . . I don't think the < and > even exist in the Bulgarian layout. I'm using the standart 'BDS' (БДС), the 'Phonetic' layout is different and I do not use it, so cannot comment for it.
