As a fellow believer in the power of repetition you're going to love this feature!

Here's how A-B Looping works in Video Controls Plus:

• Set Point A mark where the loop starts (keyboard shortcut or UI button)

• Set Point B mark where the loop ends

• Auto-replay the video continuously loops between A and B until you clear it

• Keyboard-driven set and clear loop points without touching the mouse

• Frame-level precision great for catching that one tricky riff or chord transition

For music study specifically, pair this with the speed control (0.1x 16x) slow down a difficult passage to 0.5x, loop it 10 times, then gradually bring the speed back up. It's like having a practice room inside your browser.

You just described the exact problem this feature was built to solve!

Yes the audio boost works independently of your system volume. Here's the breakdown:

• Goes beyond 100% amplifies audio past the normal browser/system cap

• Per-tab control boost volume on one video without blowing out your music in another tab

• Great for quiet lectures recorded Zoom sessions, old lecture uploads, low-mic podcast videos

• Adjustable levels you control how much boost, not just on/off

• Real-time processing no lag, no re-buffering, works instantly

It uses the Web Audio API under the hood, which means it's amplifying the audio signal directly in the browser completely independent of OS-level volume controls.

Shortcut conflicts are the worst we totally hear you on that. Here's the good news:

• Fully customizable keyboard shortcuts rebind any action to your preferred key combos

• Covers all major actions speed up/down, A-B loop set/clear, screenshot, filters, audio boost

• Conflict-friendly since you can remap everything, you can dodge conflicts with other extensions

• Instant response shortcuts trigger actions without any popup or menu interaction

• Persistent settings your shortcut configuration saves and stays across sessions

The keyboard shortcut system was designed to be highly customizable and lightweight because when you're in the middle of a 2-hour lecture at 2x speed, you don't want to break flow reaching for your mouse.

"A keyboard shortcut saved is a thought preserved."

Great question and the short answer is yes, it works across multiple video sites, not just YouTube!

Video Controls Plus is built as a universal HTML5 video controller, which means it hooks into the standard video element that most modern sites use. Here's what that means for you:

• YouTube full support including speed, loops, filters, screenshots

• Udemy, Coursera, Khan Academy works with their embedded HTML5 players

• Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch same consistent controls across all of them

• Any site using a standard HTML5 <video> element the extension detects and attaches automatically

The whole point was to solve exactly the frustration you described jumping between platforms and having to re-learn or lose your preferred controls each time.
