How to Loop a YouTube Video
Three ways to repeat YouTube videos on desktop and mobile.
Paste a YouTube URL to start looping:
1. YouTube's Built-in Loop (Desktop Only)
The simplest method, but limited. Only works on desktop and loops the entire video.
- Open the video on youtube.com
- Right-click on the video player
- Select "Loop" from the menu
Limitation: You can't loop a specific section, and this doesn't work on mobile.
2. Use LoopMyVid for Section Looping
Loop any part of a video with precise A-B repeat. Works on desktop and mobile.
- Go to loopmyvid.com
- Paste the YouTube URL
- Click "Custom Loop" below the video
- Drag the markers to set your loop start and end
Tip: Press [ to set start and ] to set end.
3. URL Trick
Quick method: change the URL directly in your browser.
Change:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
To:
https://loopmyvid.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
