With tons of new content uploaded to YouTube every day, viewers don’t miss out on anything new to watch. But sometimes you don’t want something new, so setting a video to loop over and over again can be a good option.
Playing a video can be helpful if you’re learning a new skill from a YouTube . tutorial, or if you simply want an ambient video to play continuously in the background in an event.
Here’s how to set up the feature on desktop or via the mobile app.
How to play a YouTube video on desktop
This works regardless of the web browser you are using.
1. On the YouTube website, go to the video you want to repeat.
2. Right- click on the video and select Loop in the pop-up window.
Playing a YouTube video on the mobile app
YouTube recently added the loop playback feature to the mobile app. It works for iPhone, iPad and Android.
1. Open the YouTube app on your device and navigate to the video you want to loop.
2. Touch the screen to reveal the three-dot icon in the upper right corner, then touch the three dots to open the video menu.
3. In the pop-up window, select Loop Video. Note that the loop option does not appear in the popup if the ad before your video is still playing; you must wait for the ad to finish before you can play it.
To disable the looping feature, you must repeat this process. You can also loop playlists by going to a video in the playlist you want to play and setting that video to play.
Quick Tip: You can also use a third parties like Looptube or Listenonrepeat to play full YouTube videos or just parts of the video, as if you were watching a tutorial and wanted to focus on a specific step.
