Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Navigate YouTube chapters and Shorts whilst not in focus of Chrome with Better Media Keys for YouTube (Including embedded video support). For videos without chapters; use your media keys to restart the currently playing video or skip to the video that's up next. Finally, the current chapter title will be used instead of the video title on the mini player by default. This is great for single video music playlists, to see what the current song title is instead of the playlist video title.

Better Media Keys is highly customizable with a pop up settings page accessible by clicking on the extension icon. Don't like how the extension functions? Change it to your own preferences.

Note: You will need the keys 'MediaTrackPrevious' and 'MediaTrackNext' available on your keyboard for most of the functionality.

This extension also doesn't change the way that playlists work on YouTube, you won't lose any functionality that you had before installing.

Works great, but it would be lovely if this extension also allowed for skipping forward and back with the keyboard media keys by 10 seconds even in chaptered videos. Currently, skipping forwards and back with keyboard media keys takes us to the next/previous chapter in a chaptered video, and there is no way to opt out of it.

It's so much nicer to be able to go use my computer for other tasks and not have to come back to the tab playing media to change the song. Thanks!
