About this extension

Global keyboard shortcuts for HTML5 video playback (play/pause, skip, speed) on YouTube, Vimeo, Udemy, and Coursera.

Read the publisher’s full description

Global keyboard shortcuts for HTML5 video playback (play/pause, skip, speed) on YouTube, Vimeo, Udemy, and Coursera. PlaybackKeys gives you four global keyboard shortcuts for browser video. Pause, skip, and change speed without switching tabs or leaving your editor — even while Chrome is minimized or another app has focus. WHO IT'S FOR Developers watching tutorials while coding. Students taking notes during lectures. Anyone who keeps a video tab open on a second monitor and is tired of clicking back to it every time something needs pausing. WHERE IT WORKS Built-in support for YouTube, Vimeo, Udemy, and Coursera. To enable on any other site with HTML5 video: open the site, click the toolbar icon, hit "Enable on this site". Power users can opt into a single bulk "Run on all sites" toggle in Settings — both off by default. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No ad skipping No DRM bypass (no Netflix, Disney+, Prime, HBO support) No modification of YouTube's player UI, recommendations, or end screens No video downloading No data collection, no telemetry, no network requests, no analytics PRIVACY PlaybackKeys collects nothing. All settings stay on your device in chrome.storage. Open source, MIT licensed.

works on youtube for audiobooks if you want to read along, making your life easier or on other websites as well.

Third Person·27 Oct 2026

After trying a bunch of options, I finally found one that actually works the way I want. PlaybackKeys lets me control YouTube and Udemy videos with global keyboard shortcuts, and honestly, it’s such a relief. No more constantly switching tabs just to pause or tweak the playback speed while I’m trying to get work done. This little extension totally fixes that headache. I also love that it’s open-source, crazy lightweight, and works smoothly across different sites without any fuss. If you’re someone who likes to have videos playing in the background while you multitask, this one’s a no-brainer.
