2) Play Higher quality videos
If you constantly need to change video quality to higher level, there’s an easy way to do that. Just go to youtube.com/account_playback and change the default setting to always view the best quality for your connection. On the other hand, you can also set YouTube to never play higher-quality videos.
3) Repeat the video
You can repeat all or parts of a video easily and enjoy listening to your favorite track over again and again. All you need to do is to add the word “repeater” after “YouTube” in the URL. YouTubeRepeater.com allows you to easily set any YouTube video on a constant loop.
For example, the URL of a video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJahYCMs0kE and, you need to do is https://www.youtuberepeater.com/watch?v=IJahYCMs0kE
4) Enable autoplay in embedded video
You can take your player to autoplay mode of your embedded video, by adding “&autoplay=1” to the url part of the embed code. Now, your video will play automatically and there’s no waiting to hit the play button.
5) Start from a specific time
If you want the video to get started from a specific time, you can modify the end variable that add “#t=K”, K is the number of seconds from which you want the player to start at.
For example: URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJahYCMs0kE and, you want the video to start after 15 seconds, then URL will be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJahYCMs0kE#t=15
6) Hide search box in embedded video
