Amazing YouTube Hacks That’ll Make Your Video Watching Experience Easier

#1 To download a YouTube audio

How many times do you have to jostle between websites/freeware that allow you to download the audio of the video you're watching? Well, not anymore.

Simply replace "youtube" with "listentoyoutube" in the URL to download the audio!

#2 Download YouTube videos

You want to pick out a few videos for your big classroom presentation, but because there's paucity of time, you find it irritating to go through a million "video downloader" sites. So what do you do?

You simply put "ssyoutube" in place of "youtube" in the URL and download the video in any quality available.

#3 Bypass the age restriction

What about all those raunchy videos that require an age restriction?

Simply replace "youtube" with "nsfwyoutube" to bypass it.

#4 To block YouTube advertisements

Ads are irksome, aren't they?

Well, not anymore! Typing "youtubeskip" instead of "youtube" in the URL can help you get around it.

#5 To play the video on loop!

Replacing "youtube" with "listenonrepeat" in the URL and the video would loop without your intervention.

#6 Defeat country restrictions

There are some videos that are specific to one/more countries and are out of bounds for you, so how do you access them?

Here's how a normal YouTube link looks like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx

Copy the "xxxx" string of characters and paste it so that the URL reads:

http://www.youtube.com//v/xxxx

#7 To line-up all the videos from a specific YouTube channel

Add "&list=UL" to any video and it will spawn a meta playlist containing all the video uploads by the uploader, in chronological order.

#8 To turn the video into a GIF

Make a gif out of the YouTube video by replacing "youtube" with "gifyoutube".
