How to Automatically Repeat (Loop) YouTube Videos
Written by Emilija Anchevska Streaming / YouTube
Have you recently discovered a song that is stuck in your head? Do you love it so much that you can listen to it over and over again?
One of the most popular media sharing networks in the world, YouTube, has an autoplay feature, so you can listen to your favorite songs without constantly clicking on repeat. Looping a video can be also useful when you are watching a tutorial on YouTube or if you just want a long ambient video to play in the background.
YouTube had only offered a loop button for its web version until recently when the company added autoplay support for iPhone and Android users.
This article will explain how to locate this function if you weren't aware of it before.
How to autoplay YouTube videos on a desktop?
- Log in to your YouTube account
- Choose the video you want to loop
- Right-click on the video and click on the loop option
That’s it. The selected video will start playing repeatedly until you change the song or turn off the feature.
To stop the video from repeating continuously, right-click on the video and click on the loop button.
How to autoplay YouTube videos via mobile app?
- Open the YouTube app and search for the video you want to play in a loop
- Click on the three dots in the top right corner
- From the drop-down menu choose loop
The video will play repeatedly until you turn off the feature.
Alternatively, if your YouTube version is old and the feature is not available, you can create a YouTube playlist and repeat your favorite single video several times.
