Instagram Video Controls

Adds a playback/seek bar and keyboard controls to Instagram Reels and videos so you can scrub, fast-forward, and jump anywhere.

Ever tried to rewatch a moment in a Reel, skip a slow intro, or jump to the end — and realized there's no way to do it? Instagram's web player gives you no scrubber and no way to seek. This extension fixes that. Hover over any Reel or video and a clean playback bar appears at the bottom, letting you: • Scrub anywhere — click or drag the seek bar to jump to any point in the video • Fast-forward and rewind — stop rewatching from the start just to reach the part you want • See the timeline — a live current time / total duration readout • Play and pause — a simple button right on the bar Keyboard shortcuts (act on the video you're watching): • Space — play / pause • ← / → — jump back / forward 5 seconds • ↑ / ↓ — volume up / down • 0–9 — jump to 0%–90% of the video • M — mute / unmute
