Smart Video Controls: Shortcuts for Any Video

Works where others don't — Netflix, Prime, and embedded players. Keyboard shortcuts and auto-resume for any HTML5 video.

Pick up where you left off — automatically. Smart Video Controls remembers your exact spot in every video and resumes it the next time you open the page. No accounts, no setup. Skip intros instantly. Fly past recaps. Nudge the volume or speed without ever reaching for the mouse — full keyboard control on the players other extensions can't touch, including cross-origin embedded iframes. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Works where others don't — reaches inside embedded video players (cross-origin iframes) that block normal extensions. • Remembers your place automatically — resume from the exact second, per page. • Zero setup — install it and every HTML5 video just works. • Your shortcuts, your way — every key is rebindable. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Play / pause without hunting for the button — Space • Skip intros and recaps instantly — ← / → (10s), Option/Alt + ← / → (30s) • Find the perfect pace — > speeds up, < slows down (0.25×–4×) • Set the volume from the keyboard — ↑ / ↓ • Resume automatically — close the tab, come back, keep watching PRO (optional, one-time £3) • Sync your saved positions across every device and browser profile. • Everything above stays free, forever — Pro only adds cross-device sync. A NOTE ON YOUTUBE YouTube already ships its own keyboard shortcuts, so Smart Video Controls stays out of its way and leaves the native player untouched. It shines on the sites that don't — streaming services, anime sites, and pages with embedded players. Private by design: positions are stored locally on your device. Nothing about what you watch is collected or sold.
