YouTube Resume Position – Continue Watching

Resume YouTube videos where you left off. Automatically saves and restores your playback position.

Never lose your place in a YouTube video again. YouTube Resume Position automatically remembers exactly where you stopped watching a video and picks up right where you left off the next time you open it — no more scrubbing through the timeline trying to find your spot. Whether you're in the middle of a tutorial, a lecture, a long podcast episode, a video essay, or a multi-part course, this extension quietly tracks your progress so you can close the tab and pick up watching later without losing your place. FEATURES • Automatic save — your playback position is saved as you watch, when you pause, and when you leave the page • Automatic resume — reopen the same video and playback jumps straight to where you stopped, no prompts or clicks needed • Smart thresholds — videos you've essentially finished (last 15 seconds or last 5%) restart from the beginning instead of resuming near the end; YouTube Shorts and clips under a minute are never tracked, since they don't need it • Simple controls — a one-click toggle to pause the extension, plus a button to clear all saved video positions • Automatic cleanup — saved positions older than 90 days are deleted automatically, so nothing piles up WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who watches long-form YouTube content and hates losing their spot: students following video courses, developers watching coding tutorials, podcast and video-essay viewers, or anyone who habitually closes tabs mid-video and wants to continue watching later exactly where they left off — like a built-in video bookmark for YouTube.
