YouTube Resume

Automatically resume YouTube videos exactly where you left off.

YouTube Resume picks up exactly where you stopped — without you having to do anything. Every time you watch a YouTube video, the extension quietly saves your position. Close the tab, restart your browser, or lose power mid-lecture — when you come back, the video resumes automatically from where you left off. No setup. No account. No interaction required. —————————————————————————— HOW IT WORKS Open a YouTube video you've watched before. That's it. The extension detects your saved position and resumes playback automatically, within a second of the video loading. A small "↺ Restart" button appears briefly in the player controls if you want to start from the beginning instead. It disappears on its own after a few seconds. —————————————————————————— WHY THIS EXISTS YouTube's built-in resume feature is tied to your Google account and only works when watch history syncs correctly. It regularly fails during: · Browser crashes · Computer restarts · Accidental tab closes · Logged-out sessions · Long-form content like podcasts, lectures, and tutorials YouTube Resume works independently of your account. It's reliable by design. —————————————————————————— BUILT FOR LONG-FORM CONTENT If you watch YouTube like a podcast app — lectures, documentaries, conference talks, tutorials, essays — this extension was made for you. Losing your place in a 90-minute video is a meaningfully frustrating experience. This fixes it permanently. —————————————————————————— PRIVACY — YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE YouTube Resume stores your video positions locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to a server. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no data collection of any kind. Permissions requested: · storage — to save your playback positions locally · youtube.com access — to interact with the YouTube video player That's it. No access to your browsing history, no other tabs, no Google account.
