How do I loop a video on YouTube's website?

Right-click the video player on youtube.com and choose Loop from the menu. A tick appears next to Loop and the video restarts each time it ends. Right-click again and choose Loop to turn it off.

How do I loop a video in the YouTube app?

While the video plays, tap it, tap the gear icon, choose Additional settings and turn on Loop video. Menu names can change between app versions, and looping stops when the screen turns off unless you have YouTube Premium.

Why use a repeat website instead of YouTube's loop option?

YouTube's loop option only repeats the whole video. A repeat website like RepeatWatch can also loop one part, count your repeats and remember them.

  • Loop just the chorus, a solo or one sentence (an A–B loop)
  • Slow down or speed up from 0.25× to 2×
  • Pause between loops, stop after a set number, or use a sleep timer
  • Share a link that opens at the same section and speed

Is there a faster way to open a video on repeat?

Yes. In your browser's address bar, type repeatwatch.com/ in front of the YouTube link and press Enter. The video opens on RepeatWatch and starts repeating, with no copying and pasting.

Frequently asked questions

Does watching a YouTube video on repeat count as more views?

YouTube decides which plays count as views and doesn't publish the exact rules. RepeatWatch uses the official YouTube player, so plays go through YouTube as normal, but repeats aren't guaranteed to count as new views.

How many times can a video repeat?

As many times as you like. On RepeatWatch the loop runs until you pause it, or you can set it to stop after a number of loops or when a sleep timer runs out.

Can I repeat a YouTube playlist?

On YouTube, open the playlist panel and press its loop button to repeat the whole list. On RepeatWatch, add loops from different videos to the queue, and each one repeats a set number of times before the next starts.
