How to Loop a YouTube Video (2026 Complete Guide)

Looping a YouTube video is one of the most useful tricks for anyone who learns by repetition — musicians, language learners, dancers, and students all rely on it daily. In this guide, we cover three methods to loop YouTube videos, from the built-in option to the most powerful tool available: InfiniteLooper.

Method 1: YouTube's Built-in Loop (Right-Click)

YouTube has a native loop feature, but it's hidden. Here's how to find it:

1. Open any YouTube video in your browser.
2. Right-click directly on the video player (not on the controls bar).
3. A context menu appears — select "Loop".
4. The video will now repeat from the beginning every time it ends.

Limitation: This only loops the entire video. You cannot set a custom start or end point (A/B loop). If you want to repeat only a specific section, you need one of the methods below.

Method 2: The YouTube URL Trick

You can also enable looping by modifying the video URL in the address bar:

1. Open the YouTube video you want to loop.
2. In the URL, find youtube.com/watch and change it to youtu.be.
3. Add ?loop=1&playlist=VIDEO_ID to the end of the URL, replacing VIDEO_ID with the actual ID of the video.

Example: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?loop=1&playlist=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Limitation: This loops the whole video without A/B control, and it can be unreliable depending on your browser.

Method 3: InfiniteLooper — Full AB Loop Control (Best Method)

If you need to loop a specific section of a YouTube video — a guitar riff, a pronunciation exercise, a dance move — then InfiniteLooper is by far the best tool available. It's 100% free and works instantly in your browser.

1. Go to InfiniteLooper.tube.
2. Paste your YouTube video URL into the search bar.
3. Use the A slider to set where the loop starts, and the B slider to set where it ends.
4. Click Play — the video will loop infinitely between those two points.
5. Optionally, adjust the playback speed (from 0.25x to 2x) to slow down or speed up the section.
