How to Keep YouTube Videos Playing Over and Over?

To keep a YouTube video playing repeatedly, you can use the built-in looping feature available on both the desktop website and the mobile app.

Easy Ways to Loop YouTube Videos

Looping a YouTube video means setting it to automatically restart once it finishes, allowing it to play over and over without manual intervention. This is useful for listening to music, tutorials, or any content you want to enjoy repeatedly.

On the YouTube Website (Desktop/Browser)

Looping is very straightforward on the YouTube website when viewed in a browser on a computer or laptop.

Based on the provided reference: "Right click on the video. Itself then click loop".

Here are the simple steps:

1. Navigate to the YouTube video you want to loop.
2. Right-click anywhere within the video player area.
3. A context menu will appear.
4. Click on the "Loop" option from the menu.

Once selected, the video will automatically restart from the beginning each time it reaches the end. To disable the loop, simply right-click the video again and uncheck the "Loop" option.

On the YouTube Mobile App

Looping a single video directly on the YouTube mobile app was historically "a little more complex," as mentioned in the reference. While the app interface evolves, the common method involves using playlists.

Here's how to loop a video using a playlist on the mobile app:

1. Open the YouTube app and go to the video you want to loop.
2. Tap the Save button below the video.
3. Select an existing playlist or tap Create new playlist to make a dedicated one (e.g., "Looping Video").
4. Add the video to the chosen playlist.
5. Navigate to your Library tab.
6. Find and tap the playlist containing just this one video.
7. Tap the Play button to start the playlist.
8. Once the video starts playing, tap the Loop icon (often two arrows forming a circle) at the top of the playlist playback controls (it might be next to the play/pause or shuffle buttons).

By looping the playlist containing only one video, the video itself will play repeatedly.
