How to loop a video or section in Chrome

Updated May 4, 20263 min read

Whether you are learning a dance move, memorizing a speech, or studying a guitar riff, looping a precise section of a video by hand is painful. A loop extension solves it in one click.

  1. 1
    Step 1

    Toggle full-video loop with a single key

    Glitch's loop key enables continuous repeat so the video restarts automatically at the end. No mouse needed — just press and forget.

    Step 2

    Set an AB loop for a precise segment

    Tap A to mark the start point, tap B to mark the end. The video will loop that exact range until you clear it. AB loop works on YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, and any other supported site (Pro).

    Step 3

    Combine loop with slow speed for detailed study

    Watching a technique at 0.5× on loop lets you catch every detail. Slow speed is free; extended slow motion down to 0.25× is Pro.

    Use frame-by-frame inside the loop

    While the loop is running, you can step one frame at a time to inspect a specific moment. Glitch's frame keys work inside any loop.

    Step 5

    Use Repeat N times instead of infinite loop

    If you want to watch something exactly five times, Glitch's Repeat N feature plays it that many times and stops automatically.

    Clear the loop without touching the mouse

    A keyboard shortcut clears both AB markers and the loop toggle at once so you can return to normal playback without reaching for the mouse.
