# YouTube video looper

Loop a YouTube video from start to finish, or mark a section from A to B and repeat just that bit, slowed down if you like. It plays in YouTube’s own player and downloads nothing.

To loop a YouTube video, paste its link in the box above and press **Load video**. With **Loop** on **Whole video** it starts again every time it ends. To repeat only part of it, choose **A–B section**, press **Set A** where the part begins and **Set B** where it ends, and the player jumps back to A each time it reaches B.

Under **Repeat**, keep **Forever** for a loop that runs until you stop it, or pick **Number of times** to play the section, say, ten times and then stop. **Speed** slows a passage down to 0.5× or 0.75× for practice. **Copy link** gives you an address that reopens the same video, section and speed, so you can send a loop to a student, a bandmate or yourself.

The video plays in YouTube’s own embedded player, loaded from youtube-nocookie.com only after you press Load video. The page tells that player when to jump back; nothing is downloaded, recorded or converted, and adverts, captions and quality settings stay exactly as YouTube serves them. For a clip that’s already on your device, [loop it into a new video file](https://loop.video/) instead.

## How to loop part of a YouTube video

1. ### Paste the link
Copy the video’s address from your browser, or use Share → Copy link in the YouTube app, paste it into the box and press **Load video**. Shorts links, youtu.be links and plain 11-character video IDs work too.
2. ### Choose what loops
Under **Loop**, leave **Whole video** to repeat it from start to finish, or choose **A–B section** (L) to repeat one part.
3. ### Mark A and B
Play to where the part begins and press **Set A** (A), then to where it ends and press **Set B** (B). Fine-tune either end with **−0.1 s** and **+0.1 s**, or type a time such as 1:23.4 into the box.
4. ### Pick how many times
Under **Repeat**, choose **Forever**, or **Number of times** and enter a count. The counter beside the clock shows which pass is playing, and playback stops after the last one.
5. ### Set the speed and share
Choose a **Speed** from 0.25× to 2×. Press **Copy link** to copy an address that opens this video with the same section and speed.

## Repeat a YouTube video, the whole thing or one part

### The whole video on repeat

With **Whole video** selected, the looper waits for the video to end and starts it again from the beginning. It suits music, a calming scene or a talk you want running in the background. With **Number of times** it plays the video that many times in a row and then stops, which is handy when you want a song three times through rather than all afternoon.

### One section, from A to B

An A–B repeat loops only the stretch between two points: a chorus, a guitar solo, a dance combination, a tricky sentence in a language lesson or a single play in a match. Press **Set A** and **Set B** while the video plays, or pause first and set them precisely. If you move A past the playhead, or B before it, the player jumps to A so you hear the new section straight away.

### Getting the points exactly right

* **−0.1 s** and **+0.1 s** move a point by a tenth of a second. With the page focused, \[ and \] do the same for A, and { and } for B.
* Click a time box and press the up or down arrow to move that point by 0.1 s, or hold Shift for a whole second. You can also type a time such as 2:05.5 and press Enter.
* Set B a fraction late rather than early. A loop that ends just after the last note feels natural; one that clips it sounds wrong on every pass.

## Slow it down and drill it

Repeating a short section at a slower speed is how many people learn a riff, a routine or a phrase. Choose **0.5×** or **0.75×** under **Speed**, loop the section until it feels comfortable, then step up to 1× (the < and > keys change the speed without reaching for the mouse). YouTube’s player keeps the pitch steady as it slows down in modern browsers, so music still sounds in tune.

* **Musicians:** loop four bars at 0.75× with **Forever**, and play along until you stop needing to look.
* **Dancers:** mark one eight-count, slow it to 0.5× and mirror it, then speed up.
* **Language learners:** loop a single sentence with **Number of times** set to 5 and repeat it aloud after each pass.
* **Coaches and teachers:** set up the clip, press **Copy link** and send it, so everyone opens the same moment at the same speed.

## Sharing a loop with a link

**Copy link** puts an address like loop.video/youtube-video-looper?v=…&start=…&end=… on your clipboard. It holds only the YouTube video ID, the A and B times (when you loop a section) and the speed (when it isn’t 1×). It doesn’t carry the repeat count, your history or anything else.

When someone opens the link, the video, section and speed are filled in, but YouTube’s player still loads only when they press **Load video**. Anyone who opens it can see which video it points to, so share it the way you would share the YouTube link itself.

## What this looper does, and what it doesn’t

It plays YouTube’s official embedded player through YouTube’s own IFrame Player API, the same kind of player you see on news sites and blogs, and asks it to play, pause, jump and change speed. The video streams from YouTube as it would on youtube.com.

* **Nothing is downloaded or saved.** There is no MP4 to keep and no conversion to audio. If you need a looping file, it has to be footage you have the rights to and already have on your device; the [main looper](https://loop.video/) handles that.
* **YouTube stays in charge of the video.** Adverts, captions, quality, age checks and the YouTube logo appear as YouTube decides. The page does not block or skip anything.
* **Some videos only play on YouTube.** Owners can turn off playback on other websites, and private, removed and some age-restricted videos can’t be embedded. The looper says so when this happens; open the video on YouTube and use its own Loop setting instead.
* **Keep the tab visible for exact A–B loops.** Browsers slow down timers in background tabs to save battery, so the jump from B back to A can arrive late while you look at another tab. Whole-video loops are unaffected.
* **YouTube may set cookies.** The player comes from youtube-nocookie.com, but once it loads, YouTube can still store data and collect information under its own policies. The [privacy policy](https://loop.video/privacy) has the details.

## Or use YouTube’s own Loop setting

If you only need the whole video to repeat while you watch on YouTube, its own setting is enough. On a computer, right-click the player and choose **Loop**. In the YouTube app, tap the Settings gear, then **Additional settings**, then **Loop video**. YouTube has no built-in A–B repeat, a repeat count or a shareable section, which is where this page helps.

## YouTube looper: common questions

### How do I put part of a YouTube video on repeat?

Paste the link, press **Load video** and choose **A–B section**. Press **Set A** at the start of the part and **Set B** at the end. The player jumps back to A each time it reaches B, forever or for the **Number of times** you choose.

### Does this download the YouTube video?

No. The video plays in YouTube’s own embedded player and streams from YouTube as usual. The page only tells the player when to pause, jump back and change speed. Nothing is saved on your device or on our side.

### Why does it say the video can’t play here?

The video’s owner has turned off playback on other websites, or the video is private, removed or age-restricted. Those videos only play on YouTube, where you can use its built-in Loop for the whole video.

### Does the YouTube looper work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in the phone’s web browser. In the YouTube app, tap Share → Copy link, then paste the link here. If the video doesn’t start by itself after **Load video**, tap play on the video once. Keyboard shortcuts are for computers.

### Can I loop a YouTube Short?

Yes. Paste the Shorts link (youtube.com/shorts/…) and it loads like any other video, with the same A–B section, repeat and speed controls.

### How accurate is the A–B repeat?

The looper checks the time about 30 times a second, so it jumps back within roughly a tenth of a second of B. YouTube’s player may pause for a moment to buffer after the jump, especially on a slow connection.

### Can I share my loop with someone?

Yes. Press **Copy link** and send the address. It opens this page with the same video, A and B times and speed; the other person presses **Load video** to start.

### Do adverts still play?

They can. YouTube decides whether an embedded video shows adverts, and this page doesn’t block or skip them.
