As SQL Server related as YouTube is…so depends on what you watch I guess
By the time this goes to post 24 Hours of PASS will have just finished (it was great!) and PASS ( twitter | blog ) will be busy converting all the recording of the sessions and putting them up so we can watch them again.
This made me realize how much resources are available up on YouTube (I use it a lot for learning but there is a difference between doing and realizing). Not just with 24 Hours of PASS but with the Local Groups, Virtual Groups, and even some individuals have started to use it as well (Robert Cain, Bert Wagner, Rob Sewell, etc.)
Here are a few of the YouTube shortcuts that I use while watching these videos:
Press a number to go to that percentage of the video…
1 = 10%,
2 = 20%,
3 = 30%,
etc.
Funnily enough, I found this by pressing the keys at the top of my keyboard, sequentially going up and getting to the end of the video. Pressing 8 brought me to 80%, 9 brought me to 90% and 0, thinking it would end the video, brought me back to the start again!
So 0 = 0%!
“Home” and “End” go to the start and end of the video respectively.
Pause the video…
“K” or “Spacebar”.
Say that you want more control though, and don’t want to go to a certain percentage of the video, but just skip a few sections…
Forwards and backwards….
“Left arrow” = Back 5 seconds,
“J” = Back 10 seconds…
“Right arrow” = Forward 5 seconds…
“L” = Forward 10 seconds.
Video too loud for you?
Volume Control…
“Up arrow” = Increase volume,
“Down arrow” = Decrease volume.
Not enough time in the day?
Speed up the playback
“Shift” + “.”
Then when you’ve encountered it at full speed and if you’re like me, your Imposter-Syndrome kicks in and you start freaking out at how eloquently the presenters are speaking and how fluidly they can type, let’s slow it back down again.
Slow down the playback
“Shift” + “,”
Having trouble hearing?
Turn on Subtitles/Closed Captions
“C”
Subtitles too small? You can adjust them.
“+” = Increase the subtitles font
“-” = Decrease the subtitle font
That’s it! Check these out an up your YouTube watching game.
