Life Hack: How to make YouTube videos play on repeat.

Katie's tip of the week!

So, when I have a favourite song I tend to want to listen to it over and over again- This generally results in me hating it in a few days but let's not go there!! If, like me, you listen to your music via YouTube then it can be very annoying having to click replay all the time. Here's a simple hack to allow you to listen to your song on repeat:

First, take the url of the video you want to watch, for example:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JU0g0TW9vM0

Now, remove the "watch?" part: http://youtube.com/v=JU0g0TW9vM0

Next, change the "=" sign to a forward slash (/):  http://youtube.com/v/JU0g0TW9vM0

The final step is to add "&loop=1" to the end of the url: http://youtube.com/v/JU0g0TW9vM0&loop=1

And that's it! The song will now play full screen and on repeat! Unfortunately, what his does is put it in a playlist with just one song- And a lot of artists don't allow you to play their songs on playlists. So silly, but it happens. So you may find this doesn't work on a lot of new music. I had to search around quite a bit to find a song it would work with. But hey- Better than nothing!!
