Youtube is by far the most popular video social media and one of the best search engines on the internet. You can find music videos, music festivals, award show performances, podcasts, and even live TV news on Youtube. Coming with that much content and a massive audience are a lot of different user needs. And we can all agree that one of the most needed features that we all wish it had is the ability to Loop a section of a YouTube video, or in other words, to do an A-B repeat.

What Youtube is offering

Of course, there are ways to jump to a section or loop a video on Youtube. There are ways to get to a certain section of a Youtube video if you know its timestamp. Good content creators even add timestamps of sections in the video in the description of the video to aid in jumping exactly into what a viewer wants.

There is also a looping function on Youtube that can be used in two ways. You can loop a video in its entirety or loop a playlist in its entirety. But that’s all there is to it. Kudos to the Youtube team for understanding the well-known facts on why repeating a video or audio is important to a person’s comprehension and entertainment.

Youtube can’t handle it

However, the native YouTube looper doesn’t cut it when you are looking to loop a section of a YouTube video. That can not be written into the description of the video with timestamps. But just because Youtube hasn’t added the feature, it doesn’t mean it is not a needed feature. Everyone who has ever used Youtube has had to repeat a part of a video over and over.

It could be, for example, an award show or a music concert that you are watching on Youtube, and you just like that one performance in the middle and let it loop. Or you could be listening to your favorite podcast, and you like this one section that you’d want it to loop till it sinks in. Or maybe you are a student or a hobbyist watching a lecture or a tutorial, and you want a chapter or section to loop till you understand a process or idea. The fact remains that we all need more than what Youtube has to offer when it comes to our “loop needs.”

The need for such a feature cannot be overemphasized. And sometimes, you just feel hopeless and start looking into ways to download a Youtube video so that you can try implementing the A-B repeat on a specialized media player. Luckily, you no longer have to go through all that hustle. We will introduce you to a great YouTube repeater. Read on.

How to loop a section of a YouTube video?

For all your Youtube repeater needs, or if you specifically want to loop a section of a YouTube video, we would recommend using a powerful online tool called ListenOnRepeat. This is an easy-to-use quick tool to help Youtube viewers repeat entire Youtube playlists, an entire Youtube video, or a section in a Youtube video. 

It is very easy to use; all you have to do is copy the link for the Youtube video you would like to watch and loop it into the search section.

The cool part about the search feature on ListenOrepeat is that if you don’t know the link address to the video, you can simply search the title of the video the same way you would on Youtube.

Once your search is done, which is a quick process, then you will have a list of the result, and picking one will load it into the ListenOnRepeat player.

It is in this player where you can select any section of the video by adjusting the slider below the video player.

The slider has a start end and a finish end. You guessed it, these ends of the slider will mark the beginning timestamp and the end timestamp of the section you would like to loop.

The sliders can be adjusted to any length within the video’s timeline. If you want to loop the whole video, you can just leave the start end of the slider at the very beginning and the finish end at the end of the video.
