Overview

Effortlessly Autoplay YouTube Shorts!

Tired of pressing the down arrow every few seconds? Autoplay Shorts plays the next Short automatically when the current one ends no clicks, no interruptions. Version 3 adds a full settings page so you can shape the experience around your habits.

What it does:

- Hands-Free Autoplay: Shorts play one after another automatically.
- Pause on Tab Switch: Leave the tab and the current Short pauses. Come back and it picks up where you left off.
- Daily Shorts Limit: Set a watch budget for the day. When you hit it, autoplay turns itself off until tomorrow.
- Skip Very Short Shorts: Auto-advance past anything shorter than your chosen threshold.
- Fixed Playback Speed: Watch every Short at 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, whatever speed feels right.
- Hide Shorts Shelf (beta): Don't want Shorts on the YouTube home page? Hide them.
- Skip Ads in Shorts (beta): Best-effort auto-skip of sponsored Shorts.
- Keyboard Shortcuts: Toggle autoplay, skip the current Short, pause, or reset your daily limit without opening the popup.
- Clean Settings Page: Customize everything from one easy to read panel.
- Multi-Language Support: Available in 20+ languages.

How to Use:

1. Pin the extension to your toolbar.
2. Open YouTube and click on Shorts.
3. Click the extension icon, then "Settings" to choose which features you want on.
4. Start watching Autoplay Shorts handles the rest!
