Quick answer: on a computer, right-click the video and click Loop. In the YouTube app, tap Settings → Additional settings → Loop video. That repeats the whole video. To repeat just one part — a chorus, a solo, one sentence — paste the link into the LoopTube player above and set start and end markers.
How to loop a whole YouTube video
On a computer
- Open the video on youtube.com.
- Right-click anywhere on the video.
- Click Loop. The video now restarts every time it ends.
Right-click and click Loop again to turn it off.
On a phone or tablet (YouTube app)
- Open the video in the YouTube app.
- Tap the video, then tap Settings (the gear icon).
- Tap Additional settings.
- Tap Loop video.
Same steps on iPhone, iPad and Android.
On a TV or games console
- While the video plays, press down on the remote or controller.
- Select Repeat until it shows "Repeat • Currently playing".
The Repeat toggle is also under Settings while a video plays.
A whole playlist
- Start playing any video in the playlist.
- In the playlist box under the video, tap or click Loop.
Tap Loop again until a 1 appears to repeat just the current video.
You can also paste the link into the player at the top of this page: LoopTube repeats the whole video by default, in any browser. For music on repeat with a play counter and a sleep timer, use Repeat a song.
How to loop just one part of a YouTube video
- 1
Copy the YouTube URLGo to the YouTube video you want to loop and copy the URL from the address bar — or right-click the video and choose "Copy video URL".
- 2
Paste it into LoopTubePaste the URL into the search box at the top of LoopTube and press Enter. The video loads in the player within a couple of seconds.
- 3
Drag the A and B markersYou'll see two handles on the progress bar — A (start) and B (end). Drag them to mark the exact section you want to repeat. You can fine-tune to the tenth of a second.
- 4
Press play — it loops automaticallyHit play and the video repeats between your markers automatically. No button to press at the end of each loop — it just keeps going until you stop it.
- 5
Slow it down if neededUse the Tempo slider to reduce speed to 50%, 75%, or any value down to 25% — the pitch stays the same so speech and music don't distort.
- 6
Save your loop (optional)Click the bookmark icon to save your loop points. Next time you open LoopTube the video will be waiting for you at exactly the same position.
When YouTube's own loop isn't enough
YouTube's Loop setting repeats the entire video, which is all you need for a song or a lullaby on repeat. There's no way to mark a specific 30-second section and loop just that. For anyone learning something from a video — a musical phrase, a movement, a line of dialogue — that's the part you actually need. LoopTube adds A/B markers so you loop the section, not the whole thing.
What people use YouTube looping for
🎸
Learning guitar solos
Slow a solo down to 50% to hear every bend and slide, loop the four hardest bars, then build the tempo back up as you nail it.
🗣️
Language learning
Loop a single sentence of native speech at 75% speed to catch vowel sounds and intonation patterns. Ear-training that would take months from a textbook.
💃
Dance & choreography
Mark the eight counts of a move you're struggling with, repeat it 30 times at reduced speed, then bring the tempo back to performance speed.
🎓
Online lectures
Loop the 30 seconds of an explanation you didn't follow the first time. Much faster than rewinding and losing your place.
⚽
Sports technique
Frame-accurate loop of a golf swing, a serve, or a tackle — compare technique across repetitions and spot what you're doing differently.
🥁
Transcription & ear training
Slow a drum fill or a chord sequence to 40% and loop it until every note is clear. Works for any instrument, any genre.
Tips for getting the most out of looping
Start wide, then narrowSet a generous loop first (a full phrase or bar), get comfortable with it, then drag the markers inward to isolate the exact bar you need.
Use keyboard shortcutsSpace bar plays and pauses. Arrow left/right skips 5 seconds. This keeps your hands free for your instrument or notes.
Slow down before you speed upStart at 60–70% tempo to build accuracy, then increase by 5% increments. Trying to learn at full speed usually just reinforces mistakes.
Loop more than you think you needMuscle memory requires repetition. Aim for at least 20–30 correct repetitions of a phrase before moving on.
Save loops for long projectsIf you're working through a transcription or a piece over multiple sessions, save each section as a named loop so you can jump straight back in.

Frequently asked questions
YouTube's built-in repeat option only loops the entire video from start to finish. It has no A/B marker system to repeat a specific section. LoopTube was built to fill that gap — set exact start and end points on any YouTube video and loop just that section.
Paste the YouTube URL into LoopTube, then drag the A marker to where you want the loop to start and the B marker to where you want it to end. Press play and only that section repeats — the rest of the video is ignored.
Use the Tempo slider in LoopTube to set the speed — anywhere from 25% to 200% of normal. LoopTube uses pitch-preserving time-stretching so music and speech sound natural at any speed, not like a tape slowing down.
