YouTube Wheel Master makes YouTube easier to control with intuitive mouse wheel gestures. Scroll to seek through videos, use Ctrl + Wheel to adjust volume, and Alt + Wheel to change playback speed. It works on both YouTube videos and Shorts, and also adds chapter navigation and handy keyboard shortcuts. Stay focused on the video instead of hunting for controls, making learning, watching, and bingeing faster and smoother.
👋 Hi Product Hunt! I'm excited to share YouTube Wheel Master.
I found myself constantly moving the mouse between the video, volume, playback speed, and timeline while watching YouTube. It felt surprisingly inefficient, especially during long tutorials and Shorts.
So I built a Chrome extension that lets you control everything with the mouse wheel:
✅ Scroll to seek through videos
✅ Ctrl + Wheel to change volume
✅ Alt + Wheel to adjust playback speed
✅ Works on both YouTube videos and Shorts
✅ Chapter navigation and handy keyboard shortcuts
The goal is simple: make YouTube feel faster and more natural to use.
I'd love to hear your feedback and feature requests. Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
The obvious UX question with remapping scroll to seek: how does it tell "I want to scroll past the video to read the description or comments" from "I want to seek"? If scrolling anywhere over the player always seeks, that's the thing that gets people uninstalling it the first time they just wanted to scroll down the page.
