Paulius Olševskas (ID: 0000004b4a64b7b9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/12/2023 I have tested it only one one video, and there I had a little problem with adjusting sound level. the shortcuts although enabled did not work. eventually I clicked at the bottom of the video and the the sound returned. Nonetheless, it's a useful extension. Thank you George for creating it :)

Mindaugas V (ID: 00000038a25b52e6) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/16/2023 Works very unreliably. Controls are only sometimes visible, often breaks posts/stories, where Instagram own UI no longer works.
