SkipTo Extension

SkipTo - skip to the best parts of a YouTube video!


With a click of a button, SkipTo gets you to the best part of a YouTube video. SkipTo adds 3 new things to your YouTube video player:

First, SkipTo will add yellow markers to the video's timeline - these are when SkipTo thinks the best parts of the video are.

Secondly, SkipTo adds the Skip button to the YouTube video player. When clicked, the Skip button skips you to the next best part in the video.

Finally, SkipTo adds the Mark button to the YouTube video player. When you find your favorite part of the video, click the Mark button - this helps out SkipTo in calculating the best parts of the video.

CASPER CHAVA (ID: 00000087ad083fcf) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/06/2016 suena muy interesante ya que puedo guardar los puntos del video mas importantes y puedo regresar despues y localizarlos rapidamente sin necesidad de estar buscando el momento que mas me interesa de algun video, solo que nada mas te deja hacer una marca en todo el video y no dos o mas puntos como lo muestra youtube en un video de muestra de como funciona !!
