YouTube Anywhere Remote Extension

Features controls like: Pause, Rewind, Next/Previous Video, and more.

This allows you to control videos on YouTube, Udemy, and AmigosCode even while using other programs or while your browser is minimized.
The goal was to not have to switch back and forth between your video and your other content while studying, working, or gaming!

The extension also lets you choose all of your own shortcuts for ease-of-use.

-----------------------------
How to Use YouTube Anywhere Remote:

Watch the YouTube video above for a visual guide!

1. After installing, click on the dotted menu icon at the top right of your browser and under \"More tools\" click on \"Extensions\" to open the Extensions page.

2. On the extensions page, click on the menu at the top left of the page and click on \"Keyboard shortcuts\".

Here you can easily choose whatever shortcuts are most comfortable for you for each feature.

YouTube Anywhere Remote will now let you control the YouTube or Udemy video tab furthest to the left in your browser window!

IMPORTANT: Make sure to switch \"In Chrome\" to \"Global\" if you want to use features while you're using other programs or have your browser minimized.

Udemy Text Lessons Now Supported
- Next and previous buttons will now also work on lessons with text content.

Skip Ad shortcut added!
- The skip ad shortcut will only work once the actual \"Skip Ad\" button is made visible by YouTube on the screen.
