🤫 Who knew you could be productive while on YouTube? In this video I share 7 Productivity Secrets for YOUTUBE You Need to Know, including tips like intentionally managing your home feed so YouTube recommends you less "sticky content." A not-so-secret trick I love to use is to turn on YouTube Incognito Mode using the CMD+SHIFT+N shortcut and watching my guilty pleasures (e.g. Hearthstone gameplay) while eating. I do this since I don't want my regular YouTube recommendations to be skewed. Other YouTube Tips and Tricks include using the Find Function (CMD+F) with the Transcribe feature to quickly jump to specific segments of YouTube videos. Another tip I use all the time is to copy the video URL at the current time, so when I send it to my colleagues, they can open up the video at that exact time! Finally, you can even search within YouTube channels for "subset" of topics using the magnifying glass on the channel page. With these tips, hopefully you can prove to others that you can still be productive even while on YouTube!

Skit

oh no i don't want youtube to know i like justin bieber but i really want to listen to that song all right hey friends welcome back to the channel if you didn't think there were productivity tips for watching youtube videos you'd be wrong because the seven tips i'm about to share today are designed to help you become more intentional about the time you spend on this video

Incognito mode to protect recommendations

platform youtube productivity tip number one use incognito mode to watch your guilty pleasures without affecting your regular youtube recommendations you can turn on incognito mode in any browser by using the shortcut command shift n and on chrome specifically you can type youtube and then tab in the address bar to search on youtube platform directly embarrassing questions youtube also recently added the option to go incognito mode on the mobile app as well all you have to do is press your profile icon turn on incognito mode watch the latest black pink music video admit to no one you enjoy their music then turn off incognito mode in the exact same place

Intentionally manage your home feed

tip number two if you forgot to use incaggino mode no problem you can get rid of the evidence and future recommendations by going to any video in your home feed pressing the three dots below it and choosing not interested or don't recommend this channel altogether this might sound like a very small thing but this one tweak has improved my productivity drastically because it's helped me become more intentional about which youtube videos to watch with this combination of incognito mode and selecting not interested youtube now recommends me less sticky content meaning i'm less likely to binge watch video clips from the office for hours on end that's a really big decision maybe you should wait youtube

Insert audio clips into presentations

productivity tip number three is to insert free audio clips provided by youtube into your presentations for work or for school so let's say you have a google slides presentation prepared and you want to play welcome music for the first three to five minutes while people dial in or walk into the room yes you can choose to open up spotify or even loop a youtube video in the background but this is actually not very professional since you have to stop or turn off whatever application you're using before the actual presentation can begin what you should do instead is go to your youtube studio that can be found under your profile icon right here everyone has one and within youtube studio go down to the audio library search for a musical track that matches the mood that you're trying to you know give off let's say happy and then you can download any of these tracks immediately and after you've uploaded that song into your google drive you can go back to your presentation select the slide you want the music to start playing at click insert audio select the clip you just uploaded and you can now change it to start playing automatically perhaps turn down the volume a little bit hide icon when presenting and loop audio and now when you go into presentation mode the music will start playing automatically and once you go to the next slide it stops immediately as well feel free to check out my google drive and slides video after this one i'll link those down below and while you're down there a gentle tap on the like button will be mucho appreciated tip number four for being more

Best YouTube keyboard shortcuts

productive on youtube is all about the keyboard shortcuts here are the ones i use every single day listed in order of productiveness number one m for mute we've all been there we've all opened up a youtube video in a public place without making sure our speakers were turned off so pressing m to mute is a few milliseconds faster than clicking to pause so this might save you from some potential embarrassment second f for full screen and t for theater mode this is going to sound so silly but you know when you're eating and you don't want to get your mouse dirty this way you can actually use like your knuckle to like press and change the viewing angle or you can press spacebar as well to play and pause and the right and left arrow keys to skip forwards and backwards and all this without you having to click your mice mouse and getting it dirty that sounds weird third shift and period to speed up the video and shift and comma to slow it back down i usually watch all educational type videos at 1. 5 times speed and all entertainment or cinematic type videos at 1x to get that full experience pro tip if you want even more granular control you can actually go to settings and go to playback speed custom and you can now choose to change the speed at 0. 05 increments so these are the shortcuts i use every single day and if you want to know the full range of possibilities you can actually go to your profile icon and click on keyboard shortcuts to view the entire youtube keyboard shortcut cheat sheet youtube tip number five using the find

Find + Transcribe function

function with the transcript feature so i watched this think media video on changing white balance settings on a camera a few months ago and there's a power tip they shared that i want to listen to again but i don't want to waste another five minutes of my life so i click the three dots down here and click open transcript i press command f to bring up the find function and i type in power tip because i remember he says those exact words it finds those exact words and if i press this row right here the video jumps to that specific moment in the video saving me a bunch of time as you can see this transcript and fine combination is very powerful when it comes to how to or tutorial type videos where generally the full video is very long and you just want to reference a small portion of it youtube productivity tip

Hyperlink video at specific time

number six is another time saver and that is the hyperlink the video url at a specific time as many of you know i'm a product marketer so also keep an eye out for well put together marketing campaigns and recently google had their google marketing live event on youtube and i thought the production value was pretty amazing i wanted to share a specific scene from this hour-long event with my team member because i want to replicate this exact background look and feel in my next event so i would just right click copy video url at current time and hyperlink that directly in this email by pressing command k paste and enter this is much more efficient than me having to like paste the entire link out and then tell them exactly hey i'm talking about that scene at like 17 minute and 08 second mark last but not least is productivity tip number seven and that is to perform a

Perform targeted search

targeted search within a channel sticking with the google ads youtube channel let's say you're a digital marketer looking to learn more about the display campaign feature under the google ads umbrella product you can click the magnifying glass within the channel itself type in display enter and this will return all the videos related to display ads that has been published by this channel as you can imagine this is pretty useful if you come across larger educational type channels that make videos around different categories for example i subscribe to general undone uh this is a channel that makes in-depth camera gear videos so if i wanted to find all his videos about canon cameras i just type in canon and it'll return all the camera camera videos uh sony for all the sony videos panasonic uh so on and so forth please let me know down in the comments which one of these tips you're most likely to use i guess starting literally right now and check out this playlist for more productivity tips see you on the next video and in the meantime have a great one
