Description from store
This tiny and efficient extension adds standard video playback controls to Instagram™ videos. Normally, all you can do with an Instagram™ video is play or pause it, but this extension will expose the native HTML 5 video player which has a seek bar (aka video scrubber), a volume control, a play/pause button, Picture-In-Picture (floating video) button, fullscreen video button, and on *some* videos it will also display a download button!
The extension automatically runs and works on all web pages that embed Instagram™ videos!
How to use it:
1) Load any web page that contains an Instagram video
2) Click the video to make it play
3) That's it - the extension will automatically detect the video and will reveal the control buttons.
Options:
-Control volume and playback speed via hotkey.
-Remember your volume and playback speed for future videos.
See the extension config page via right-clicking the extension icon in your browser bar, then select "Options". Or, just navigate to chrome://extensions/
Default Hotkeys - customizable via chrome://extensions/shortcuts
Windows / Linux:
Alt + UpArrow: Increase Volume
Alt + DownArrow: Decrease Volume
Ctrl + UpArrow: Increase Playback Speed
Ctrl + DownArrow: Decrease Playback Speed
Mac:
Alt + UpArrow: Increase Volume
Alt + DownArrow: Decrease Volume
Command + UpArrow: Increase Playback Speed
Command + DownArrow: Decrease Playback Speed
Notes:
- After you install the extension, make sure to reload the page for any browser tabs that were opened before installing the extension. The extension will not run in those tabs until you do so.
- The download video button doesn't work on many videos anymore due to recent instagram changes, but it does still work on *some*.
- On pages where instagram auto plays videos as you scroll, such as on your home page feed, make sure to play/pause the video by clicking in the center of the video, instead of using the button at the lower left. Otherwise, when scrolling, the video may not stay paused.
Wondering why the extension is broken so much lately?
Read https://rehfeld.us/browser-extensions/controls-for-instagram/instagram-changes
Issues currently being worked on:
-Remember volume and playback speed not working in some cases.
-The volume mute/buttons on the video vs the Instagram GUI aren't always in sync.
-On stories, you must use the instagram play/pause button because the button on the video doesn't work.

Latest reviews
- (2024-01-12) ZenGod: The most useful extension for instagram PC
- (2023-10-24) Louis: You guys got downloaded by LukeAFK and ruined it.
- (2023-10-12) Jony Plodzien: Goooooood
- (2023-10-02) Big Boss: Pretty good but make it memorize the volume that we put
- (2023-10-01) jawad Riahi: its a great extansion but it will be better if it dosent mute the vedio every time you scrol the vedio
- (2023-09-25) Alp Aca: Download button doesnt exist in my videos :(
- (2023-09-06) Isaac Bruno (iBrunoDEV): When I control video time volume get muted.
- (2023-09-02) Cody Palmer: This would be perfect, but every single time I look at a video it starts it mutes it. When I try to scroll on an insta video, that also mutes it. When you pause the video, it mutes it. So you will always miss a part of the video's audio no matter what.
- (2023-09-02) Marco Coraggio: Works very well. Can you make it work also on Facebook reels?
- (2023-08-19) Gregory Wilson: Excellent! Works perfectly.
- (2023-08-07) Lucas Sequeira: Is not remembering the volume.
- (2023-07-30) Kadircan Beker: Very good, thank you.
- (2023-07-27) Ali zeck: when i move through the video timeline, the volume get muted
- (2023-07-18) Bart: Works great and VERY useful! It's a shame that content hosts like Instagram are ever so stupid as to not provide basic controls.
- (2023-07-18) Joseph Fuller: This extension works great. Instagram makes code changes regularly that break some functions such as audio control or video time position, which often apply to some users but not others, but the developer is very responsive when good problem reports are made (rather than complaining in a review) and has worked with me directly multiple times to troubleshoot and fix the issues.
- (2023-06-28) SG: Good
- (2023-06-19) Henny Molly: Since i've downloaded this extension about a year ago the "remember video volume level" has not worked once. It initially plays videos at 100% volume which is excruciating loud (as is without the extension!) and since a few weeks ago it keeps muting and pausing the video after the first view, so no looping. Rest of the controls work fine, like the progress- and the volume bar and the play/pause buttons and playback speed.
- (2023-06-19) mmeichan: Doesn't work. Instagram videos are still as loud as before.
- (2023-06-06) Mamad Nobari: Works great, and apart from the mute thing that happens, which most of the times is Instagram's problem not this plugin, I have only one problem with it. And that is that I can't click on a video playing in a story so I could go to the main page the video was shared from. Turning it off solves it, but if they could just make it so the upper half isn't the controls when watching a story, it would solve it and we could have control and also being able to click on the video to go the original page.
- (2023-06-05) Aladine: Everytime you move through the video timeline, the volume get muted no matter how many time i turned back
- (2023-06-01) Nathan Gonzales: It works almost perfectly, I found out that the issue people are having with it automatically muting is because the normal Instagram button for muting a video is toggled on by default. You can just unmute it, it's right above the new playback buttons to the right side. Now it should work properly, my only complaint is that when you click on a new video it plays it at full blast automatically still, it doesn't remember your last video's volume. idk if that can be changed but otherwise amazing extension
- (2023-05-26) ilma: Dosen't remember setting
- (2023-05-21) Aedon: Working!
- (2023-05-19) Commander Bravo2: its alright, but everytime i move the video slider it mutes the audio
- (2023-05-14) KOK FENG WONG: It Work!!! Thanks man! Every time I'm blown out of my eardrums by the sound of instagram videos This save me
- (2023-05-14) Alexandre Oliveira (Atadolfo): A barra de progressão e a velocidade do vídeo funcionam perfeitamente, show de bola.

- (2023-03-28) Sebastian: Does not remember volume setting.

- (2023-03-16) Sebastian Amado Rodriguez Rojas: i dosent work no funciona

- (2023-03-08) Fernanda Rahal: Super funciona!
- (2023-03-05) Hüseyin Turhan: Can you please just fix the mute issue? Whenever I start/pause or forward/backward the video goes to mute.
- (2023-03-04) Aymane Chaali: i Need it !
- (2023-02-09) Charlie Lin: 終於，不會被突然的巨響而驚嚇，謝謝！非常好用
- (2023-02-06) Gersivan Oliveira: Versão 1.32 | Atualização: 5 de fevereiro de 2023 Não está funcionando corretamente após recente update.
- (2023-02-05) David Wartski: As of February 5th, the extension no longer works. The only thing it's good for is seeing how long a video is when you click anywhere on the video, and it pauses, revealing the video's length. Hopefully, they'll fix it.
- (2023-02-05) Naoko Inaba: It doesn't work lately.
- (2023-02-04) Lucas VB: Doesn't work as of Feb 04.

- (2023-02-03) Dbs: Doesn't work anymore
- (2023-02-03) Jeff Beezos: I'll keep it short. Used to be great. No longer works. That's all.

- (2023-01-20) Sergey Pochechuev: Great! Thank you for your work
