Description from extension meta

Adds video playback controls (seek bar, volume, play/pause, download video button) to Instagram™ Embedded Videos in web pages.

Image from store Controls for Instagram Videos
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 Chrome HTML 5 video player which has a seek bar, a volume control, a play/pause button, Picture-In-Picture (floating video) button, fullscreen video button, and a download video button! Additionally, if you adjust the volume of a video, the volume will be remembered for future videos. This feature can be disabled in the extension config, if desired. You also have the ability to change the video playback speed between 1/2 to 4x normal speed. You must set this speed in the extension config. The download Video button is very convenient - just click it, and the video file will download! 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. If you want to change the extension configuration (i.e., to set playback speed), click the extension icon found in the top-right of your browser, and then select "Options". Legal: Instagram™ is a registered trademark. This extension was developed independently of Instagram™, by someone who is not related or affiliated with Instagram™, without any help or endorsement from them. This extension was previously named "Instagram Controls" until early 2018. --------- Changelog --------- Aug 9th, 2020 V1.22 - Potential Bugfix for disappearing videos/images on some pages.

  • (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: 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!

  • (2023-03-28) Sebastian: Does not remember volume setting.
  • (2023-03-25) Alex Curtis: Excellent extension. For some reason the video mutes after you pause it and hit play again which was my only issue. Otherwise it's good
  • (2023-03-20) Endrew Silva: Need to fix! in stories, the sticker links cannot be clicked when the plugin is active
  • (2023-03-16) Sebastian Amado Rodriguez Rojas: i dosent work no funciona
  • (2023-03-15) Kazi Zawad: This is simple and awesome . It does exactly what it supposed to do and does not interfere with any default instagram functions
  • (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.

Latest issues

  • (2024-03-17, v:1.33) Thomas: Mac Keyboard Shortcuts
    Hijacks CMD+Up arrow & CMD+Down arrow keyboard shortcuts on Mac. These shortcuts are core to the browser to go to the top and bottom of a page and should not be overwritten as the extension does. They aren't customizable in chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
  • (2023-09-26, v:1.33) Daniel Lee Carlile (The Akkordeonist): Automatically Mutes Video by Default
    Please include a way to change default volume so video doesn't begin muted and automatically mute if you try to start it over. If the video is only a few seconds long you can't ever even hear the beginning because you have to start it over and then as speedily as you can go over and unmute it. And even with this extension, which is now looping Insta videos by default, the volume is automatically muted again at the beginning.
  • (2023-08-17, v:1.33) Ricardo Macedo: Side effect on Google Sheets
    Hi. I just want to report an issue that this extension affects the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + arrow-key [up, down, left, right] which is used in Google Sheets [same in Excel] to navigate to the last cell populated with data. I'm a heavy user of Google Sheets and this was driving me crazy, as it's a frequently used keyboard shortcut. After some googling I found a forum where someone said that he found out it was caused by your Chrome extension. I then uninstalled it, with a great sense of relief. Could you please put a warning somewhere in the installation workflow? Maybe right after the installation, if Chrome can open a page with some info about this side effect. However, the ideal thing to do would be for you guys to fix the issue.
  • (2023-07-18, v:1.33) Joseph Fuller: Audio gets turned off anytime the position bar is used
    IG seems to have made a minor change again, so that if audio is turned on using the extension (so it only applies to the one video instead of all videos), using the position bar to jump back or forth, or pausing and unpausing the video, turns the audio off again. This makes it hard to have the audio working immediately when the video starts to play because I can't position it at the beginning and turn on audio then click play, and have to turn it on again when moving around. And of course turning on audio globally means I have to turn it off again before scrolling otherwise I get blasted with the next one (they are also always resetting to maximum volume again) and I often forget.
  • (2023-05-16, v:1.33) im majid: i see the button but i cant click it
    Every time I open a video on Instagram, your addition appears to me, but it does not allow me to click it or do anything as if it does not exist, just a form. I also tried to delete it and download it again, but it did not work either.
  • (2023-04-27, v:1.33) No Plastic: Control audio by mouse wheel functionality
    Hi, thanks for the amazing extension. Is it possible to add mouse wheel volume control? That would be brilliant addition to already brillian extension. Thanks again :)

  • (2023-03-14, v:1.33) PirateLemon: Video/reel downloader
    Hello, I've been using this extension for a long time now, I've switched a bunch of them but this one seems to be the only regularly maintained one. Have you considered making an instragram reel and video downloader that actually works? I tried over 20 of them and they are all broken on reels. I know there is the copy link method, but one implemented inside would be great!

  • (2020-12-12, v:1.23) Jordan B.: Download button not working
    Downlaod button no longer appears and you cant download videos in general even if you right click it. My guess is instagram changed the way they host videos because i checked and compared the urls from now and before, and its changed in certain places. Could this be fixed somehow ?

  • (2020-05-21, v:1.18) Emm N.: Unable to access controls
    Hi! When using it on stories, the Send Message form is right on top of the controls (on z axis). While I can make it go away with uBO, would it be possible to move that form a little above the controls?
  • (2020-05-12, v:1.18) guniu: V1.18
    I see you reverted the 1.17 change so now stories are broken again. Is there anyway I can get 1.17 back? Or maybe a new setting in Options for those who want to enable it and don't care about other videos being broken with it enabled? I just want the fixed stories back somehow.
  • (2020-05-12, v:1.17) Elias Thalassochoritis: Controls for Instagram - Post VS Stories
    Hi, I saw that you improved the stories by shrinking the y and making the video smaller by vertical so we can have access on the controls (genius one), but it happens also on posts and appears like that: https://i.imgur.com/LOVp3og.png , do you think that you can improve it?
  • (2020-05-11, v:1.17) Theo Queiroz: Last update
    I think the last update Instagram pushed to the web version broke something. First, profile pages won't load the first time, I always have to press F5 once or twice. Then videos sometimes won't play or play sized to 2x2 inches. This started to happen yesterday and I have tried with the extension disabled to see if it was the culprit.

  • (2020-02-22, v:1.15) Rnksts: Page and carousel are scrolled automatically when a video post loads
    When a video post is loaded and the extension does it's thing, in addition to adding playback controls it will scroll the page to it automatically. For example, if in the feed the third post is a video, when the homepage is loaded the page will automatically scroll to this post, same happens when scrolling through the feed as post are loaded. Also, on carousel post, if it contains a video not in the first position, instead of displaying the first slide it will show the video from another slide on top.
  • (2019-09-30, v:1.12) Michael: This is not currently working
    Hope you can get it fixed
  • (2019-09-23, v:1.11) Benjamin Lindley: Allow volume adjust/mute before pressing play on a video
    A lot of instagram videos have their annoying music blasting right from the start, so I have to press play, and then race my mouse across to mute it while my ear is being raped.
