Do you have a favourite YouTube channel, but don't know what to watch? This extension is for you!
The "Random YouTube Video" extension adds a "Shuffle" button to YouTube channel, video and shorts pages, which will play a truly random video from the current channel. Use the extension's popup to customize your experience even further!
Level up your YouTube experience with these features:
✔ A new shuffle button that uses the native look and feel of YouTube - including dark mode - so it fits right in with the YouTube interface you're used to!
✔ Utilize a wide range of options to individualize your experience, such as ignoring shorts, only shuffling from the most recent videos or shuffling multiple videos into a playlist!
✔ A smart, 100% anonymous backend technology ensures that popular channels shuffle as fast as possible, no matter how many video uploads they have!
✔ ...and much more!

- (2023-08-13) Андрей Черкашин: thank you Nikkel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- (2023-06-21) Mike Vincent: Works fine but it has trouble with this channel with 18K videos: EpicSkillshot - LoL VOD Library After loading for about 3 minutes it shows "Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist"
- (2023-06-10) DrMonsterX: very nice
- (2023-06-03) Lisa Lavandula: Awesome idea. I love randomizers. I found a 7 year old video with 0 comments from a YouTuber who now has 60k subscribers thanks to this extension. :p
- (2023-04-26) Cherkey: Разработчики, огромное вам спасибо за такое расширение. Я очень давно искал что-то похожее, но не мог найти. ставлю максимально высокую оценку.
- (2023-04-13) Pro Grammer: This extension is awesome! I can't believe I've only found out about this now. I wonder if this can be ported to Firefox though. It would be really great to see it there too since I usually use Firefox for personal browsing.
- (2023-03-21) Антон Воронин: Хорошее расширение. Именно то, что я давно искал
- (2023-03-13) Dolan Spons: Man, after getting this extension, it feels like I upgraded YouTube...Can't believe they don't have this already. It's such a useful feature and is incredibly easy to use.
- (2023-03-12) Robert Millier: This has been a great extension for a very long time, definite recommend. I am writing this post to report a bug though... On the yt channel "Instrumental121" I have found the shuffle button displaying "unknown error". Not a disaster since it's just one channel out of the dozens I tried it on but it is noteworthy and could happen to others on other channels too...
- (2023-02-28) do0myk: works as intended
- (2023-02-09) terter: This is a complete gamechanger!!! I was having a bit of trouble initially and was ready to write a review asking for help. But it turns out I just needed to re-open my browser! 5 stars, incredible.
- (2023-01-18) Johnny Smalls: I like this extension a lot. Would be great if I had the option of opening the random video in a new tab, instead of the same tab.
- (2023-01-15) Joschua Becker: Had allready simmilar ideas to implement that feature but you did it. Ty.
- (2023-01-03) Zachary Metzgar: Perfect. I thought that with how niche of an idea this was that there wouldn't be anyone motivated enough to make this kind of extension, but you have proved me wrong. Works exactly like I imagined it would. Great job!
- (2022-12-28) Безупречный Сенсей: THIS IS A MIRACLE. this happened. everything worked. guys who are developing this program - you have fulfilled my dreams. I'm changing my review to 5 stars. I am your biggest fan. well done. good job
