Displays player controls for video content on Instagram
Video Scrubber for Instagram adds video controls to your videos on Instagram. There's an optional page-level progress indicator that's rull cute. It's salmon.
Bonus Features:
- Keyboard shortcuts to:
* Play/pause
* Jump forward/back 5s
* Increase/decrease the volume of videos
* Change the playback rate from: .25x - 2x
* Play videos in pop-out windows.
- Remember and automatically set your last video volume level.
It does all these things because it cares about you as as person. About your well-being.

- (2023-09-14) Joey Fisher: hard to use. disables original volume icon. only shows controls when you put mouse over exactly the right area. scrubber is a very short slider.
- (2023-05-20) TNS: Doesnt work, very buggy
- (2023-04-25) Matthew Edmundson: Rewinding the video causes it to re-mute on playback, even after unmuting.
- (2023-04-12) Paulius Olševskas: I have tested it only one one video, and there I had a little problem with adjusting sound level. the shortcuts although enabled did not work. eventually I clicked at the bottom of the video and the the sound returned. Nonetheless, it's a useful extension. Thank you George for creating it :)
- (2023-01-16) Mindaugas V: Works very unreliably. Controls are only sometimes visible, often breaks posts/stories, where Instagram own UI no longer works.
- (2022-12-16) Endrew Silva: Since the new visual update of instagram, it's not possible to pause the normal videos, the function only works in AD videos, doesn't make sense, any provision of new updates?
- (2022-10-15) John Doe: Doesn't work, and does nothing at all
- (2022-10-14) Pj: Doesn't work
- (2022-10-05) Pablo Almeida: Since October it doesn't work anymore
- (2022-06-03) Kayla Summy: All I wanted was to be able to view Instagram videos in full screen on my PC. Took me an hour to find this extension as an option but so glad I did (thanks to a Reddit post). Thank you! Thank you!
- (2022-04-05) GIPeN: Ads controls, lots of unnecessary options. But it makes videos continuously autoplay, if you pause it and scroll, or change tab it plays again. Needs option to keep videos paused
- (2021-07-02) i j: Remembering volume level not work
- (2021-05-26) Saber: EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!
- (2021-03-28) Kirby Ryan: Stopped working for me too. Please help @George Mike
- (2021-01-20) Kevin Nguyen: Remember and auto-set Volume doesn't work. Always reverts to 100%
- (2020-03-15) ѦՏԌѦГԀ ͯ ͩ: nice omg :D
- (2020-02-02) Dango Z: Works perfectly! I would love to see this also work for the Instagram stories, if that is a possibility. EDIT: Knocked one star for locking the download function on the player behind the pro plan. Why change that now? EDIT 2: Problem has been fixed.
- (2019-08-25) Andrew E: Thank you!!!
- (2019-06-05) ebennett365: You have to pay to do anything with it.....
- (2018-11-19) Enigma Sapiens: It just stopped working?
- (2018-11-14) Tribe Five: The new ability to email people with a mail merge saves me so much time, it's absurd!
- (2018-11-07) Alberto Lorenzo Benavente: Funciona a la perfección. 👍🏻
- (2018-11-03) a aaa: I analyze dance videos on Instagram and this extension is a godsend as I can easily rewind when I didn't quite see a move in detail (without this extension I have to start the video over, pretty uncool if the video is 3 minutes long). So thanks for making this. I'd really enjoy a shortcut which would rewind the video by eg. 3 seconds (number of seconds preferably customizable in options) like shift+leftarrow and shift+rightarrow
- (2018-10-24) Royce Whitaker: Works great. If you disable "New Media Controls" in chrome://flags/ you can get the volume controls also...
- (2018-07-19) Vincent Cruz (VinceCryz): Volume level is gone now and the default volume is really soft anyone know how to get the level back or at least turn up the volume abit?
- (2018-05-07) Sam Treloar: Best Video controls for instagram, its exactly what i wanted, dont change a thing! even shows the little video paused icon so you know that what your looking at is a video not a picture, unlike other video control extentions. This one is the only one that works really well and dosen't clash with other extentions from my experience. Thanks for making this Georgemike!
- (2018-05-03) Kristoffer Eriksson: Thank god. My ears are saved. Thanks alot!
- (2018-04-20) Gregg Kinch: Does what it says on the box.
- (2018-04-02) Gersivan Oliveira: Bem útil.
- (2018-03-20) Matt: Works on insta, works on embedded insta on reddit. Couldn't ask for more.
- (2018-01-12) Alex Mindock: I love this Extension and can't believe that Instagram hasn't already added something like this. One request though: it doesn't seem to work for embedded Instagram videos and that would be super awesome.
- (2017-12-22) Lemon: Does exactly what I was hoping it would, thank you.
- (2017-08-27) Rod Kisten: Excelente extensão! Muito útil e bem escrita!
- (2017-08-03) Wldeardo Roldea: When you zoom the video by imagus extensions video not zoom Get a blank white background Not like before installing extensions Video Scrubber for Instagram please fix
- (2017-07-07) Lestat de Lioncourt: Thank you so much for this! Downloaded it today, and so far so good! I'm so glad this exists (but honestly why didn't Instagram have it from the get-go though???)
- (2017-05-15) rabicurto: Muito Bom ! Vai Facilitar Bastante Pra Nós Usuários. Ótimo Super Recomendo #Satisfeito
- (2017-04-15) Mitch Crane: Awesome. The only thing I would add (don't even know if it's possible, but I use a facebook extension that does it) would be the ability to remember the volume level setting between videos.
