Description from store ❯❯ Update January 2025: I'm not actively maintaining this ❮❮ 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. Updated: June 2024

(2025-07-10) Sirus Shi: The volume is always muted when I scroll through reels on Instagram. Every video starts muted, so I press unmute, watch the reel, scroll down, and have to unmute the next one again. This happens every time, making me unmute each reel individually.
(2025-06-17) Fashtas: Love it, I can FINALLY and easily move forward and back through videos. Can't comment on sound, never have any enabled, always terrible tinny overwrought piano rubbish anyway
(2025-04-26) Emery Hajdu: Doesn't work at all with reels.
(2024-12-23) ari: beautiful. exactly what i was looking for.
(2024-11-24) erfan moradi: The feature for remembering volume level doesn't work for me.
(2024-11-08) Himanshu Rathore: the videos are always auto muted in instagram That is their default feature now every time i have to click that small speaker button to unmute a video What's the point of extension than when i have to manually click. also as it mentioned that pressing spacebar pause the video, i can confirm it doesn't Rest features r working fine please fix these pause and mute function will give it 5/5
(2024-10-17) Dylan Schiavone: Also cannot get videos to start unmuted. Wish there was a solution for this
(2024-09-22) Liam Munday: Constantly keeps muting when scrubbing through video. Every video also starts muted, even after unmuting them.
(2024-08-25) Mrdavidlinbar: There is a SERIOUS CONFLICT with other ig extension,which named Ghost - Anonymous Stories for Instagram ,can cause the stories not full screen played. However,the bar is CONFLICT with message box,they just in the same position here!
(2024-08-01) Javad: Hi, This is a great solution to address one of many malfunctions of Instagram. Please just fix the mute problem, users have been reporting it for a year now. When we pause the video doing anything even moving to another window will cause the video to mute and start play in loop Videos are mute by default, please make it an option not a default. rewinding the video cause it to mute again Please make M keyboard shortcut to toggle between mute/unmute I'd change my review to 5 star if that problem is fixed
(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.

(2023-04-12) 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?

(2022-06-03) 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

(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.
