SmartSeek – Resume YouTube Videos Automatically
SmartSeek is a powerful Chrome extension that lets you resume YouTube videos exactly where you left off — even when your YouTube history is turned off. Designed for students, professionals, and content consumers, SmartSeek eliminates the frustration of rewatching or scrubbing through long videos just to find your last spot.
What is SmartSeek?
SmartSeek is a lightweight YouTube progress tracker that automatically saves and restores your watch progress for every video you watch. Whether you’re watching tutorials, podcasts, lectures, or documentaries, SmartSeek ensures you can always resume playback seamlessly from your last timestamp.
No YouTube account or login is required. SmartSeek works entirely through your browser with no dependency on your personal YouTube history.
Key Features
1. Automatically Save Video Progress
SmartSeek tracks your watch time and stores your progress locally in your browser every few seconds while the video is playing.
2. Auto-Resume from Last Watched Timestamp
When you return to a previously watched YouTube video, SmartSeek automatically resumes playback from where you left off.
3. Works Even with History Off
SmartSeek is ideal for users who prefer privacy. It works even when you’re logged out of YouTube or have disabled your watch history.
4. Intuitive Popup Interface
Click the SmartSeek icon to view a list of saved videos, timestamps, and titles. You can even jump back to a specific point in any video with one click.
5. Auto-Cleanup of Old Data
Video progress older than 45 days is automatically cleared to keep your browser storage optimised.

1. Students watching long online lectures
2. Developers and learners using YouTube for tutorials
