YouTube Resume Position – Continue Watching

Never lose your place in a YouTube video again.

YouTube Resume Position automatically remembers exactly where you stopped
watching a video and picks up right where you left off the next time you
open it — no more scrubbing through the timeline trying to find your spot.

Whether you're in the middle of a tutorial, a lecture, a long podcast
episode, a video essay, or a multi-part course, this extension quietly
tracks your progress so you can close the tab and pick up watching later
without losing your place.

FEATURES

• Automatic save — your playback position is saved as you watch, when
you pause, and when you leave the page
• Automatic resume — reopen the same video and playback jumps straight
to where you stopped, no prompts or clicks needed
• Smart thresholds — videos you've essentially finished (last 15 seconds
or last 5%) restart from the beginning instead of resuming near the
end; YouTube Shorts and clips under a minute are never tracked, since
they don't need it
• Simple controls — a one-click toggle to pause the extension, plus a
button to clear all saved video positions
• Automatic cleanup — saved positions older than 90 days are deleted
automatically, so nothing piles up

WHO IT'S FOR

Anyone who watches long-form YouTube content and hates losing their spot:
students following video courses, developers watching coding tutorials,
podcast and video-essay viewers, or anyone who habitually closes tabs
mid-video and wants to continue watching later exactly where they left
off — like a built-in video bookmark for YouTube.
