This tutorial will explain how to search a word in a YouTube video and jump to that part. There is a simple method using which you can now search for any word you want in a YouTube video and then jump to that video part where it is used quickly. You can do that with the help of a free Chrome extension called “InVideo for YouTube“. This extension lets you search for a word and then shows you all the sentences where it is used in the video. Apart from that, it also shows the timestamp of each sentence and lets you go to that playback duration just by clicking on them.
The best thing about this extension is that it doesn’t require the video to have a pre-added subtitle, as it can work with the built-in subtitles feature of YouTube. It means the videos where the “CC” icon appears when you play them. However, if there is an added subtitle, then you can also switch to that for better results. This method can come in handy if you don’t want to watch an entire video and quickly move to your favorite part.
We have also covered some interesting tutorials on YouTube like how to search YouTube video based on location, filter YouTube videos by length, etc.
