YouTube On Repeat: How to Loop & Repeat Videos

Ever found a song, an ambient track, or a funny clip that you just want to put on repeat? Want to play YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and other videos on loop? Our tool acts as a powerful video repeater for YouTube and other sites, featuring a built-in repeat button to make looping incredibly simple.

Step 1: Paste Your Link

Simply copy the URL of a YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Mixcloud, Loom, Wistia, SoundCloud, or other supported video you want to watch. Paste it into the search bar at the top of our app and hit "Loop It". That's it! Your video will now play continuously, automatically restarting when it reaches the end.

Pro-Tip #1: The URL Trick

You can instantly loop any video without copying and pasting! Just go to your browser's address bar and replace youtube, facebook, dailymotion, or vimeo with watchonrepeat. (For Twitch VODs, change twitch.tv to watchonrepeat.com).

Example:
Change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
To: https://www.watchonrepeat.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

How to Loop a Specific Part of a Video (A/B Looping)

Sometimes you don't want to repeat a YouTube video in full — you just want to loop a YouTube video section. This is called A/B looping.

• Load your video into the player.
• Below the video, drag the circle handles on the Custom Timestamp Loop slider to set your start and end points.
• Alternatively, you can manually type the exact start and end times into the input boxes.
• The video will now automatically and endlessly repeat just that specific segment!

Pro-Tip #2: The Bookmarklet

Want to loop videos even faster? Drag our "Loop on WOR" bookmarklet from the app's sidebar directly to your browser's bookmarks bar. The next time you are on YouTube and want to repeat a video, click the bookmark, and it will instantly open here!

Looping for Sleep, Focus, & Ambience

Not every loop needs to be an active learning session. Many users utilize WatchOnRepeat to create a distraction-free environment for deep work or relaxation. Whether you want to loop a 10-hour crackling fireplace, continuous rain sounds for sleeping, or a Lofi hip-hop stream for studying, our infinite repeater ensures the background ambiance never stops and never gets interrupted by a sudden, jarring algorithm recommendation.

Organize Your Favorite Loops

Once you have found the perfect video and set up your custom A/B loop segments, you don't have to lose your progress. By creating a free account, you can save your customized loops into personal playlists. This is incredibly useful for building a library of study materials, backing tracks, or workout routines that you can instantly return to at any time, on any device.
