YouTube Music Keyboard shortcuts

Get the poster

YouTube Music's web player shares the YouTube player engine, so the same documented keyboard shortcuts control playback, seeking, and volume. Click the player once to give it focus, then use these keys to play and pause, skip tracks, scrub, and adjust the volume without reaching for the mouse.
