Shorts Flow
Get Shorts Flow

You're all set.

Auto-Scroll is already on. Open YouTube Shorts on your desktop and Shorts Flow takes it from there. Here's the one-minute tour.

Open Shorts What's new in 3.0
  1. 1 · The Auto-Scroll button

    One button in the action rail

    Beside every Short, with the like and comment buttons, sits the Auto-Scroll button. Click it to switch Auto-Scroll on or off, or open its small menu for quick settings: Skip Sponsored Shorts and Speed. Rather keep the rail as it was? Hide the button in the toolbar popup.

    Auto-Scroll waits while a Short is paused, the comments or description are open, a menu is open, you're typing, or you've just scrolled yourself.

  2. 2 · Two keys

    Press A or S

    A switches Auto-Scroll on or off. S switches Speed between normal and your preferred speed. They only work on the Shorts feed, never while you're typing, and you can change either key in the toolbar popup.

  3. 3 · Pin it

    Keep it on your toolbar

    Click the puzzle-piece Extensions button in your browser's toolbar, then the pin next to Shorts Flow. In Firefox, right-click Shorts Flow in the Extensions menu and choose Pin to Toolbar. The popup holds every setting: Speed, Shortcuts, Skip Sponsored Shorts and a Session limit.
