Today’s featured tech tip….
How to instantly restart a YouTube video
Do you watch YouTube videos on a laptop or desktop computer?
If so, you probably watch some videos more than once by dragging the time slider all the way back to the left.
The thing is, successfully clicking on the slider can be tricky if you’re trying to restart the video before it ends and the next one loads into the browser.
Well here’s a very simple way to immediately restart the video without having to clumsily try to “catch” the slider with your mouse pointer…
Just press the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard.
Press the 0 key and the video that’s currently playing will immediately start over at the beginning – no scrambling with the mouse.
Give it a try the next time you fire up YouTube in your desktop browser.

• Why you shouldn’t respond to ‘Feel Good Posts’ on Facebook
Yes, they can give you a warm fuzzy feeling, but they can also be malicious in nature.
They’ve been hosting my blogs for years. This post explains why.
