The honest answer: partially. Here is what works without extensions.
Native YouTube Loop
YouTube has basic loop functionality. Right-click on the video and select "Loop." The video repeats from start to finish.
What Native Loop Cannot Do
- Cannot loop a specific section
- Cannot control playback speed
- Does not save loop points
- No keyboard shortcuts
When You Need an Extension
For section looping, speed control, and saved loops, an extension is required. YouTube Looper Pro adds all these features.
