YouTube Loop Not Working? Here's How to Fix It

March 16, 2026 • 5 min read

You are trying to loop a video but it is not working. Right-click does nothing, or the loop keeps resetting. Here are the most common fixes.

Issue 1: Right-Click Not Working

YouTube sometimes disables right-click on videos. Try these fixes:

  • Refresh the page and try again
  • Use keyboard shortcut: press L to loop (with extension) or right-click elsewhere
  • Disable browser extensions that may interfere

Issue 2: Loop Resets on Refresh

YouTube native loop does not persist. If you refresh or navigate away, you must enable loop again. Use an extension to save loop points automatically.

Issue 3: Embed Videos Not Looping

Embedded YouTube players have different controls. Use the full YouTube website (youtube.com/watch) rather than embedded players.

Issue 4: Extension Not Working

  • Reload the YouTube page
  • Check extension is enabled in chrome://extensions
  • Clear browser cache
  • Reinstall the extension
