Touch Video Controls – Advanced Swipe & Gesture Controls for Online Videos

Touch Video Controls is a cutting-edge browser extension designed to revolutionize the way you interact with online videos across desktops, laptops, and touchscreen devices. By overlaying intuitive gesture-based controls on video players throughout nearly any website, it empowers users to effortlessly manage volume, brightness, playback position, and speed using natural touch gestures, swipes, double taps, and long presses. This extension prioritizes ease of use and compatibility, supporting a broad range of video players and enhancing video consumption for entertainment, learning, and productivity alike.

The extension addresses the common frustration of manipulating small, sometimes inaccessible video controls by replacing them with fluid gestures. Vertical swipes on the video adjust volume or screen brightness, while horizontal swipes allow precise seeking through the video timeline. Double taps on either side of the video screen instantly jump forward or backward, ideal for skipping or revisiting content efficiently. Additionally, long presses can be customized to launch specific functions such as toggling playback or other user-defined commands, offering a personalized interaction tailored to your habits. The clean and modern popup settings interface makes it straightforward to customize gesture sensitivity levels, enable or disable features, and manage a list of domains where the extension should be inactive to prevent interference.

Designed with accessibility and unobtrusiveness in mind, Touch Video Controls performs smoothly regardless of the input method, working seamlessly with mouse, trackpad, and touchscreens alike. The extension intentionally excludes use on major platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and Twitch to avoid conflicts with their native controls, focusing instead on embedded videos found in educational content, smaller streaming sites, or custom web applications where such intuitive gesture controls are seldom offered. Since privacy is a core principle, the extension operates locally without collecting any personal data, relying solely on minimal permissions and saving preferences locally to protect your digital privacy.

Key Features:
- Universal video gesture support: Enjoy advanced control over nearly any embedded video via intuitive swipe gestures, double taps, and long press actions.
- Customizable gesture sensitivity: Fine-tune how responsive the extension is for volume, brightness, seeking, and speed adjustments to suit your personal preferences.
- Domain exclusion management: Easily specify websites where Touch Video Controls should be disabled, ensuring a conflict-free experience on platforms with their own controls.
- Enhanced accessibility: Full compatibility with mouse, trackpad, and touchscreen inputs ensures all users benefit from seamless video interaction.
- Popup configuration panel: Access a stylish and user-friendly interface to adjust all settings, toggle gestures on or off, and manage domain exclusions with ease.
- Lightweight, non-intrusive overlay: Designed to stay out of the way visually while providing powerful control capabilities without disrupting your viewing experience.
- Strong privacy focus: No personal data is collected, keeping your usage private and secure, with all settings stored locally within your browser.
