Description

Touch Controls

Touch Controls provides VLC-style gesture-based brightness and volume controls for the YT app when playing videos in full screen mode.

You can increase or decrease the volume by swiping your finger up or down on the right side of the screen. Swiping the finger on the left adjusts the screen brightness.

Only the official YT and YT Go apps are supported.

Go premium to enable:

• Brightness controls
• Tap action
• Double tap action
• Long press action
• Volume control action
• Seek support
• Keyboard control

If the overlays do not work please try restarting the device.

This app uses accessibility services to:

• Detect when the YT/YT Go app is playing videos in fullscreen. This will activate the transparent touch overlays to control the screen brightness and volume.

• Perform touch gestures in order to make the player controls visible.

• Listen to key presses to support the hardware keyboard control functionality.

The accessibility service is limited to the YT/YT Go app. It will not receive events from any other app. The app does not obtain or collect any personal information related to your YT activity.

Comments on Touch Controls for Android

★★★★☆ rameshwar chaudhary · Dec 18, 2023

Problem - volume function is not working in my one plus nord ce3 device but brightness function is working. Suggestion - overlay areas of touch control should be adjustable since YouTube control buttons don't work in these areas.

★★★★☆ Love U 3000 · Dec 26, 2019

The application is really good, but you should give a setting to control the seek limit as it seeks up to 10 minutes when ever I bouble tap. So, please take a look on it..... 😊

★★★★☆ kesava nandam · Oct 30, 2019

When iam tapping on the controls the video is getting paused. Iam not enabled any single tap to pause/play. I cannot enable them because iam not a premium member Please fix the issue It is very annoying

★☆☆☆☆ Hamid A · Jan 20, 2023

Controlling the brightness is not supported in the free version of the app.

★☆☆☆☆ L T · Nov 8, 2019

I wish when I double tap to go for it it just did the standard YouTube 10 seconds but no this app does a percentage of the video. So if I double tap on a 10-minute video of might skip a whole minute a 20-minute video might skip 2 minutes

★★☆☆☆ Santosh Kumar · Sep 2, 2021

I am a premium user. Volume control does not work on OPPO F19 PRO PLUS. Only brightness works. What's the solution?

★★☆☆☆ Roman Polishchuk · Jan 26, 2023

The main functionality - controlling brightness is behind the paywall. Only bad people can do this, and I wish them all the bad things.
