How To Activate Turn Off The Lights In YouTube

Turn Off The Lights is a cool feature on YouTube but not all videos has this feature. Some people said that it only appears on videos that are over 10 minutes long. But if you want to activate this feature even on short videos, there is a very simple solution to that.

Turn Off The Lights is cool because it fades to dark the entire page while you are watching a video in YouTube as if you are in the cinema.

Here’s how it looks:

Without Turn Off The Light:

How to activate Turn Off The Lights feature in Google Chrome:

1. Download and install Turn Off The Lights extension.

2. Watch a video in YouTube and click the lamp on your address bar.

How to activate Turn Off The Lights in Firefox:

1. Download and install Greasemonkey.

2. Restart your browser.

3. Install Turn Off The Lights script.

4. Watch a video in YouTube and click the lamp above the video.

UPDATE:

The above “Turn off the Lights” script does not work anymore with the new layout of YouTube. However, I found another script that can also “Turn off the lights” when you’re watching a YouTube video and it works well with the new layout.

Download “YouTube Lights Out” and install. (Make sure you have Greasemonkey add-on installed)

The lamp button is now located beside the “Like” button.

* If you want to make it darker, double-click the lamp button.
