How does background playback work on mobile?

When you minimize the browser on iOS or Android, the video will appear in your notification panel with playback controls. Simply tap the play button in the notification to continue playing in the background. You can control playback, skip tracks, and adjust volume directly from your lock screen or notification panel - just like any music app!

Is there a quick way to convert YouTube URLs to SkipCut on desktop?

Yes! On desktop, you can instantly convert any YouTube URL by simply replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the address bar. For example: change www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID to www.skipcut.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID and press Enter. The video will load immediately without ads!

Can I cast videos to my TV (Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast)?

Absolutely! To cast to your TV, simply go full screen on the SkipCut video player and look for the casting icon (📡). Click it and select your device (Android TV, Chromecast, etc.) to start playing on your big screen. Note: Apple TV has a built-in restriction that limits resolution to 360p - this is by Apple's design and not something we can override. Android TV and Chromecast work perfectly with full HD quality!

What is SponsorBlock and how does it work in SkipCut?

SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced system that automatically detects and skips sponsor segments, intros, outros, and other non-content sections in YouTube videos. SkipCut has this feature built-in and enabled by default! When a sponsored segment is detected, you'll see a brief notification and the video will automatically skip ahead. You can customize which segment types to skip (sponsors, intros, self-promotion, etc.) by clicking the SponsorBlock logo next to the video title.
