Distraction-Free YouTube Player

Sometimes you just want the video: no comments, no recommended videos, no autoplay rabbit hole. Paste one or more links and watch them in a clean, focused player — great for studying, tutorials and music.

This uses YouTube's own embedded player, so creators still get their views. Ads that YouTube chooses to show inside the player may still appear — this tool doesn't block ads.

How to use the distraction-free player

  1. 1Paste one or more video links (one per line).
  2. 2Press Play.
  3. 3Use the queue to switch videos, or turn on focus mode to dim the page.

How it works

Videos play through YouTube's official embed in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), with related videos limited to the same channel. Nothing is downloaded or stored.

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove YouTube ads?

No. The player is YouTube's own, and YouTube may show ads in embedded videos. Removing ads is what YouTube Premium is for.

Why won't some videos play?

Creators can disable embedding, and age-restricted videos can't be played in embeds.
