Multimedia streaming is now an integral part of everyone's life. Youtube is the largest community video streaming platform in the world. But sometimes the volume of these YouTube streaming videos is not enough. Even if the volume of the computer and the YouTube player are set to maximum, sometimes the audio is not audible. This can be corrected by a number of extensions that can be installed on your computer. These extensions are available especially on web browsers using the Chromium engine or Mozilla Firefox.
Increase the YouTube volume using the DOM console
A DOM or Document Object Model is a component of a web browser that acts as the programming interface of any web page loaded into the browser. It loads all scripts that support the execution of the Web page. A user can use the console to edit the web page. Developers mainly use Javascript scripts to make minor changes to the behavior of the web page.
Some of the benefits of using this method over extensions are:
- This method will help to bypass the restrictions at the enterprise level for users.
- It will work on any PC platform.
- It does not require any alteration of the integrity of the computer.
- This method has no problem.
Following this method is quite simple.
You must first load the YouTube video streaming page.
Now, press the F12 button on your keyboard to launch Development tools. Go to the tab called Console.
In the Command Line area of the Console tab, run the following command by copying and pasting it:
document.getElementsByClassName("video-stream")(0).volume = 0.5; //50%
By doing this, you will suddenly notice an increase in the volume of the YouTube video that was playing in the background.
In the code shown above, the number 0.5 indicates a 50% increase in volume and can be adjusted to increase the volume of the YouTube video being played.
Trust that it works for you!
