YouTube Connect is a little add-on for Chrome and Firefox browsers, which adds a new button to the YouTube playback bar. When you click on the icon, it will generate a QR code and an 8-word mnemonic. To open YouTube video playback controls on your device, all you need to point your phone at the QR code. If the QR scanner isn’t available on your phone, you can use the 8-word mnemonic.

Use your Phone as a YouTube Remote Control

The developer admits that the add-on is a side project and is not perfect. In our test, the working of the remote control is excellent. Each tap of the button and swish of the volume slider worked as instantly as if we were using the desktop controls.
