Real Video Controls for Instagram Reels, Stories & Feed – Reels Scrubber

Description

Real video controls on Instagram. Seek, volume & speed on reels, stories, feed & posts. Mute preference sticks while scrolling. ⚡ WORKING NOVEMBER 2026: Fully updated to handle the recent Instagram layout changes that broke older video controllers. Persistent audio and scrubbing are fully functional. Reels Scrubber re-enables native HTML5 video controls on Instagram, restoring the seek bar and volume slider that Instagram removes by default. If you've had to rewatch a Reel from the beginning because there's no scrubber, or watched Instagram silently re-mute your audio mid-scroll, this extension fixes both. CORE FEATURES — FREE FOREVER: - Seek Bar / Video Scrubber: Jump to any moment in a supported Instagram video instantly. No more rewatching from the start. - Volume Control: Set your preferred volume directly on the video player layout. - Playback Speed: Watch at 0.5×, 1.5×, 2×, or any speed your browser natively supports. - Fullscreen: Watch any video fullscreen — including Reels. - Feature Menu: Press ? on Instagram (or use the corner button) to see everything the extension does and what's free vs. Pro. - Enable / Disable Toggle: Turn the controller on or off from your extension toolbar popup at any time. NEW — REELS SCRUBBER PRO (OPTIONAL): - HD Video: Enforces the highest available video quality on supported Reels, Stories, and feed videos. Quality depends on the original upload. - Download Videos: Save any reel or post to your device from the ⋮ menu on the player. Comes with HD. - Video transcription (beta): Turn speech from Reels, Stories, feed videos, and video posts into text you can read and copy. Includes 8 minutes total during your trial and 30 minutes per month with paid Pro, including yearly plans. Results are available for 24 hours. - Keyboard Shortcuts: A / S / D to seek back, play-pause, and seek forward. M to mute, F for fullscreen. - Auto-Scroll Reels: Automatically moves to the next Reel when the current one ends — hands-free watching. - Speed & Volume Memory: Set your preferred speed and volume once — they're applied to every video automatically. - Loop Sections: Set in/out points to replay any moment on repeat. Perfect for tutorials, dance moves, and music. Eligible users can try Pro free for 7 days on the monthly plan, then $3.99/month. Yearly subscriptions cost $39.90/year, equivalent to 2 months free. Trial eligibility is checked before monthly checkout; an email previously used for a trial is offered checkout without another free trial. Checkout is handled securely by Stripe. Manage or cancel your subscription from the extension popup. Every core feature stays free forever. WHERE IT WORKS: - Home Feed: (instagram.com/) - Individual Reels: (/reels/ and /reel/) - Single Post Pages: (/p/) - Profile Reels Tab: (/username/reels/) - Stories Viewer: Fully optimized to handle custom tap shields and overlay styles unique to Instagram Stories. HOW TO USE IT: 1. Install the extension — controls activate automatically, even in Instagram tabs you already have open. 2. Open any Instagram page with video content. 3. Native video controls appear automatically on supported views. Use the toolbar popup to toggle the controller on or off without uninstalling. TECHNICAL & USAGE NOTES: - Targeted Environment: This extension operates exclusively on the targeted instagram.com pages listed above. It does not inject into or support Instagram video embeds on third-party websites. - HD Playback: Switching to HD may cause a brief flash or quality change when a video first starts. - Optional Diagnostics: Anonymous diagnostic events, such as controller failures and extension version, help identify Instagram compatibility issues. You can disable diagnostics from the extension popup. - Transcription Privacy: Transcription starts only after you confirm. The video’s media link is sent to Reels Scrubber and AssemblyAI for processing. The full video duration counts toward your included minutes. Results expire 24 hours after submission, so copy anything you want to keep. Transcription is available to active Pro subscribers and trial users. Included beta limits may change. - Pro Purchases & Transcription Access: Bought Pro on another computer? Use “Already purchased? Restore” with your purchase email. Existing Pro subscribers and trial users may also need to open Pro features and choose “Restore transcription access” once to activate transcription.
