How to control volume in YouTube on iPad, on-screen?

You can add assistive touch in accessibility in settings. Or much easier pull up the control panel from the bottom of the screen.

Thanks for the pointer to the setting. As I just replied to Alfred, on the iPad I could not get the bottom swipe to bring up the control panel ON THE iPAD while a video was running (full screen mode). The Accessibility setting is a click too many from the kind of access I'd like, but at least it's there!

I hope the problem with the bottom swipe is a 'bug' that will be fixed in some future rendition of iOS7. THAT would be the control I was looking for.

Chech that Access Within Apps is enabled in Settings > Control Center

Brilliant! That was the difference. On the iPad I can now raise the tiny tab by swiping at the bottom while a YouTube video is playing. (I can't always get it to "pull up" to reveal the controls ... must be a problem with my fingertips. <g>)

It's there ... just done differently. (Take a look at the replies above your post in this thread. You need to swipe up from the screen's bottom and, if necessary, ensure that this Control Center access is enabled for the YouTube app.)

Put the video into full-creeen mode and the volume slider is there.

I tried that (full screen mode). There was not (that I could see) any volume slider in a YouTube video when viewed in full screen. This is the case for both my iPad and iPhone (both running iOS7).

And this is odd. While I can do this on my iPhone while the video is playing, the little tab at the bottom of the iPad screen will NOT come up while the video is playing. I can swipe to get the top tap to appear but not the bottom one. I played around with the bottom tab on the iPad and found that when I'm on a 'wallpaper' screen or viewing the contents of one of my app 'folders' then I can swipe to get the bottom tab to appear, but (apparently) not while the app is running.

Odd that it works differently on the iPhone vs. the iPad. (???)
