For ipads, is there a feature of pausing the video using space bar when it is connected to a keyboard?

I noticed that I cannot pause the video, nor forward/rewind YouTube videos on my iPad connected to a keyboard as I can on my Macbook. I am a university student and those are very handy and important features when I try to do some learnings. Is it possible to include those features on future iPad, or is there any shortcuts I do not know yet to do things above?


Thanks for your response.

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4, null

FYI,

Apple is not here.

Cognizant or responsible Apple designers and engineers do not read nor participate in these Apple technical support communities.

These are user to user Apple product support communities.

We are all users here, just like you!

Apple supplies these forums for users to work out their product issues with other users, but these community forums ARE monitored/moderated by Apple Staff assigned to these community forums, but I do not think any info is ever passed on to who/mever the cognizant parties are who would need to know if there are any mounting issues with a product or software.

These ASC ONLY moderators and staffers, due to Apple privacy policies, do not forward any info contained/obtained from ANY of these communities to any cognizant Apple staff, teams or individuals.


The only way to get Apple to listen to you is to use their feedback portion of their website.

Cognizant Apple employees read ALL feedback generated from all of the various feedback pages and transfers the data to the proper and responsible Apple teams and personnel , but NO Apple employees will ever respond with any type of direct, individual replies from the feedback you post.


In response tp your posting,

iPads are not Macs.

iPads use touch for pretty much everything.

YouTube makes it possible, in both the app and on their website, to pause/start videos simply by tapping once on the screen of the video.


Some Bluetooth keyboards have independent controls to start/stop/forward rewind videos, but not all.

The full size Apple Wireless Bluetooth keyboard has seperate video controls to control video.

My Logitech Bluetooth keyboard has controls to control videos on my iPad.

Matias makes a wireless, Bluetooth full size, Apple clone desktop keyboard with the video controls on the keyboard that work to control video on my iPad, but space bar does not work, either.

You have to use the Bluetooth keyboard’s video controls, if available, to control video in video apps and streaming video on an iDevice.



Good Luck to You!
