Jump to the Point
Add to Chrome
Skip the
build-up.
Land on
the payoff.
A free Chrome extension for YouTube. Click, or press G, and the video leaps to the moment it delivers what the title promised.
Why do YouTubers never get to the point?
Because YouTube rewards watch time. "I tried it for 30 days", "is it worth it?", "which one is better?": the answer is in there, but only after the teaser, the backstory, the sponsor and the "but first". Jump to the Point finds where the answer is and takes you straight there.

How to skip the intro on any YouTube video
Add it to Chrome
Free from the Chrome Web Store. Nothing to sign up for.
Open any video
A "Jump to the point" button appears in the player once the point is found.
Click, or press G
You land where the title pays off. Press it again and you're back where you were.
It reads the video, so you don't have to watch it.
Viewers
The highlight the SponsorBlock community marked.
Chapters
The creator's own "Results", "Final verdict" or the first real step of a tutorial.
Captions
Where the creator says "the results are" or asks the title's question again.
Comments
Top comments that point at the same time.
Replays
The part people watch again and again.
No AI, and no guessing. When nothing is convincing, no button appears. A missing button is better than a wrong jump.
Not a summary. Not a 30-second skip.
| Jump to the Point | AI summaries | Intro skippers | SponsorBlock | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | The video, at the moment it answers its title | Text to read | The video, a fixed time in | The video, minus sponsor reads |
| Skips the build-up | However long it is | Not the video | Only the first seconds | No |
| Uses AI | No | Yes | No | No |
| Account | None | Often | None | None |
They get along: keep SponsorBlock for sponsor reads, and use Jump to the Point for the payoff.

Questions
How do I skip the intro on YouTube videos?
Add Jump to the Point to Chrome. A button appears in YouTube's player; click it, or press G, and the video jumps past the intro and build-up to where it answers its title.
Is there an extension that skips to the important part of a YouTube video?
That's exactly what this does. It works best on challenges ("I tried it for 30 days"), reviews ("is it worth it?"), comparisons ("which is better?") and tutorials, where it lands on the first real step.
How is this different from a YouTube summary?
A summary extension uses AI to write you text. Jump to the Point uses no AI and writes nothing: it moves the video itself to the right moment, so you hear the answer from the creator.
Does it work on every video?
It works on most videos with chapters, captions or active comments, which covers most challenges, reviews, comparisons and tutorials. Music videos, trailers and vlogs with no single payoff won't show a button.
Does it collect my data?
No. It runs in your browser, with no account, no tracking and no analytics. Privacy details.
