[Trick] Play Snake Game While Watching Videos on Youtube

An easter egg has been recently discovered in Youtube. You can play the famous “Snake” game in Youtube’s video player. This trick only works in YouTube’s new player, which is only available for videos that don’t include annotations or ads. It’s limited to the videos played on YouTube’s site and it doesn’t work for embedded videos. So you have to be on Youtube.com to see the game.

Play any video with new video player and press and hold left arrow key for 2 secs, and you’ll see a transparent snake on the video.

Here’s an example of video you can use to play Snake.

Make sure the video player is focused. Once the game starts, you can direct a transparent snake around the video player with the arrow keys to eat up dots which makes the snake bigger. Hitting the edge of the player or any part of your snake’s body will end the game. You can even play the game while video is playing.
