This wikiHow teaches you how to play YouTube videos over and over again. On the desktop version of the YouTube site, you can do this because the loop video playback option is displayed in the menu. If you want to play videos repeatedly via iPhone, you will need to create a new playlist containing the corresponding videos. Meanwhile, Android device users can visit the desktop version of the YouTube site via the Chrome browser to access the "Loop" feature.
