Ah, I don't think I've understood that mechanic fully! Thanks for the clarification.

Not the real video - Boss Keys to come... far in the future, at this rate :P

Aha! Option + Right Arrow (or whatever the Windows equivalent is). Thanks y'all!

(Turns out this is a YouTube Premium-only feature! And there doesn't seem to be a keyboard shortcut...)

Anyone know if there's a keyboard shortcut for the Jump Ahead (aka "skip past the sponsored segment") button on YouTube?

Yes, but right now it seems like you have to do it for every video you watch - if this was a system-wide option that people could opt into I would consider allowing these dubs to be published

Basically: It's not a great user experience.

So I've removed the auto-dubbed tracks and video titles from the Game Jam video, and stopped it from happening on future uploads.

I'll work to remove them in legacy videos soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

YouTube makes it the default option for everyone in non-English countries, and it must be turned off with every single video.

Furthermore it has mistakes, and even translates the title so it looks like a native French / Italian / etc video, when it's a crudely dubbed English video.

Sorry to those in other countries who viewed recent GMTK videos and got a version of the video with a strange robotic voice in French, German, etc

Turns out YouTube switched on AI-powered "auto-dubbing", without warning creators.

As long as it's clear it's not officially linked to the jam, go for it!

Game Maker's Toolkit @gamemakerstoolkit.com · Aug 15

Also, thank you!

Game Maker's Toolkit @gamemakerstoolkit.com · Aug 15

I will pass the feedback along to @alchemygames.bsky.social !

I didn't do the port myself - handled by Alchemy Games. So I won't be able to talk about that side of things. I'd recommend someone else who has done the deed themselves - Thomas Stewart is a good start! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN3U...
