If you click on the left or right side of the remote it will jump back or forward 10 seconds. Makes going back 30 seconds really easy.

- softwaredoug 6y agoWow, I will have to try this! Thanks for the tip.
- azinman2 6y agoFor some reason, this doesn’t always work, even though I see the 30 sec jog icon appear.
- tshaddox 6y agoIt’s probably your physical button. My button will audibly click when I have my thumb on the far left or right edge, but won’t actually trigger unless I press very firmly after hearing the click. Pressing the button with my thumb in the middle works reliably as expected. Apple support wouldn’t do anything about this except offer to sell me a replacement remote.
- azinman2 6y agoBut I see the timeline controller on the screen react to it with the icon, it just doesn’t actually move in time.
- pkAbstract 6y agoYou just need sub-millimeter precision, on a slippery glass remote made for babies with small hands, and then to time it so you touch the trackpad then click it such that you activate the skip back/skip forward function, but not so long that a cursor appears on the timeline. It's really fun, kind of like if your bank required you to do a little dance every time you wanted to buy something.
- wl 6y agoMore often than not, this pauses playback instead of skipping.
- zuppy 6y agoit’s not working all the time, it’s frustratingly inconsistent.
- rconti 6y agoMaybe half the time it works right, and it seems to depend on app as well. The voice commands were nice "forward 60 seconds" but for some reason it seemed to have a bug where "forward two minutes" almost NEVER worked right on YoutubeTV. You could say almost any other time interval, but not 2 minutes.
