How to Use Volume Booster on Any Website

Learn how to use Helperbird's Volume Booster to control the volume of every video on any website with one simple slider.

·

What is Volume Booster?

Volume Booster lets you set the volume of every video on a webpage at once, from 10% up to 100%, using one simple slider. If a video starts off quiet or a site's own volume controls are fiddly to reach, Volume Booster brings every video up to full volume in one place so you can hear it clearly.


Who is This For?

Volume Booster is helpful for people with hearing difficulties who need videos at full volume, anyone watching videos that start off too quiet, users in noisy environments, people who find small in-player volume controls hard to use, and anyone who finds certain websites have quieter videos than others.


How to Enable Volume Booster

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in the top right corner of your browser to open the extension menu.


Step 2: Go to the All Features Section

Scroll down to the All Features section and expand it to see all available features.


Step 3: Find Volume Booster

Look for the Volume Booster option in the Media section. Click on it to open the settings panel.


Step 4: Adjust the Volume

Use the slider, or the - and + buttons beside it, to set the volume anywhere from 10% to 100%. The bubble above the slider shows the current level.

Tip: The level you choose applies to every video on the page at once, so you don't need to adjust each player separately.


Using Volume Booster

Once enabled, your chosen volume applies to all videos on the current page. If you navigate to a new page, the same volume will continue to apply.

To return to full volume, simply move the slider back to 100%. You can also turn off the Volume Booster toggle to stop Helperbird from managing video volume.


Important Notes

Videos Only: Volume Booster controls video players on the page. Standalone audio-only players are not affected.

Maximum is 100%: Volume Booster sets each video to its own full volume — it does not amplify audio beyond that. If everything is still too quiet at 100%, turn up your device or speaker volume as well.

This extension has been an absolute lifesaver. I have that fantastic combo of ADHD and Dyslexia while trying to go through college. I have difficulty keeping letters in order, seeing the gaps between words, and with ADHD on top, I lose focus A LOT. The immersive reader has been my new best friend. It drowns out the rest of the content on the page, changes the font to something I can read, and highlights the word as it reads to me. My eyes are forced to keep going in the right direction. I can slow down and pay attention to what I'm reading. I don't even have to go back and read the same paragraph 5 times to understand it! The screen overlay has been outstanding for eye strain and being able to distinguish between words and spaces. The custom font and spacing for research articles have been an enormous advantage! I can actually read the research papers now and not have this daunting 2 column fine print page to squint over.All around, this has been the best purchase I've ever had. I use this every day, with every assignment. I don't even struggle with story-based questions anymore. The immersive reader helps me read, listen, and understand the question all at once. I am still exploring what I can use this with and how it can make my academic career, and I keep getting impressed with every new way I find to use it. Seriously, try it out. You won't regret it at all. Even if you don't have dyslexia or ADHD, just try it out. You might find that it helps you understand the content you're trying to learn even better!

I purchased this for my daughter who has been having a lot of difficulty accessing the online work set remotely by her teachers during our National Lockdown because of Covid-19. Her dyslexia was really hindering her ability to complete tasks and keep up which in turn led to increased anxiety levels...a really horrid place to be in during a global pandemic! Helper bird has been a vast help and I fully recommend it and wish more schools knew about it. Thank You Helper Bird.

I have been trying to find ways to make my child happy to go to school again, and someone recommended helperbird. She loves helperbird, and she is now much happier about the idea of returning to school. I think this might be a game changer, as they do so much web based schoolwork and research. She says they really understand people with dyslexia
