\nThe “Scroll-Over” Volume Trick (Windows 11)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a tiny, hidden adjustment Microsoft added to Windows 11 that completely removes the need to click open a slider to adjust the volume on a webpage, YouTube video, or music player.<\/span><\/p>\n

Normally, when you want to change the volume on your computer, you have to move your mouse to the little speaker icon in the bottom-right corner, click it, wait for the menu to pop open, and then drag the volume slider left or right.<\/span><\/p>\n

But now, on Windows 11, there is a built-in shortcut that completely skips the clicking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s How to Do It<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The next time you are listening to music, watching a video, or on a video call:<\/span><\/p>\n

Move your mouse cursor down to the bottom right corner of your screen and rest it directly over the Speaker icon (or anywhere on the time\/battery icons right next to it).<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not click.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply roll your mouse\u2019s scroll wheel upward to turn the volume up, or roll the wheel downward to turn the volume down.<\/span><\/p>\n

A small volume indicator will instantly slide onto the screen, showing the numbers changing, and it will respond immediately. It lets you instantly mute an annoyingly loud video or boost the volume in a fraction of a second, without having to interrupt what you are looking at on the main part of your screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, that trick was one you didn’t already know. It’s good to learn something new every day!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
