QuickTime Player is the media app offered by Apple on macOS. You can use it to play QuickTime movie files (.mov) along with several other video formats. QuickTime Player also lets you capture screenshots and record videos. If you use macOS and play videos on QuickTime Player, I recommend you learn QuickTime Player keyboard shortcuts. These keyboard shortcuts let you perform several tasks quickly. You can control QuickTime window, playback, and more using different keyboard shortcuts.
In this article, I am listing a list of QuickTime Player keyboard shortcuts.
