You could just pause it at the right moment. Have your hand hover over the space bar and it will pause when pressed.

Hi, thanks I am already trying to do it, but some people read faster or slower than others so I need to take this to consideration. Alternatively you can always do what Capitanbadman mentioned above:

On a tablet you have to press the screen and it is rather annoying constantly tapping the screen.

Hey, yes I will. I want to upload all topics
While it is great that you are clearly putting a lot of effort into your revision, I would advise caution to anyone seeking to rely on these notes/videos. While most of it is not entirely wrong, there are some quite significant gaps and some of the concepts are not very clearly explained. There are also a few rather glaring errors.

Hey thank you
Those are only revision videos therefore fully relaying on them won't lead to good grade since I don't include evaluation in them, I might make separate videos for this in future. Also reason why some topics are not explained fully is because of the time, I try to keep those videos reasonably short.
Also what kind of errors did you found? It would help me a lot when I will be updating them, thank you
Taking your notes on assaults as an example, and focusing only on factual errors (not grammar or style etc):
Offences against the person do not necessarily require any injury, for example assault and battery (as you go on to recognise).
- An assault is committed when a person (intentionally or recklessly) causes another to apprehend the immediate infliction of unlawful force, not just that something bad might happen to them. It would not be assault for example if I told them I was about to steal all the money from their bank account, as this would involve no use of force.
- There is also no requirement that my threatening act be unlawful, so long as the force I am threatening to use would be unlawful. It is not unlawful for me to hold a baseball bat above my head, but it is still an assault if another person believes I am about to hit them with it, and that was my intention.
- The final part of the actus reus is that the victim believe that unlawful force will immediately be used against them. It is not sufficient for them to believe that the force will take place at some undefined point in the future. For example, a threat that "I will come and beat you up next week" is not an assault as the threat is not immediate.
- Strictly speaking, while the case law is slighting conflicting on this, I think assault is actually considered a statutory offence - though I would not worry about this point.
These cases are not very clearly explained. In Tuberville v Savage the point was that although a threat was made, it was clear from the rest of what was said that it was not going to be carried out e.g. saying "if there weren't so many people around I'd beat you up". While I have threatened to use unlawful force against you, you cannot apprehend immediate use of force because I have made it clear that I am not going to attack you now.
Introduction
Non-fatal offences against the person is quite self-explanatory; they are offences against a person that don't result in death. It does, however, result in various degrees of injury.

Assault
This is a summary offence under common law. s39 of the Criminal and Justice Act 1988 has given courts the power to fine a maximum of £5000 or a prison sentence of up to six months. The Actus Reus of assault is any unlawful act which leads to the victim’s apprehension that something bad might happen to them.

- Strictly speaking, while the case law is slighting conflicting on this, I think assault is actually considered a statutory offence - though I would not worry about this point.
The acts can exted to.... words, actions or even silent phone calls. Case example - Ireland 1997 Assault occurred by silent phone calls. Assault occurred by silent phone calls. Assault occurred through the fear of violence.
Correct words can also prevent an assault, like saying I will not hurt you. Case example - Tuberville v Savage 1669 Even though the defendant fulfilled the actus reus, his statement was held to remove the threat.

The defendant has to either have the intention to cause another to apprehend the immediate application of unlawful force. Or recklessness, as to whether such apprehension is caused. The defendant must realise that the acts/words could cause another to apprehend unlawful violence.

As a general point of feedback I would also suggest structuring your videos a bit more clearly. If you are covering a particular offence, the clearest way to deal with it is usually to set out the elements of the offence and then go through them one by one. E.g. theft is:
1. dishonest
2. appropriation
3. of property
4. belonging to another
5. with intention to permanently deprive
After that you can deal with possible defences and sentencing

Sorry, hadn't watched your theft video in which you do precisely that!
