Change Video Playback Speed
Quickly change video and audio playback speed
Change Video Playback Speed is a lightweight, open-source extension that cycles through four useful playback speeds: 1x → 1.2x → 1.5x → 2x → 1x Click the extension icon or use the keyboard shortcut to move to the next speed. The selected speed is applied to video and audio on the page, including supported embedded players. The current speed is briefly shown on the page and displayed in the toolbar badge.
You are watching a video, and the player only offers a few playback speeds. You want to get through a long lecture a little faster, slow down a tutorial, or speed up a podcast without digging through menus. Change Video Playback Speed makes it simple.
Click the toolbar button, or press Alt+S (Command+Shift+Period on a Mac), to cycle through four useful speeds: 1x, 1.2x, 1.5x and 2x. The selected speed applies to video and audio on the page, including supported embedded players. A small indicator briefly shows the current speed on the page, even in fullscreen, while the toolbar badge keeps it visible. No popup menus, floating controllers or configuration needed.
I often found myself opening video settings just to change the playback speed, sometimes repeatedly while watching different videos. I wanted something that could do this with a single click or keyboard shortcut, without adding another controller to the screen or making me configure anything.
That idea shaped how the extension works. It doesn't need permanent access to the websites you visit. Playback speed changes happen locally in your browser, only when you ask. There are no analytics, no tracking, no network requests and no collection of browsing history. Something as simple as changing playback speed shouldn't require giving up your privacy.
