About HoverSpeed
Watch YouTube your way.
Hover Speed lets you temporarily change playback speed only when you want.
Set your preferred hover speed, then simply hover over the on-screen button to speed up or slow down the video. Move your mouse away and playback instantly returns to normal.
It’s perfect for skipping over non-essential moments, commentary, or rewatching details at a slower pace, without touching YouTube’s speed controls or losing your place.
