About PlaySpeed
# Chrome Web Store Listing — PlaySpeed
---
## Short Description
Force any HTML video or audio player to play at your chosen speed. Exclude specific sites.
---
## Detailed Description
PlaySpeed gives you full control over HTML5 video and audio playback speed on any website. Whether you want to speed through lectures at 2x, slow down tutorials to 0.5x, or push media to 16x, PlaySpeed makes it instant.
### Features
- **Adjustable speed 0.25x–16x** — fine-tune with +/- 0.25-step buttons
- **Preset buttons** — one-click speeds: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5
- **Site exclusions** — exclude specific hostnames so PlaySpeed leaves them alone
- **Works everywhere** — applies to all `<video>` and `<audio>` elements on any page
- **Dynamic content** — detects media added after page load (SPAs, infinite scroll, client-side navigation)
- **Override-resistant** — re-applies your speed if a website script attempts to change it
- **Persistent settings** — your speed preference and exclusion list are saved across sessions
- **Dark-themed UI** — easy on the eyes, matches modern browser aesthetics
### How to use
1. Click the PlaySpeed icon in the Chrome toolbar
2. Select a preset speed or use the +/- buttons to fine-tune
3. Speed applies instantly to all videos and audio on the current page
To exclude a site, open the popup and click "Exclude this site." Manage all exclusions on the dedicated options page.
### Permissions
PlaySpeed uses only the permissions it needs:
- **storage** — saves your speed preference and exclusion list locally
- **activeTab** — communicates with the content script on the current page
- **<all_urls>** — injects a content script to detect and control media elements on all web pages. No page content is collected or transmitted.
### Privacy
PlaySpeed does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All settings are stored locally in your browser. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party services.
