Speed Press for Loom

Speed Press is a lightweight interaction pattern for Loom that allows viewers to temporarily speed up video playback by long-pressing a mouse button (or trackpad press). While the mouse button is held down, the video plays at an accelerated speed. When released, playback instantly returns to the original speed. This interaction mirrors the intuitive "press-and-hold to speed up" behavior popularized by platforms like YouTube, enabling users to quickly scrub through less relevant portions of a recording without permanently changing playback speed.
