About Speedy Video
Fine-grained playback speed control for video, on the sites you choose.
Speed up or slow down in 0.25x steps with a keystroke, jump straight to 1x, 2x or 3x, and skip or rewind without reaching for the mouse. Every change shows the new speed in a small overlay on the video, in fullscreen too, and the speed you chose carries from one video to the next until you change it. If you like, it also remembers the speed for next time, for each site or everywhere.
It controls whichever video is actually playing, so scrolling feeds, stories and short-form videos work without any fiddling, and it reaches players embedded inside other pages.
⌨️ Shortcuts — w/q for ±0.25x, a/s/d for 1x/2x/3x, z shows the current speed
⏩ Skip and rewind — shift + ←/→ for 2 seconds, shift + ↑/↓ for 10 seconds
👀 Speed overlay — on the video whenever the speed changes, also in fullscreen
🎯 Follows the playing video — it drives what you are watching, not whatever the page loaded first
🌐 Runs only where you turn it on — click the toolbar icon to turn it on for the site you are on, or for all sites, and Chrome asks for your OK; the options page turns on the usual video sites (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video…) in one go
🚦 Shows where it runs — the toolbar icon is in color on the sites it is on, with the current speed when it isn't 1x
⚙️ Make it yours — change the keys, the speed step (0.05x to 1x), the slowest and fastest speeds, add or remove presets, and set how far it skips and how long the overlay stays; your settings follow you to other computers through Chrome sync
⚡ Stays out of the way — no network access, never touches what you type in text fields, and adds nothing to the page but the speed overlay
🔒 Nothing collected — no analytics, and the extension sends no data anywhere
