About Video Speed Controller – Playback Speed for Any Video

Video speed controller: speed up or slow down any video — with hotkeys, on any site Every player hides its speed setting somewhere different, and many have none at all. Video Speed App puts one control on every HTML5 video: press a key or click the pill over the player, and the video runs at the speed you want — on video hosting, online courses, webinars, news sites and your own local files. ⚡ ANY SPEED, NOT JUST THE PRESETS • From 0.1x to 16x, in steps you choose yourself • Quick speeds in one tap: 0.5x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x — edit the list to taste • A slider for fine tuning, or type an exact value like 1.35x • Voices stay natural at high speed — no chipmunk effect ⌨️ HOTKEYS THAT WORK EVERYWHERE • D — faster, S — slower, R — back to normal and back again • X and Z — skip forward and back by your own number of seconds • Remap any key and change the steps if a site needs it • The same keys on every site, so you stop hunting through player menus 📌 THE SPEED IS REMEMBERED • Pin a site: "always 1.5x here", and every video there opens at 1.5x • Or let the extension remember the speed you last used, site by site • A default speed for everything else • The current speed is on the extension icon, so you can see it at a glance ⏱️ HOW LONG IS LEFT, REALLY • The controller shows the time remaining recalculated for the current speed • An hour of video at 1.5x is 40 minutes — and that is what you see 🎛️ THE CONTROLLER, YOUR WAY • A compact pill that stays out of the way and opens when you point at it • Drag it anywhere over the player; it stays there for that site • Or hide it completely and use the hotkeys alone • An exceptions list for sites where the extension should not appear ▶️ HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the extension and open any page with a video 2. Press D to speed up or S to slow down — or click the pill over the player 3. Press R to drop back to normal speed, and R again to return to your speed 4. Open the toolbar popup for quick speeds, the slider and per-site settings FOR LECTURES, COURSES AND LONG TALKS Watch a recorded lecture at 1.5x and take back twenty minutes of every hour. Slow a tutorial to 0.5x to catch a step, replay a sports move frame by frame, or work through a foreign-language clip at a pace you can follow. 🔒 PRIVACY The extension works inside your browser. It does not collect your browsing history, does not send video data anywhere, and needs no account. Free, with no ads.
