On a related note, I wish Youtube had an option to play a video faster than 2X (other then downloading the video to play in a local viewer like VLC).
Even as a sighted individual, listening to conference talks at high speed is convenient (and you can still pause if you want to look deeper into something).
- chrisa 9y agoThere's a chrome plugin called video speed controller that can speed up any html5 video (including YouTube, vimeo, etc) to whatever speed you want. It's great!
- phonon 9y agoYup! Shortcuts in it are super handy. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-controller/nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-contro...
- 4lun 9y agoI have the same wish. Though not ideal, you can work around it in the console quite easily: document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 3
- icebraining 9y agoJust create a bookmark with that code prefixed by "javascript:", then it becomes 1-click to activate: javascript:(function(){document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 3;})();
- SwellJoe 9y agoYeah, I love the speed option on Youtube, but it often could go faster. Though I usually end up watching at 1.5x because when I'm watching coding tutorial videos, I can't type fast enough and also process what I'm hearing/seeing to be able to keep up at 2x. I tried understanding the reader in the article and found I could only catch about every third or fourth word, even though I do often watch videos at 2x (and I did actually used to use VLC for speeding up videos in the pre-YouTube speed option days). I'd need a lot more practice to grok speech at that speed.
