Watching videos at 1.5x or 2x helps.
YouTube allows speed-up up to 2x. 1.5x is great when you have to listen to spoken text not available otherwise.
Could you want it at a faster speed (maybe 1.5x)? That should cut down your viewing time. Similar to the idea of listening to podcasts at a faster speed.
I wish they'd give you more than 2x speed in the web player. Lots of videos seem to talk extra slowly to drag things out to the point 2x speed sounds like normal conversational speed.
Youtube lets me watch at 1.5 to 2x speed.
That's what youtube 1.5x / 2x speedup is for ;-)
I can only watch videos on 1.5 to 2x speed now. Thanks god youtube added this feature as well or I'd go crazy.
Is it possible to increase playback speed?
I watch a lot of content at 1.5-2X speed
feature request: Ability to change playback speed. Eg 0.5x, 1.5x, 2x
