This lightweight extension adds granular playback speeds from 0.25x to 16x directly into your native settings menu. Perfect for power-learners who need to watch lots of lectures or analysts who need frame-by-frame precision.

16x speed? :D that's a different level. I noticed they introduced 4x. But not so sure how 16x... but... yeah, Gen Z probably needs that :D
@busmark_w_nika Not Gen Z, but regularly playing on faster speeds.... Is that this famous deterioration of our attention span and patience? :-D

@matt_rewo To be honest, I started watching some things at 2x pace, my brain is grilled :D This is what happens when you keep watching shortform.

@busmark_w_nika Thanks for the feedback! 16x is definitely geared toward power users and fast paced learnings. Glad you noticed the difference!🔥

@anukarop I think that 16x is more suitable for some very long videos on youtube, like 2 hours.

@busmark_w_nika Yeah, that's right!
Congrats on the launch! Love how this makes true 16x native-style control finally feel built-in for power learners and analysts.

@zeiki_yu Thanks for the support! ⚡ That built-in feel was our main goal for power learners. Glad you're find it useful!
Love that this lives inside YouTube’s native controls instead of adding floating UI. That detail alone makes it feel polished and intentional.

@arslan_ali24 Exactly! We wanted to avoid the clutter of floating UIs. Glad the native integration feels amazing to you. Thanks!❤️
This is super clean. Curious though—how does audio intelligibility hold up past ~4x, especially for non native speakers or dense technical content?
Youtube Custom Playback
@tracey_glen Great ques! Past 4x, audio becomes very challenging for speech, so it’s mostly used for visual review or skimming familiar content. Appreciate the feedback!
I’ve tried other speed-control extensions, but most feel hacky or break when YouTube updates its UI. The native menu approach feels much more future proof.

@jacksonoscar Glad you like the approach!
I want to ask that this was built by someone who uses YouTube as a work tool, not just for entertainment. Small pain, solid solve.

@sadam_ansari2 This was definitely built for people who use YouTube as a productivity tool. Glad to see it's solving that pain point for you. ❤️
