Tsveta, a passionate technology enthusiast and accomplished playwright, combines her love for mobile technologies and writing to explore and reveal the transformative power of tech.

Ever find yourself wishing you could speed up a YouTube video to just the right pace? While preset options were handy, they didn’t always hit the sweet spot. Now, YouTube’s new web feature lets you fine-tune playback speed to your liking with a slider.

In the video player, head to Settings > Playback speed, and you’ll notice a new Custom option right at the top. The slider lets you tweak the speed in 0.05x increments, anywhere from 0.25x to 2.0x, giving you way more control over how you watch videos.Your custom speed sticks around for the rest of your YouTube session, so keep that in mind. This new feature matches what’s already available on Android and iOS, using the same slider design.

Adding the playback speed slider to the web makes YouTube feel much more in sync across all platforms. It fills a gap that’s been missing and gives users the flexibility they didn’t have before. Whether you’re learning a language, diving into an online course, or just tweaking the pace of your favorite videos, this feature is pretty handy.
