Description from extension meta

Speed up, slow down, advance and rewind HTML5 audio/video with shortcuts

Image from store Video Speed Controller
Description from store HTML5 video provides native APIs to accelerate playback of any video, but most implemented players either hide or limit this functionality. This extension fixes that, plus more... It will help you optimize your video viewing by allowing you to make quick playback speed adjustments, as well as rewind the video to hear the last few second one more time. We don't read at a constant speed, and we talk much slower than we read - there is no reason why we have to listen at a constant speed and at a (very) slow rate. Once the extension is installed simply navigate to any page that offers HTML5 video, and you'll see a speed indicator in top left corner of the video player. Hover over the indicator to reveal the controls to accelerate, slowdown, or rewind the video (10 seconds + lowers playback speed). Or, even better, use your keyboard: - S - decrease playback speed. - D - increase playback speed. - R - reset playback speed. - Z - rewind video by 10 seconds. - X - advance video by 10 seconds. - V - show/hide controller. If you prefer other shortcuts, want to change the increment value, or want the player to remember your playback speed in the future, head into the settings page and customize it to your heart's content.

  • (2025-08-04) KirK Lazarus: On many sites, videos start playing at 0.07x speed, and even when moving forward or backward, the speed automatically resets to 0.07x. Latest update ruined it.
  • (2025-08-03) George Yu: The most recent versions, 0.9.1 and 0.9.2, are extremely buggy. To revert back to version 0.7.4 when everything was working fine, follow the instructions in this link: https://github.com/igrigorik/videospeed/issues/1257#issuecomment-3140619025 Ilya Grigorik/igrigorik, please revert back to version 0.7.4. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Thank you.
  • (2025-08-02) Jenifer Purnomo: Doesn't work on Indonesia's Disney+ Hotstar
  • (2025-08-01) 藤沢はると: Recent updates have caused issues with how it works on YouTube. Even though I've set a different playback speed on YouTube, when I open a new video, it resets to 1.0x speed. This didn't happen in previous versions.
  • (2025-08-01) Moshe Rubin: Latest update breaks Smartsheet. Please roll back
  • (2025-08-01) Connor Byers: Another once great extension that has turned into MalWare.... per ActiveCampaigns support "Thanks for your patience. I have heard back from our Technical team regarding this. The code possibly appears from someone from your team accessing the editor that is running an extension on their device that is injecting the code into the campaign's HTML. They have pointed out because it shows something like ... src="chrome-extension://nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk/... If you search online for nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk, you will see that it is an extension called "Video Speed Controller.""
  • (2025-08-01) Divakar Sharma: This is gem.
  • (2025-08-01) Huy Dao: Please fix 0.07x issue
  • (2025-07-31) qiang bi: can not save setting!
  • (2025-07-31) Martin Bligh: Worked great until the last day or so (0.9.2). Now starts at 0.07x in Plex, and "forgets" speed setting in youtube whenever switching resolution or videos. Please rollback latest release to the previous working one.
  • (2025-07-31) Jordan Kirlin: doesn't work
  • (2025-07-30) Omar Kasem: Please fix 0.07x issue where it happens
  • (2025-07-30) Hezron: the recent update has made this wonderful extension a nightmare. now suddenly, clicking on left or right arrows or random keys on the keyboard increases/decreases the speed and i don't have it set that way. i dont know if its because of manifestv3 or what, but find a way to fix it 🙏🏻
  • (2025-07-30) Noah Weidler: The speed display is showing up completely, or gone completely, no matter how I change the setting. The few times it does show up it does so a few moments after the video UI does.
  • (2025-07-30) 영웅임: 0.07x fix
  • (2025-07-30) Armaan Singh: This extension was good before the recent update. Devs, please fix this: If you hold down space or LMB to speed up a video using the default controls on YouTube, the display on the top left will still show 2.00 even after you let go of the button. Then, if you rewind or advance the video using the arrow keys, it will go to 2X speed and you have to press "R" to reset it. It was all fine before this update. On top of this, I added "youtube.com" and "www.youtube.com" to the blocked websites list, but it doesn't work, but that could be my own error. Rating 1 star in hopes of grabbing the attention of the devs.
  • (2025-07-29) Serhii: QA much? Update broke all the settings and defaults are weird. 0.05 step is also unavailable now, it resets to 0.1.
  • (2025-07-28) Brandon Johnson: i literally tried to move one of the playback speed on the video player settings for Youtube, but the Speed stays the Same, way to ruin the Extension, do something right and FIX IT!!!!!!!!!
  • (2025-07-28) Kryštof: I love this addon but it seems that the developer dosent test it before release. First it didnt work and after the dev rolled back the update he now pushed it again with a new problem that video always starts palying at 0.07. What are you doing man? I get that development isnt ease becouse I myself am developer but these problems arent obviously exceptions becouse so many people report them. So it really seems like you dont test the extension at all.
  • (2025-07-28) S. G.: Awesome Addon. But since today it always starts at 0.07 when opening a new Video
  • (2025-07-28) レオンジャッキー: I use your app regularly. Recently, when I'm using it with YouTube, the playback speed has been increasing by itself. This seems to happen especially when Shorts are on repeat.
  • (2025-07-27) Noa DeNova: use it all day every day!
  • (2025-07-23) Kiel: This prevents dailymotion streams from working, the news agency in my region exclusively uses them and i had to disable all my extensions one by one until i determined it is this app.
  • (2025-07-23) Amadou Condé: There are now two controllers appearing in the sceen, one of which won't disappear no matter if you check hide or not, it's suck
  • (2025-07-22) Guy Cohen: Very useful, easy to use, lightweight, non-intrusive, not bloated with tons of unneeded features, and simply gets the job done without getting in your way.
  • (2025-07-20) Kilian Krill: The most useful chrome extension, and its not even close. Speed up Advertisments, Lectures, whatever you want. It works perfect, never once a bug or anything, now they even reworked the already perfectly functioning UI. And its all for free. What a time to be alive
  • (2025-07-19) Punched: Stopped working after the most recent update.
  • (2025-07-18) Guy Cohen: Ever since I first installed this extension two years ago, I haven't been able to imagine watching videos online without it. It's been a total lifesaver. I left a very positive review back in October 2023 (see my original review below). However, in recent days, following the July 2025 update - the extension stopped working altogether in TONS of websites, in all of which it used to work perfectly fine before the latest update. It also ceased to work on audio (e.g. I can no longer speed up ChatGPT's text narrator). This is extremely frustrating, as it massively downgrades my browsing experience. I'm changing my rating to 1 star just so developers notice my feedback (apparently, I'm not the only one who faces such issues since the latest update). PLEASE UNDO THE LATEST UPDATE, TO MAKE THIS AMAZING EXTENSION USABLE AGAIN. I will be happy to change my rating back to 5 stars when it's fixed. ------- My original review (Oct 11, 2023): Very useful, easy to use, lightweight, non-intrusive, not bloated with tons of unneeded features, and simply gets the job done without getting in your way.
  • (2025-07-18) Edvard A Jensen: Works fantastic - love the shortcut editing But today 18/07/2025 it stop showing altogether on some sites - please check/fix the latest update!
  • (2025-07-18) winner Steadyness: It was working fine 2 days ago, but today suddenly the video speed controller is not applied to the video coming from JWplayer.
  • (2025-07-18) Daniel Szabo: controller dont show up in crunchyroll anymore
  • (2025-07-18) Blave Solomon: Used to work nearly perfectly. After most recent update, no longer works on ANY site I used it on before. Please fix!!!
  • (2025-07-18) DDMSakb48: Currently, not working on sites like spotify, only working on Youtube Hope it gets fixed

  • (2025-07-13) Mohamed Magdy: great! one of the best extensions i have
  • (2025-07-10) Alt Huang: It's very useful in a lot of stuff and the skip part can skip ads, and its possible to do it in a way to not be detected as a ad blocker epik
  • (2025-07-09) frank liu: nice extension
  • (2025-07-09) Ej Pineda: wait if ur seeing this do ya get a notif on malwarebytes about an malware called click.videocontrolls.com (well this is not the same malware this is very safe but the other extension)
  • (2025-07-09) TechSpaces: Works well, and best of all, it doesn't spy on you (I'm looking at you, gaiceihehajjahakcglkhmdbbdclbnlf)
  • (2025-07-08) Hammad Ansari: This is the one of the best speed controller for videos. Love this because of the simple design and appearance. Come very handy during exam times to watch a ton of videos in shorter time. Allowing me for more efficiency without missing any detail.
  • (2025-07-08) Jorge Caceres: It is an excellent extension... very useful to me to speed up videos almost in any platform.
  • (2025-07-07) Isaac King: This extension is changing the layout of pages even when there's no video anywhere on them, adding unnecessary scrollbars that don't exist when I disable the extension.
  • (2025-06-30) Andrei Made: Very helpful to watch youtube own my custom own pace beyond the limited settings of video players, even some episodes i do not need to watch in detail, just to get the gist.
  • (2025-06-26) Rishmitha Sai Manne: Great extension. Helped me go through many learning modules. But the speed keeps resetting to x1.0 every time an add plays.
