YouTube Speed Hack

See updated post... because...'YouTube'.  

I guess it was just THAT good. Here's the update regarding YouTube videos and adjusting the speed at which they   can be played at.


Hack? In a sense- if taking the Webster Dictionary definition literally, then .. you'd be using it to gain...what once was unattainable(at a faster speed),now attainable(you are able to cram in more in a shorter time.).

If you are using YouTube as a platform to learn- informative videos, educational videos- don't we wish we had a remote to 2x that 1 professor that you just couldn't help to fall asleep to their lectures- eyes heavy... whop wahhh wa wahhh wop waaaaaa- Charlie Brown reference.

Double what knowledge you inject by doing this. In less than 5 seconds, you have doubled your intellectual though rough through... through put. That remote is in your hands...

Maybe, the video is just that slow. Unbearably slow...incredibly slow.. no longer so.

Watching that video, hover the cursor over it which will bring up the controls- one of them looks like a gear. This is the Settings- click on it. A menu fades up and within the options you will find "Playback Speed'. Click on it. You'll be presented with pre set values or a slider for custom speed values- unfortunately 2x being the highest... you can even slow the video down if needed. Maybe there's some really important content that you need to focus on? You can do so by slowing the video...so you don't miss that detail, for...the.... hundredth...time...... but, you want to speed things up here... so 2x that video! 2x that knowledge!

 *I actually found 1.25x to be the sweet spot.
