Following Android and iOS last month, the YouTube website now offers fine-tunable (“Custom”) playback speed.
In the YouTube video player > settings gear > Playback speed menu, “Custom” is now the first time. You can adjust in .05x increments from .25 to 2.00 thanks to a new slider. Your choice persists across videos watched during a YouTube session.
These fine-grained controls match what’s available on Android and iOS, with the same slider design leveraged. The past list of increments remain underneath: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, Normal, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2.0.
This menu now looks a bit busy with this change, but it works and is familiar enough.
