YouTube&#8217;s playback speed feature lets you choose your preferred speed. If you&#8217;d prefer a 3x speed, press ctrl+c and the video will play at three times the normal speed. Note that the pitch will remain unchanged. To use this feature, you must be using an Internet browser with a high-speed connection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_playback_speed_feature_allows_users_to_increase_video_playback_speed\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s playback speed feature allows users to increase video playback speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Increasing the speed of a video is a common request from YouTube viewers. The increased speed helps those with shorter attention spans consume content more quickly. YouTube&#8217;s playback speed feature can increase video playback speeds by up to two times. In addition to making the video playback faster, the audio pitch stays fairly normal and does not become distorted. By increasing the speed of a video, users can also prevent the sound of a squeaky voice.<\/p>\n<p>To increase the video playback speed, all you need to do is go into the YouTube app and tap on the video. Tap on the video or hover the mouse over it to show the playback speed controller. From there, you can select an option to increase or decrease the speed of the video. YouTube also provides a mobile version of the app. To access the speed control on a mobile device, go to Settings &gt; More.<\/p>\n<p>You can also increase the video&#8217;s speed on a computer. To speed up the playback speed of a video on a mobile device, you&#8217;ll need the YouTube app installed on your device. To get this feature, download the YouTube app for iPhone, iPad, or Android and install it. Tap the three-dot menu button at the top right corner of the video. Select Playback speed and select your preferred rate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Third-party_browser_extensions_and_video_accelerators_can_speed_up_YouTube_videos\"><\/span>Third-party browser extensions and video accelerators can speed up YouTube videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to make YouTube faster is to download a video accelerator or a third-party browser extension. YouTube videos are often locked at their original playback speed if they are hosted on YouTube&#8217;s servers. This means that YouTube has more control over the way they deliver their content. Third-party video accelerators and browser extensions can speed up YouTube videos by enabling or disabling these features.<\/p>\n<p>Many mainstream video-sharing websites now offer acceleration features. YouTube, Dailymotion, and Twitch have built-in acceleration options, usually found in the playback window settings. Some mobile apps even let you change the speed of the video in real time. Regardless of which method you use, though, you will find that YouTube videos can only be accelerated up to two times faster if they are hosted on a slow server.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to native video speed controllers, there are third-party browser extensions and video accelerators that can dramatically increase the speed of YouTube videos. For Chrome, for example, the Internet Download Manager (IDM) extension intercepts download links on sites, and speeds up the download process using its Dynamic Segmentation technology. While this extension is useful for downloading videos from YouTube and other popular content platforms, it&#8217;s best used on desktop computers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_playback_speed_feature_doesnt_change_the_pitch_of_the_video\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s playback speed feature doesn&#8217;t change the pitch of the video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s playback speed feature allows you to select between 0.25 and two times normal speed. It does not affect the pitch of the video, however. By compressing or expanding audio samples, you can play music at a faster speed without affecting the key. This feature is available on the web browser as well as the YouTube mobile app. To use this feature, simply play the video and click the OFF or ON button. Next, move the red slider to the desired speed.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many similar features on other websites, YouTube&#8217;s playback speed feature doesn&#8221;t affect the pitch of the video. To change the speed of the video, click the gear icon on the lower right corner of the playback bar. This will reveal a menu that offers several options. Select the option that controls the speed of playback, and then select a speed between 0.25x and 2x. Once you&#8217;ve made your selection, the video will continue playing at the speed you selected.<\/p>\n<p>Although YouTube&#8217;s playback speed feature doesn&#8221;t change the pitch of the video, it does affect the audio pitch. Audio pitches depend on the speed at which the video was recorded. Increasing speed will increase the pitch, while decreasing speed will lower it. If you don&#8217;t want to change the pitch, you can adjust the speed manually or use YouTube&#8217;s playback speed feature.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/chiKi95j9UM\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"196\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Watch YouTube Videos at 3x Speed If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to watch YouTube videos at an increased speed, read on.
