Many of you must have watched videos on youtube and most of you might be watching through your computer or laptop. If so then you must have noticed that youtube only allows you to play videos at 2x or 0.25x maximum but sometimes we have to go further than that i.e play video slower than 0.25x or faster than 2x which can't be done by simply changing the settings provided by youtube. This has to be done technically but you don't worry because in this post I'll share with you the simplest trick amongst all for doing the same and the exciting thing is that you can play the video at any speed you can think of it maybe 100x or 200x or even more than that and hence I am here to make this technical step a lot easier for you and I'll do it by guiding you step by step throughout this post. So let's get started.
Follow the below instructions:
Step 1: Copy the code below 👇🏻:
javascript:(function(){var speed = prompt("Speed?");if (speed!==null){document.getElementsByClassName(%27video-stream html5-main-video%27)[0].playbackRate = speed;}})();
Step 2: Open your favorite browser(Chrome browser is recommended). Right-click on the "Bookmarks Bar" and then click on "Add Page"

Step 3: Paste the above-copied code in the "URL" section and name this bookmark whatever you want. (I had named it as Speed Up because I mostly increase the speed of the video and it does its job pretty well) Make sure that "Bookmarks bar" is selected below and then click "Save".
Step 4: Go to the youtube video you want to change speed. After the webpage of that video loads click on the bookmark you've just made(In my case it's named Speed Up) and now enter the speed at which you want to play the video and then hit "OK". Now enjoy the video at the desired speed.
