Rewinding YouTube videos: How to set the speed on the go
Until now, you could only play YouTube video more slowly on a PC - or even faster. Now the option is also available in the YouTube app. That's how it works:
- Start the YouTube app on your smartphone and play the desired video.
- In the top right corner you will find the menu. It is characterized by three points lying one below the other.
- If you tap the menu, the individual menu items appear, including the "Playback speed" function.
- Tap on it to display the different options.
- If you select a value above "Normal" on the display, playback is slowed down. You can reduce the speed to 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 times.
- If the value is below "Normal", the video will play faster. Here you can choose from 1.25, 1.5 and 2 times the normal playback speed.
