Universal Video Speed Controller popup and video speed controls

Everything in one control layer

Fast controls without visual noise.

Designed for people who watch lectures, tutorials, livestreams, sports, product demos, and long-form video across the web.

Precise speed presets

Move from 0.25x to 10x, nudge by 0.25x, or jump directly to common speeds from the popup.

Keyboard, wheel, and pinch

Use editable shortcuts, Ctrl + mouse wheel, or pinch in / pinch out gestures on supported touchpads.

Smart memory

Remember speeds globally, per website, or per YouTube channel so each player opens where you expect.

Quiet fullscreen feedback

A restrained overlay confirms speed changes without pulling you out of the video.

Screenshots

A complete interface for serious playback control.

Precise speed control popup with browser preview

Popup speed control

Large speed readout, one-click presets, press-and-hold adjustments, and current video context in one focused popup.

Shortcut and gesture controls

Shortcut manager

Editable shortcuts, conflict checks, boost mode, mouse wheel support, and pinch gesture control.

Site rules and smart settings

Rules and settings

Per-site rules, memory modes, access gating, overlay preferences, startup speed, and native-control behavior.

Local playback insights and analytics

Local insights

See time saved, most-used speeds, daily usage, and session averages without sending data anywhere.

Floating speed overlay inside a video

Fullscreen overlay

Speed changes stay visible and readable while the interface remains calm and unobtrusive.

Site rules

Use different speeds on different sites.

Keep global defaults simple, then override behavior for specific domains or YouTube channels. Access rules let you allow all sites, limit the extension to approved domains, or block specific domains.

Global memoryUse your last preferred speed everywhere.
Per websiteRemember speeds by domain.
Per channelKeep YouTube channels independent.
Native controlsOverride or sync with site speed menus.

Default controls

Shortcuts that stay out of your way.

Every shortcut can be changed from the popup, and the extension avoids firing while you type in comments, search boxes, or editable fields.
