Speed up or slow down a video

You can speed up or slow down a video on a website by using the playbackRate property of the video element.

This can be very useful for when the website makes it tricky to do this in the UI!

1. Open DevTools.
2. Select the <video> element by either right-clicking on it and choosing Inspect Element or by using the Elements or Inspector tool.
3. Go to the Console tool.
4. Type $0.playbackRate = 2 and press Enter.

This number you choose is the multiplier for the playback speed. So 2 will make the video play twice as fast, 0.5 will make it play at half the speed, etc.
