How to speed up viewing of any video twice

If you get bored watching the video, speed up playback. It will be fun to watch, but at the same time and save time.

Video - is the most vivid and interesting format for training videos, lectures and master classes. But not all of them need to be viewed with full concentration.

Sometimes we just need to learn the steps in the repair, or to quickly freshen any recipe in memory. In this case, it is best to scroll through the movie at high speed to save your time.

Several Twitter users of the service have come up with a simple way to quickly increase browsing speed. One of them, hiding under the name Bouke, suggested simply inserting a certain command in the browser console:

document.querySelector ( 'video'). playbackRate = 2.0

#chrome protip; Speed ​​up the video on any webpage by pasting the following in console:. Document.querySelector ( 'video') playbackRate = 2.0

Other users in the comments to this tweet noted that it is too difficult, it is much more convenient to use a special bookmarklet. It can be used to accelerate the playback of just a single click.

To install the bookmarklet, follow these steps.

1. 1. Save any page in the browser bookmarks. Her name and address do not matter: we have them all the same has now changed.
      
   2. Give any new tab name and address (URL) field, enter the following code.

      javascript: (function () {. document.querySelector ( 'video') playbackRate = 2.0;}) ();

      
   3. Save the changed bookmark. Now it is a bookmarklet.

Now, every time when watching video feel that the plot somewhat tightened and you get bored, click on this tab, and the playback speed of video will be twice as fast.

Skeptics will note that YouTube has built-in function of the rate of change. Yes, it is true, but this bookmarklet does the same thing much faster and more convenient. In addition, it applies even to those commercials where such a possibility is not provided by the developers. For example, in a video posted when Vimeo.
