Speed up videos and change playback speed on any website — even sites that block speed changes. Play Faster is a free video speed controller for Chrome that lets you set any speed from 0.1x to 64x on any site with video or audio. WHAT'S NEW • A-B segment loop — in the overlay, press A to mark a start, B to mark an end, C to clear. The video loops your range automatically. • YouTube ad muter — automatically mutes ads and restores volume when they end • Pitch preservation — audio stays natural at any speed, even past 2x • Max speed raised to 64x — the fastest default ceiling of any speed controller • Hold Shift with arrow keys or scroll for large step adjustments • Per-site speed memory — each domain remembers its own playback speed • Smarter keyboard shortcut detection — stays silent in text fields, Shadow DOM inputs, and rich-text editors WHY PLAY FASTER? Most video speed controllers stop working when a site enforces a speed limit. Play Faster bypasses those limits by spoofing the playback rate — the site thinks you're at 2x while you're actually at 4x, 8x, or higher. No page reloads, no warnings, no detection. WORKS ON EVERY WEBSITE Any page with HTML5 video or audio — streaming sites, e-learning platforms, training portals, podcasts, and more. If it plays in your browser, Play Faster can speed it up.

Click the Play Faster icon on any page with video or audio 2. Set your speed with buttons, scroll wheel, or type a value 3. Done — your speed saves automatically for next time PERFECT FOR 🎓 Watching training videos and compliance courses faster 📺 Speeding up online lectures and tutorials 🚀 Pushing past the 2x speed cap on e-learning platforms 🌍 Slowing down videos for language learning or transcription 🎬 Reviewing your own footage or recordings at high speed 🎧 Listening to podcasts and audiobooks faster PRIVACY — NO DATA COLLECTION 🔒 No tracking, no analytics, no accounts 💻 Your speed settings are stored locally on your device 🚫 Nothing is ever sent to any server Play Faster is the fastest, most reliable video speed controller for Chrome.
