About

Set the default playback speed for specific YouTube videos and channels! Do you like to watch an instructor's videos at a faster pace? Have a favorite song you listen to at a certain speed? Learning a language and like to listen at a slower rate? Now you can set your desired playback speed once and have it applied every time!

1) While watching a YouTube video, click the extension icon.
2) In the panel, choose your preferred playback speed and click 'Save'.
3) Want the speed to apply to all videos from this channel? Check the box before saving. 
4) The speed will update immediately, and the video or channel will be added to your saved list.
5) To remove a video or channel saved speed, click 'Remove'.
6) Clear all local saved data with 'Remove All Data'.
