How to change the playing speed of videos in HTML5?

Question

How to change the video play speed in HTML5? I\'ve checked video tag\'s attributes in w3school but couldn\'t approach that.Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

According to this site, this is supported in the playbackRate and defaultPlaybackRate attributes, accessible via the DOM. Example:

/* play video twice as fast */
document.querySelector('video').defaultPlaybackRate = 2.0;
document.querySelector('video').play();

/* now play three times as fast just for the heck of it */
document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 3.0;

The above works on Chrome 43+, Firefox 20+, IE 9+, Edge 12+.
