How to Speed Up Playback on Netflix - Lifehacker

In a move destined to launch an internet micro-controversy the likes of which we haven’t seen since some people tried to tell other people not to listen to their podcasts at 1.5x speed, Netflix recently announced that it will now let people control the playback speed of its content.

Before you jump into the comments to argue, here’s what you need to do to adjust playback speed on Android—and instructions for a browser plugin you can use to do so while you wait for the feature to roll out to you if you don’t have access yet.

Netflix has made it very easy to control playback speed, with the caveat that you’ll have to choose if you want to go slower or faster manually each time you start a new film or TV show; unlike many audiobook or podcast apps, you cannot enable a modified playback speed by default1

From the pop-up menu, choose your preferred playback speed3

If you access Netflix through the web, there’s no need to wait for a browser extension to give you control over your playback speed—you can accomplish it via browser plugins.

Here you can adjust which keyboard inputs will speed up or slow down playback, or preset preferred speeds you can enable with a single keystroke.

Access Netflix via the same browser, select a program to watch and control the playback speed by tapping the requisite keys you mapped to various functions in the step above.

Note that Video Speed Controller will actually work with any HTML5 video, not just Netflix—which means you can also speed up YouTube, Hulu, HBO Max and more.
