Play Youtube videos in finer slow or faster playback speed

The online Youtube video player has playback speed option to choose, you can easily change the video playback speed. Youtube allows you to watch a video in slow playback speed and watch the more frames details or, even you can increase the playback speed to watch the video in faster motion rate in case you feel that the video is boring and fly through the video by 2x playback speed.

You can play Youtube video in slow motion or increased playback speed.

If you don't see the playback speed changing option in your Youtube video player, you are likely utilizing the default Flash based video player. To use the speed changing option on Youtube video player go to youtube.com/html5 and pick the HTML5 Youtube player.

Watch Youtube video in Slow-Motion or Fast-Motion

In case the Youtube still didn't show the option to control the playback speed for a specific video, or in case that you wish to have better control over the speed, you can simply utilize the great old VLC Player to watch any video on Youtube (or Vimeo) with finer control on speed in either slow motion or fast motion.
