📝 Description

Enhance your YouTube viewing experience with a convenient overlay that lets you control playback speed without opening menus! This script adds a small, unobtrusive speed control overlay that appears alongside YouTube's native controls and stays perfectly synced with the platform's built-in speed settings.

✨ Features

  • Quick Speed Control: Adjust playback speed with visible +/− buttons
  • Real-time Display: Shows current playback speed (e.g., 1.25×, 2.00×)
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Use [ to decrease and ] to increase speed
  • Auto-hide: Overlay appears/disappears with YouTube's native controls
  • Perfect Sync: Changes sync with YouTube's settings menu and persist across videos
  • Fullscreen Support: Works seamlessly in both normal and fullscreen modes
  • Increments: Speed adjusts in 0.25× steps (0.25× to 3.00×)
  • Non-intrusive: Small overlay positioned in the bottom-right corner

🚀 Installation

  1. Install a userscript manager:

  2. Install this script:

    • Click the green "Install this script" button on Greasyfork
    • Your userscript manager will open - click "Install"

  3. Watch YouTube videos:

    • Navigate to any YouTube video (youtube.com/watch*)
    • Hover over the video to see the speed control overlay!

🎮 How to Use

Using the Overlay:

  • Hover over the video to reveal YouTube's controls and the speed overlay
  • Click the − button to decrease speed by 0.25×
  • Click the + button to increase speed by 0.25×
  • The center displays your current speed (e.g., 1.50×)

Keyboard Shortcuts:

  • Press [ to decrease playback speed
  • Press ] to increase playback speed

Speed Range:

  • Minimum: 0.25× (quarter speed)
  • Maximum: 3.00× (triple speed)
  • Increments: 0.25× steps

📖 How It Works

The script:

  1. Detects when you're watching a YouTube video
  2. Creates a small overlay with speed controls
  3. Syncs all changes with YouTube's native speed settings
  4. Saves your preferences using YouTube's session storage
  5. Auto-hides when you move your cursor away (just like native controls)
  6. Updates when you change speed through YouTube's settings menu

🔧 Troubleshooting

Overlay not appearing?

  • Make sure you're on a video page (URL contains /watch)
  • Try refreshing the page (F5)
  • Hover over the video to reveal controls

Speed not changing?

  • Check browser console (F12) for any errors
  • Ensure no other speed control extensions are conflicting
  • Try disabling other YouTube-related userscripts temporarily

Keyboard shortcuts not working?

  • Make sure you're not typing in a comment box or search field
  • Click on the video player area first
  • Check if another extension is using the same shortcuts

💡 Tips

  • The overlay automatically appears when you hover over the video
  • Your speed preference is saved and applies to subsequent videos
  • In fullscreen mode, the overlay adjusts its position automatically
  • Works great for watching tutorials, lectures, or any content at your preferred pace
