With \u201c1\u201d being normal speed, \u201c0.25\u201d is equal to a quarter of the original speed (slowing playback down), and \u201c2\u201d is twice as fast as normal.<\/p>\n<p>If something seems like it\u2019s taking forever\u2014perhaps a long presentation, interview, or podcast where everyone is speaking slowly\u2014you can actually speed it up. Likewise, if you\u2019re watching a tutorial and things are moving too quickly, you can slow the video down so that you can keep up.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube\u2019s playback speed feature doesn\u2019t change the pitch of the video when you speed it up or slow it down. If it did, a person\u2019s voice might sound like a squeaky mouse when fast or like a lumbering giant when slow. Instead, it compresses or expands the audio and video samples to maintain the same audio pitch during playback\u2014so it really just sounds like the same person is talking faster or slower. Music will also play faster or slower without altering the musical key.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_YouTubes_Playback_Speed_on_the_Web\"><\/span>How to Change YouTube\u2019s Playback Speed on the Web<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change playback speed in both a web browser and in the YouTube mobile app for iPhone, Android, and iPad.
