Video speed

[The Great Khan]

Hi all,

Is there any way to speed up the video to 1.5x or 2x speed? This is usually how I like to watch training videos but I don't see any option for that on the videos.

Hello Great Khan (I like your name! )

Currently you cannot speed up the videos, as it is not a native feature of wistia (our video host). I do appreciate the request: I view most of my Coursera vidoes at 1.5x, too. So I am going to enter a maintenance ticket-request to our developers. A quick search shows the availability of plug-ins such that it appears this might be a feature we can add with relative easy (but I don't know yet). I will mark the thread and update when we ascertain. So, the answer is "no, you can't. Sorry ." But, I agree it would be a useful feature so let me see if we can add it ... Thanks!

Hi David,

I was able to solve this issue by downloading the video and playing it using VLC Media Player, which can accomplish what I am looking for. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
