Speed Up Online Lectures — Udemy, Coursera, Khan Academy & More
Most online learning platforms cap playback speed at 2x. Video Speeder takes you to 4x — saving hours every week on lectures, tutorials, and courses.
Why 2x Isn't Fast Enough for Lectures
Platforms like Udemy, Coursera, Khan Academy, LinkedIn Learning, and Skillshare typically cap playback speed at 2x. But when you're reviewing material you already know, or getting through a verbose instructor, 2x still feels slow. Video Speeder lets you push to 3x or 4x — and slow back down when the content gets dense.
Save Real Time
A 1-hour lecture at 2x takes 30 minutes. At 3x, 20 minutes. At 4x, just 15 minutes. Over a semester with hundreds of hours of lectures, Video Speeder can save you tens of hours — time you can spend actually studying or taking breaks.
Works on Every Learning Platform
Video Speeder works on Udemy, Coursera, edX, Khan Academy, LinkedIn Learning, Skillshare, Codecademy, Pluralsight, Panopto, Kaltura, Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle — and any other platform that uses HTML5 video. If it plays in your browser, Video Speeder can control its speed.
Customizable for Your Study Style
Use Ctrl+Shift+Right to speed up and Ctrl+Shift+Left to slow down, all customizable to your preferred keys. The slider popup gives you precise control, and preset buttons let you jump between speeds instantly.
