New YouTube Feature Lets Users Watch at 2x Speed—But There’s a Catch

Playing videos on YouTube at 2x speed has been available for quite some time now, but this new feature is under its testing so that users may access speed rates in just one click. This is under YouTube's experiments page and it would be available until August 13 for the public to try, but it is unknown if the streaming platform would add this feature permanently for videos.

Instead of going through a series of clicks before accessing YouTube videos' playback speed options, this feature simplifies all the necessary steps and speed watching the online content available.
