playback speed

Video pace adjustment

Playback speed is the rate at which recorded audio or video plays back relative to its original tempo.

At 1x playback speed, content runs in real time; at 2x, it plays twice as fast.

Podcasts and lectures are often consumed at increased playback speed to save time, while slowed playback helps with transcription or analysis.
