YouTube Playback Speed Controller
Slow down tutorials or speed up lectures with a smooth speed slider — plus adjust visual filters at the same time.
Open Speed ControllerWhy Change Playback Speed?
Different content calls for different speeds. Coding tutorials are often easier to follow at 0.75x, while news and podcasts can be consumed faster at 1.5x or 2x. Stream Filter gives you a smooth slider instead of YouTube's limited fixed options.
Speed Settings
How It Works
- Go to streamfilter.tv
- Paste a YouTube URL and click Play
- The Playback Speed slider appears automatically
- Drag to set your preferred speed (0.25x to 2x)
Note: Speed control is currently available for YouTube videos only. Visual filters (brightness, contrast, etc.) work on all platforms.
Combine Speed with Visual Filters
Stream Filter is the only tool that lets you adjust both playback speed and visual appearance at the same time:
- Speed up a lecture + increase brightness for a well-lit, fast review
- Slow down a tutorial + vivid preset for clearer, more colorful step-by-step viewing
- Normal speed + night mode for comfortable late-night watching
