  2. Go to the Chrome Web Store.
  3. Search for Video Speed Controller.
  4. Click “Add to Chrome” and install the extension.

Step 2: Adjust the Video Speed

  2. The extension will display speed controls on the video.
  3. Use the + or - buttons to increase or decrease speed.
  4. Adjust to 1.5x or 2x speed for faster playback.

Method 2: Using Inspect Element (May Not Work for All Users)

Step 1: Open Developer Tools

  1. Open Edgenuity and start a lesson.
  2. Press F12 or Right Click > Inspect.
  3. Go to the Console tab.

Step 2: Enter Speed Command

  1. Copy and paste the following command:javascriptCopyEdit

document.querySelector(‘video’).playbackRate = 2;

  1. Press Enter, and the video will play at 2x speed.

Note: Some schools may have restrictions that prevent this method.

Method 3: Adjust Browser Settings (For Certain Videos)

  1. Right-click on the video.
  2. If an option appears, select “Playback Speed”.
  3. Choose 1.5x or 2x speed if available.

Important Considerations:

  • Availability: As mentioned, the ability to change video speed is not always available in Edgenuity. It depends on the course design and school settings.
  • Teacher Restrictions: Your teacher may have disabled the speed control feature.
  • Browser Compatibility: Some older browsers might not support the HTML5 video speed controls. Try updating your browser if you’re having trouble.
  • Note-Taking: If you’re speeding up videos for note-taking, be sure to pause frequently to ensure you don’t miss any important information.

Final Thoughts

  • Browser extensions are the easiest and most effective method.
  • Inspect Element may work for some users but is restricted by many schools.
  • Built-in video controls may not be available in all Edgenuity lessons.
