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.
