Meta-owned WhatsApp is introducing a new feature called playback speed for videos, designed to let users view content more efficiently and tailor their viewing experience to suit their preferences.
With this feature, users can watch videos at varying speeds, offering greater flexibility and convenience. Some beta testers already have access to this functionality, which is gradually being rolled out.
To enhance ease of use, the playback speed control is conveniently positioned next to the video progress bar. This placement allows users to adjust the speed seamlessly without disrupting their viewing experience.
The feature provides three playback speed options: normal (1x), 1.5x, and 2.0x, giving users the ability to choose the setting that best meets their needs.
This addition is expected to greatly improve user convenience, particularly for longer videos that might otherwise seem too time-consuming to watch at standard speed. By adjusting the playback speed, users can make more efficient use of their time while still enjoying the content.
Furthermore, this feature is especially beneficial for users with busy schedules who wish to consume video content quickly without missing critical details, making it an ideal solution for those seeking a more personalized and efficient viewing experience.
