Twitter is testing new playback speeds for video content on the platform

Twitter is testing video playback speed options on Android and the web, the company announced Tuesday. This comes as a rather good surprise as there are some of us who absolutely love cranking up the speed of longer videos.

For those that are in the test, it appears that you’ll see a little gear when watching a video that you can click or tap on to access the different speed options. Based on Twitter’s announcement tweet, it looks like you can watch a video at as slow as 0.25x speed or as fast as 2x.

 

 

According to Twitter spokesperson Joseph Nuñez, users will be able to pick your playback speed on “Tweet Videos, Amplify Videos, Voice Tweets, videos in DMs, and Video Live Replays, depending on their platform.” Nuñez also said that Twitter plans to expand the test to iOS in the future.
