In this article, we will see how we can change the playback speed of videos embedded in an HTML document using an HTML5 video tag.
We can set the new playing speed using playbackRate attribute. It has the following syntax.
Syntax:
let video = document.querySelector('video')
video.playbackRate = newPlaybackRate
We can also set the default playing speed using defaultPlaybackRate attribute. It has the following syntax.
Syntax:
let video = document.querySelector('video')
video.defaultPlaybackRate = 4
video.load()
