  • Return the defaultPlaybackRate property:
audioObject.defaultPlaybackRate
  • Set the defaultPlaybackRate property:
audioObject.defaultPlaybackRate = number

Property Values:

  1. Number: It is used to specify the default playback speed of the video. The available options are:
    • 1.0 is normal speed.
    • 0.5 is half speed.
    • 2.0 is double speed.
    • -1.0 is backwards, normal speed.
    • -0.5 is backwards, half speed.
