Last month, YouTube announced a host of new features. After the new miniplayer and settings revamp, YouTube is rolling out the fine-tunable redesign of playback speed controls in the Android and iOS app.
Previously, Playback speed opened up a tall sheet of increments that almost took up half your screen: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, Normal, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, and 2x. (That UI is used by the sleep timer.)
Now, it’s now a much shorter UI at the very bottom of your display that’s easier to reach. The bottom row gives you five preset increments housed in pill-shaped containers: 0.25, 1.0 (Normal), 1.25, 1.5, and 2.0.
The big addition is a slider that you can adjust in .5 increments by dragging, or using the ‘plus’ and ‘minus’ buttons. The current increment is noted above.
window.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];
adSlotsConfig.push( {
slotID: ‘/1049447/Outbrain’,
slotName: ‘div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-648984’,
sizes: [300, 250],
slotPosition: ‘mid_article’
} );
We’re seeing this redesign of playback speed today as a server-side update with version 19.43 of YouTube for Android and 19.44 for iOS.
