SpeedPilot

How it works

Three steps. No account, no setup wizard.

Install the extension, open a page with a video or audio player, and control it β€” from the popup, the on-video controller, or your keyboard.

How it works

01

Install

Add SpeedPilot to Chrome or Edge β€” it does nothing until a page actually has media on it.

02

Open a video

Visit any site with standard HTML5 video or audio. SpeedPilot detects it automatically, including content loaded in later.

03

Control playback

Use the popup, the on-video controller, or keyboard shortcuts β€” whichever fits the moment.

Where it works β€” honestly.

Works with standard HTML5 video and audio players across the web β€” including same-origin embedded players used by many course and lecture platforms.

Some sites use custom, DRM-protected, cross-origin, or otherwise restricted players where browser extensions genuinely cannot control playback. That's a browser security boundary, not a bug we can patch around.

Live streams show a β€œLive” indicator instead of a remaining-time estimate β€” speed control still works wherever the stream's player allows it.
