Global Speed

Set a default speed for video and audio.

Global Speed is a powerful Chrome extension that lets users control video and audio playback speeds across nearly all streaming platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, and Spotify. Users can set default speeds for each tab or according to URL rules, and control playback using customizable shortcut keys.

Beyond speed control, Global Speed offers advanced media hotkeys for rewinding, forwarding, frame analysis, volume adjustments, and AB repeating with options to prioritize specific media sources and enable global mode to control background media. Users can also apply various filters like invert colors, grayscale, brightness, and contrast, or add audio effects including pitch shift, volume boost, and EQ. The extension prioritizes privacy with no data collection or tracking. Explore its full features on GitHub.
