What we covered?
YouTube Playback Speed
Youtube Playback speed is a very valuable feature, the feature helps you to speed up the video which is going in slow motion or very slow.Up till now, the feature is only available on your desktop YouTube but now Youtube rolled out the update for mobile devices too.
How Playback Works ???
YouTube Software Engineer Pallavi Powale said they had to overcome some engineering hurdles to make the update happen. They had to make sure that the app can change the duration of the audio without affecting its quality. As you know, playing videos faster could make voices sound like chipmunks, while playing them at a slower speed could lower the pitch. The team had to do the same thing for the desktop version, but the problem with mobile is that phones are subject to hardware and network limitations. Hence when you change the playback speed on your phone, YouTube adjusts the video quality “to be only as high as [the app] can download dependable.”
To get the update make sure to update your YouTube app from PlayStore according to your different platforms.
