Playback Speed

Certainly! Here’s a solution you could post in response:

Hi! If you want to add a 0.75x playback speed option to the Laracasts video player, you can usually do this by modifying the player’s configuration, if you have access to it.

If you’re using a JavaScript-based player (like Video.js or Plyr), you can add custom playback rates like so:

For Video.js:

videojs('your-player-id', {
  playbackRates: [0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2]
});

For Plyr:

const player = new Plyr('#player', {
  speed: {
    selected: 1,
    options: [0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2]
  }
});

If you’re just an end user and do not have access to the codebase, here are two easy workarounds:

1. Browser extensions such as Video Speed Controller for Chrome let you set any speed (including 0.75x) for any video.
2. Feature Request: If this is on Laracasts, request the feature by leaving your feedback (which you’ve already done). The LaracastTeam can then consider bringing back the 0.75x option.

Let me know if you have access to the player code—happy to show more specific steps!
