You now have the power to set a default playback speed for your videos (e.g. 0.5×, 1×, 1.1×, 1.2×, up to 2×). This means when viewers open the video, it starts at your chosen speed — applied live to all viewers, with no need for page reloads or re-embedding.
This gives you the flexibility to tailor the viewing experience to your content and audience.
How to Use It
Go to the Vid Settings for the video you wish to adjust.
Locate the Default Playback Speed option (often in the player settings or video configuration area).
Select your desired default rate (e.g. 0.5×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, 2×).
Save your changes.
The default speed is now active — all viewers will see the video play at that rate by default.
Because the update applies in real time, there’s no need to republish or re-embed the video.
Benefits
Customized Viewing Experience – Choose the optimal speed for your content (faster for reviews or slower for detail-heavy material).
Boost Engagement – Some audiences prefer slightly accelerated playback; others need a slower pace. You control what viewers experience by default.
Consistency Across Viewers – Everyone sees the same starting speed, so your messaging and pacing stay consistent.
No Technical Overhead – No re-embedding or page reload required — changes apply immediately.
Use Cases
Training & Tutorials – Use 1.5× speed for experienced viewers, or slower for complex demonstrations.
Product Overviews / Demos – Start at a slightly faster speed to maintain attention.
Review & Recap Videos – Default to a higher speed since viewers likely already know the content.
Slow-Paced Content (e.g. storytelling, interviews) – Use 0.75× or 1× to preserve pacing.
