Features & Capabilities

Customize your YouTube viewing experience with a sleek, native-feeling control panel embedded directly next to YouTube's player controls. Whether you need to watch lectures at 3.5x speed, analyze frame-by-frame animations at 0.05x, or rotate sideways and upside-down videos, this extension has you covered.

FEATURES

Break Past the 2x Limit Go beyond YouTube’s default 2.0x limit. Fine-tune your video playback speed anywhere from 0.25x up to 16.0x speed.
Instant Presets Includes quick-access buttons for playback speeds from 0.25x up to 3.0x (in convenient 0.25x increments).
90° Video Rotation Rotate videos by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Perfect for sideways smartphone uploads, tablet mounts, or reading content sideways.
Smart Dynamic Scaling When rotating videos, the player automatically scales the video aspect ratio so it fits perfectly inside your player frame without clipping or overflowing.
Seamless UI Integration Adds a single, clean playback controller icon right in the YouTube toolbar beside the Subtitle/Closed Caption button.
Persistent Preferences Remembers your chosen playback speed and rotation settings across different videos and tabs, saving you from constant re-adjustments.

HOW TO USE IT

Open any video on YouTube.
Locate the new double-arrow playback button in the bottom right corner of the YouTube player (next to the Subtitle/Closed Captions button).
Click the button to toggle the settings menu.
Select a speed preset, type a custom speed, or click a rotation angle to apply it instantly.
Click anywhere outside the menu (or press Escape) to close it.

Is Custom YouTube Playback & Rotation Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Custom YouTube Playback & Rotation requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Custom YouTube Playback & Rotation is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
