Extension summary

Set any custom speed in Udemy's video player to be as efficient as possible! Customize/add any speeds you please. The max speed Udemy's video player supports with this extension is x16!

❗IMPORTANT - FIRST USE SETUP❗ The extension won't work until the cache is refreshed! Either do a hard refresh from the video player page (CTRL + SHIFT + R), or go to your Chrome history (CTRL+H) > Clear browsing data > Clear "Cached images and files" (All Time).

You can change the custom speeds by clicking the extension icon > "Options".

Enjoy! 📚👩‍💻📐


This only works for the desktop video player which shows the speed selector on the left side (seen in the extension page picture).

I may need to update the extension if there is ever a conflicting change in Udemy's code. If there is an issue please create an issue on GitHub or email before leaving a bad review, and I will fix it. I rely on you to let me know if there is ever a problem, thanks!
