Do any videos support different (faster) play speeds? It's not available on any of the videos I've watched. Thank you!

I know sped up/slowed down playspeeds are becoming a standard feature on most video learning sites and I'm wondering if treehouse supports this feature or has plans to do so in the future. The content of the videos are great but they play at a much slower speed than I'd like. Thank you!

Hey Alex,

you can actually change the video speed by messing with the video speed controller on the lower right hand side of the video. It looks like a mini speedometer.

Let me know if you can't find it.

I need to watch videos at at least 3x to 4x speed for content I already know (unfortunately this is not possible with the treehouse video playback interface). I also need the ability to rapidly shift between speeds via a keyboard shortcut. Can some one please figure out a hack to enable video speed playback controller or perhaps some JavaScript code that can be typed into the console to do so (I can map the code to a keyboard shortcut).
