On desktop browsers there is a control between the "10 second rewind" and closed captioning which lets you adjust the speed from 0.5x to 2x in .25 increments.

Yep it is down on the tool bar, you can change the speed by clicking on the bar from the bottom (.25) to the top (2.0)

Hey you see the button to the right of the "10" button? Hover over that button.. and from there you can hover over the bar and click on the speed you wish

Hi Alex Cevallos

I'm struggling to find where UI is to do that?

I've tried right clicking, editing :(
