Meta’s WhatsApp is releasing a new feature known as playback speed for videos which will let users view content efficiently as well as tailour the viewing experience to their needs.
With the assistance of this new feature, users will be allowed to watch videos at different speeds. It is worth noting that some beta testers can already explore this new feature, reported WABetaInfo.
In order to ensure easy access for users while watching videos, the new playback speed control is conveniently located next to the video progress bar.
Without interrupting their viewing experience, this button allows users to switch speeds quickly.
Moreover, users have the flexibility to choose the speed that best suits their preferences with three playback speed levels available. These include normal, 1.5x and 2.0x.
This feature is expected to significantly enhance user convenience, particularly for longer videos that might otherwise feel time-consuming to watch at normal speed, according to WABetaInfo.
Users can make better use of their time while still enjoying the content by adjusting the playback speed.
Additionally, it is also ideal for users with busy schedules who want to watch content more quickly without missing any important details.
