Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Coje_He and Muirseth for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 18, YouTube is testing a new way to improve video playback speed-- you can play video twice as fast by long pressing anywhere on the player. Bilibili, Douyin and others have supported this function.

At present, on the mobile side, to adjust the playback speed, you need to click the video window display control button, then press the setting icon in the upper right corner, then find the speed option at the bottom of the menu, and select the desired speed, which requires a total of four steps. YouTube is now testing the "long press the video window to automatically double the playback speed" function, just "when watching the video, long press any position on the screen, you can double the playback speed", you will see a prompt at the top of the window to "play at twice the speed", and the video will continue to play at normal speed after releasing your fingers. On the PC, double-speed playback can be triggered by clicking and holding down the mouse or trackpad.

In addition, CTOnews.com noted that YouTube is also testing a lock screen function to prevent users from accidentally clicking on the screen during video playback, which is also supported by many domestic players, such as bilibili.

Currently, the testing feature is only available to YouTube Premium subscribers, and the testing period is not available until August 13.
