YouTube testing a new way for users to easily watch videos at 2x speed

YouTube is experimenting with a new capability that allows Premium subscribers to watch videos at 2x speed. The feature lets users long-press on the player to automatically set the playback speed to 2x, per YouTube’s experiments page.
Users that opt into the test on mobile can simply hold down anywhere on the screen with their finger until a message appears at the top of the window that says, “Playing at 2x speed.” The feature is also available on the web.
This will likely be a nice upgrade for Android and iOS device users since it’s currently a four-step process to move up the playback speed.
