I have watched countless hours of pre-recorded content since the pandemic and found an amazing plug-in that takes some of the edge off these Zoom sessions, YouTube videos, etc.
How many times have you signed up for an online webinar only to find out that it was previously recorded and not interactive at all? That is one of my major pet peeves since they are typically scheduled during prime work hours when I should be talking to potential buyers / sellers, working on my marketing efforts, coordinating closings, etc.
Did you know that the average adult reads at about 250 - 300 words per minute, yet speaks at only about 150 words per minute? What if you could speed that up 1.5 or 2x the speed. Wouldn't that hold your attention better? What if there are commercials embedded in the video? Many are programmed so you can't just skip them entirely, but what if I showed you how to fast forward through them? Well if you use Apple products, quit reading now since this is for Chrome.
There are lots of video speed controller apps and plug-ins on the market, but this one works well for me. My sweet spot is typically 1.7x speed.
Here is a link to Github's website with instructions on how to install their Chrome Extension:

I hope you like it as much as I do!
