Google Photos Adds Video Playback Speed Controls on Android

Google calls the new control a top user request.

Overview

  • Google Photos is rolling out native speed control for videos on Android.
  • Playback can be set to 0.25x, 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, or 2x.
  • Users change speed by opening a video, tapping the three dots, and choosing Playback speed.
  • Google has not confirmed when the same control will reach iOS or the web.
  • The update follows earlier testing and gives people a faster way to skim long clips or slow moments to catch details.
