Better Video Controller

Control the speed and playback of any HTML5 video with customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Control any HTML5 video from your keyboard: change the speed, play and pause, skip, step frame by frame, jump to any point, and open picture-in-picture, without reaching for the mouse. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS (all customizable) • S / D: slow down / speed up by 0.1× (0.1× to 16×) • R: reset to 1× • G: switch between your preferred speed (1.5× by default) and 1×; hold G to use it only while held • K: play / pause • J / L: skip back / forward 5 seconds • , / .: step one frame back / forward • P: picture-in-picture • M: mute / unmute • H: show all shortcuts over the video • 1–9: jump to 10%–90%; 0: back to the start ON-VIDEO CONTROLS Hover over a video to see its speed in a corner; rest the mouse on it for speed and picture-in-picture buttons. Drag or flick it to any corner, and each website remembers where you put it. REMEMBERS EACH WEBSITE The speed you choose on a website is remembered for its next video. You can also turn the extension off for a single website from the toolbar button. MAKE IT YOURS Rebind any shortcut (with Ctrl, Alt, Shift or Meta), set the speed step, preferred speed and skip distance, and turn each feature on or off. STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY • Works on any website with a standard HTML5 video, including embedded players. • Works with any keyboard layout. • Never fires while you type in a text field. • Works in tabs that were already open; no reload needed. PRIVACY No account, no analytics, no tracking and no remote code. Nothing is sent to the developer or anyone else; only your settings and per-site preferences are saved, in your Chrome profile.
