Suggestion: Add Playback Speed option in SharePoint video player
Hello, this is coming and is currently a part of the feature gap related to the change going from Stream (classic) to Stream (SharePoint). You can read more about it here, the link is directed to the roadmap specifically https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/streamnew/features-new-version-stream#roadmap
Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365 (Variable playback speed (0.5-2x) for Microsoft Teams meeting recordings)
ChristianJBergstrom thanks for your responce.
Would you mind doing it kinda faster?:) Our school uses sharepoint for the recorded classroom videos and it takes too much time to watch them in normal speed.
Marallou Actually they haven't managed to update this one so..
- Targeted Release: We expect to begin the targeted release rollout in early August and be fully rolled out by approximately early September
- General Availability: We expect to begin the GA rollout in early September and expect that release to be fully rolled out by approximately late September
In other words, if you can't use it now it won't take long.
Is the ability to Playback (rewind) or Forward a SharePoint video possible?
Right now, we can only Play and Pause. If we try to the scroll bar the video replays. This is not a good user experience.
I'm hoping a playback or better video player experience is available for videos views through SharePoint. Would appreciate your expert advice here.
EBirch5 Hi, as far as I know the feature is still in "rolling out" status so probably hasn't hit your tenant yet.
For Teams meeting recordings saved to OneDrive & SharePoint, you'll be able to change the playback speed (0.5x - 2x) while watching the video.
You will see an icon in the bottom right corner of Teams meeting recordings that opens the Playback speed menu. This menu contains options for slower speed (0.5x), normal speed (1x), and faster speed (1.2x, 1.5x, 1.8x, and 2.0x). The setting that you chooses will persist for the duration of the browser session; you can change it at any time using the Playback speed menu.
- Hello,
It's the 1st of November and as far as I can see the feature is not available. The roadmap still says that it is expected in October. I was wondering, what is the actual date of release?
Thank you- Status is "rolling out" meaning it's happening right now, and when changed to "launched" all tenants will have the feature. Not possible to get an exact date. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?searchterms=82002&rtc=1&filters=&searchterms=82002
Marallou Hey I found a way to change speed now. From the SharePoint video, right-click and you should be given an option to "Show All Controls". Then there is a vertical 3-dot menu on the bottom right-hand side of the screen. When you click on that, it gives you an option to change the speed.
tigerpuppy Great find, thanks!

That's how you can do through the in-browser controls on any website.
