Please Note: The playback speed of You Tube videos can be increased/decreased, as you require:
– Once the audio video is playing, move your cursor over the main section of the screen (the video window playing the music).
– A horizontal toolbar will appear along the bottom of this video window (you will see the play, pause, volume icons, etc to the left side).
– At the right-middle end of this horizontal toolbar, click on the cog-wheel (settings) icon.
– A pop-up box appears, with ‘Playback Speed’ as the middle option.
– The default is set at Normal. Click on the small arrow symbol to the right of the word ‘Normal’, to reveal a vertical option list and select a slower (or faster!) speed.
