YouTube Playback Speed Calculator

How to Use the YouTube Playback Speed Calculator

Wondering how long it will take to watch that 3-hour podcast at 1.5x speed? Or trying to fit a lengthy tutorial into your lunch break? This calculator helps you quickly determine the actual watch time when using YouTube's playback speed features.

Simply paste the YouTube URL and click the playback speed multiplier (from 0.25x to 2x). Or, you can manually enter the length of your video by toggling the "Switch to Manual Input" button.

Playback Speed Formula

For example, a 60-minute video played at 2x speed will take 30 minutes to watch. At 0.5x speed, it would take 120 minutes.
