Hello Plex Support, I usually watch TV shows and some movies at a faster Playback Speed than the normal 1.00. I started with podcasts and then with streaming video providers through a web browser. This helps me get through slow seasons or slow movies without missing any important info to the story. I requested this feature to other sites and Netflix and Youtube have added it to their mobile devices which helps tremendously. I currently use Plex DNLA with VLC on my mobile devices as a workaround and I would love to use this feature natively on the Plex app with Mobile Apps, and TV Apps. What can I do to get this feature rolling with your team? I have a lifetime membership, I love plex, I have been using it for a long time, but it sucks that I have to use a third-party app to watch shows the way I like to watch them. ---

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@\[implemented\] Playback Speed](https://forums.plex.tv/t/playback-speed/69044/1): > > I use plex for checking my surveillance webcam. For quick scanning an option for different playback speeds (x2, x4, x16) would be awesome.    Other purposes would be: education videos, audiobooks, interviews (for transcription).   What do you think?
