Coursera Playback Speed is a free Chrome add-on developed by Church of Thought. This program allows users to set the playback speed of videos on Coursera to any value between 0.25x and 10x. By default, Coursera's video player restricts the playback speed to a maximum of 2x, but with this extension, users can increase it to their desired multiplier.

With Coursera Playback Speed, users have the flexibility to watch videos at a faster or slower pace, depending on their preference or learning needs. This can be particularly useful for individuals who want to speed up their learning process or review content more efficiently.

The add-on also provides convenient keyboard shortcuts for easy navigation. Users can use the space bar to play or pause the video, the up and down arrow keys to adjust the volume, and the left and right arrow keys to skip backward or forward. Additionally, pressing the "F" key allows users to toggle fullscreen mode.

Overall, Coursera Playback Speed is a handy tool for Coursera users who want more control over their video playback experience. It enhances flexibility and convenience, enabling users to customize their learning experience according to their preferences.
