Best Practices Showcase (8 hours of videos & a doc)

@Paul_Danyliuk this thread is an excellent example of addressing this :point_down: [general] Coda user sentiment (from November 2019)

@Marko_Petrovic I still have not discovered a way to have more than 24 hours per day, but when it comes to online videos, I watch most YouTube videos on 3x or 3.5x speed :crazy_face:

document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 3.5
:point_up_2: Change the 3.5 at the end to 3.0 to slow it down. The maximum is 3.99 before YouTube begins to skip frames

  1. ctrl/⌘ + i in Google Chrome β†’ opens developer console
  2. click console tab in top right
  3. [optional] click :no_entry_sign: in top right β†’ clears alerts
  4. ctrl/⌘ + v β†’ document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 3.5
  5. press enter
  6. close Google Chrome developer console :x: in top right
  7. press play on YouTube video :play_or_pause_button:
  8. fast

*for Vimeo videos: if ctrl/⌘ + i does not work … right click on the video embedded in the page and click β€œinspect”
