YouTube has a speed button?

When you go to change the quality of the video theres a speed button that will let you slow down or speed up the video. How long has it been there? I just noticed it.

It's been there a while, don't know how long though. At least a few months.

I think it's been there for a month or two.

[Nikolan]

[Boink!]

for some reason it randomly appears for me

Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. The YouTube player's continuity sucks.

I must be loving blind if I haven't noticed it til now.

[ChexGuy331]

only on HTML5 vids. some videos still use the Flash player.

they're both buggy as forget anyway.

it's useful for watching ted-talk like things when the person speaks slowly

[otto-san]

yeah it's been there for a long time at random points with no obvious connection as to how or why or when or anything

it's a mystery how youtube works/doesn't work sometimes

I love abusing the speed button.

[LagoomSack]

the "3D" button also appears for me too when it isn't supposed to
