Seeking Advice: Speeding Up Chief Architect Videos for Mac/Safari Users

[DefinedDesign]

As a Mac user, I’m wondering if there’s a way to adjust the playback speed of videos on the Chief Architect website. I often spend a lot of time searching for the same videos on YouTube to take advantage of the arrow keys for easier navigation, and I typically speed up the video to match my preferred listening pace. Additionally, I prefer to stick with Safari due to concerns about security, so Chrome and other browsers aren’t an option for me. What solutions do you Mac/Safari users recommend?

Hi Lisa,

If you don't mind me asking?

Not sure what you are trying to do. I spend way too much time on YouTube's blackhole, so what or how are you doing to speed this up? And how do arrow keys make things easier?

Hey John on a Mac the arrow keys will move the video forward and back in 5 second increments. If you click the wheel cog on the YouTube video you can adjust the playback speed.  I did find the ability to adjust the playback speed on the CA website videos - instead of a wheel cog they have two arrows - just can't back up or go forward using the arrow keys in five second increments.
