YouTube has been quite active in experimenting with a number of new features, giving paid YouTube Premium subscribers access to try them out first. Most recently, YouTube tested a number of new experimental features, and one of them is playing videos at up to 4x speed.
The feature is being tested for YouTube Premium users via the iOS and Android apps only, and is limited to testing until February 26, 2025.
In addition, several other experiments are also being conducted, including high-quality audio support for 256kbps audio on iOS and Android until February 22, support for “Shorts Smart Downloads” via iOS until February 19. You can see the full list of experimental features offered to YouTube Premium subscribers on the YouTube New page.
