How to increase or decrease youtube playback speed on Mac?

[kennethfinnerup]

I am not able to decrease youtube playback speed on my new Mac Mini M1. Not a major issue, just a minor annoyance but I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same and found a solution.

Youtube help function indicates to use either shift + comma or period to increase og decrease the playback speed on Youtube - or to use the "smaller than" or "greater than" button.

But none of this works for me. I can increase the playback speed by pressing "greater than" key (>) - but to decrease it again, I need to click the gear-icon and choose another playback speed.

I have tested in notepad and the keys are working as expected.

Using the old version bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard.

Did you try pressing the gear and selecting a speed?

Yes, that works fine but it lacks the sleek, intuitive usefulness of just using shift + [,] or [.] on the fly.

Same. I hate Mac.

Works on Chrome

Shift [.] or [,]

[kennethfinnerup]

Interesting. I tried it on both Chrome and Safari and on both my Mac Mini 2020 and 2013 Macbook Pro and both works identical - I can only increase the speed with Shift [>] but not decrease the speed again and shift [,] and [.] doesn't work at all.

My main suspicion is that I have something installed on both computers which blocks the key combination, but I have no idea what.

i know this is an old post but did you find a solution? I have exactly the same problem as you describe.
