The Playback Speed Control allows the user to adjust the speed of video playback. The position defaults to the centre (1x speed) but may be adjusted up to increase the speed, or down to decrease the speed. Adjusting the speed (and in particular, decreasing the speed) may affect the clarity of playback.
The current position within the video is shown by the white circular icon, and blue bar to its left-hand side. The current position in the video may be changed by clicking and dragging this marker along the progress bar, or using the ffwd or rewind buttons.
