Quick summary
PowerPoint lets you adjust video playback speed directly within a slide by using the built-in speed control during playback — no third-party tools required. You can set the playback rate to 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, or 2x to make any embedded video play faster.
Steps
- Click the video on your PowerPoint slide to select it.
- Click the Play icon to begin video playback.
- Click the speed control (1x) button in the lower-right corner of the video player.
- Select your desired playback speed — such as 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, or 2x — to increase the video speed.
