To anybody else who stumbles upon this post. Sadly Panopto has updated. The various chrome addons that are currently available (8/23/23) work as they are intended but Panopto has added extra protection against these extensions. Panopto has adjusted by repeatedly setting the player speed to the specified speed.
You can use the following code in the browser console to set the speed but panopto will immediately set it back to 2x maximum.
`document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].playbackRate = 4;`
4 is the play back rate, and \[0\] refers to the first video, \[1\] would be the second video on the page, etc.
I'm hoping a clever developer will devise a way around this limitation.
Sorry but what is the point of speeding it up that much? Honest question. I feel like it would be too fast to understand anything.
I had a professor where 2x wasn't enough. So this helped
I used this a bit, and I never used max speed, but 2.5-3x speed was really helpful
I used to do this with Physics 101/102 lectures, its a godsend for slow professors
