TikTok is known for being the fastest and most instant video network that exists, but if all that frenzy impregnated in the publications of content creators is insufficient for you to be able to see everything in one day, know that there is a function that will allow you play videos faster at a 2x speed. This is a feature similar to what YouTube offers, so if you didn't know about it, today you will learn something new.
Watch videos faster on TikTok
The trick is extremely simple, however, you may not know it yet. This is a function that is responsible for speed up video playback so you can advance faster, something that can be activated if you keep your finger pressed on a specific area of the screen.
The key is to hold down the section of the screen that is located on the highest sides of the image, just after where the likes, messages and avatar icons of the profile you are viewing end. By simply pressing and holding your finger in that upper area, the video will start playing much faster, exactly double the speed.
This is useful for those long videos in which you are interested in advancing the playback so as not to waste too much time, although taking into account how fast people speak on this social network, it is normal that you will not understand the video too much, but there it is.
This playback speed change can be activated either by pressing the right or left side of the screen, so it won't matter which hand you hold the phone with.
It doesn't work, the share menu appears
If the video sharing drop-down menu appears when you try to increase the playback speed, one of two things may be happening:
- That you are not clicking in the right place.
- The video you are watching is an advertisement, and these videos cannot be advanced at a higher speed.
So that you can see where you have to press for the video to accelerate its playback speed, we leave you with an image where you can quickly identify which area you have to place your fingers to make the video go faster.
As you can see, the gesture of holding down the press to advance playback is identical to the one offered, for example, on YouTube, although its activation requires a little more precision taking into account all the buttons and reactions shown on the screens. videos.
