Watching long videos on Facebook may become monotonous and also is time-consuming. Unlike YouTube, Facebook does not have a direct option to speed up videos for watching them quickly and without missing any vital information. So, if you, too, are looking for ways to speed up Facebook videos for watching or saving them locally in fast motion, you are reading on the right page. We will help you to know the proven ways to speed up Facebook videos.

One such popular extension is Video Speed Controller that is offered by igrigorik. The extension allows an optimized viewing experience by changing the speed of any HTML video, including Facebook videos. After the extension is installed, a speed indicator will appear to let you adjust the speed as desired. Shortcuts for speed adjustments can also be used.
