> But like okay, if you are so great why can I only watch at 1x playback speed for video?

Maybe they updated this recently since you last tried, but you can most certainly change the playback speed for podcast videos (0.5x–3.5x). I just did it. Of course, the UX could definitely be improved in other ways, such as providing a more organized & easily filterable feed rather than a somewhat random assortment of 'Your shows' and 'Episodes for you'.

Actually I double checked this. The web player (which is how I use Spotify) STILL does not support more than 1x video playback. So I guess my original point still holds true.

Spotify with all their "genius" engineers still don't have the basic functionality you would expect.

Maybe you are on mobile and the parent commenter is not?

That is a 2-3 year old link. It's not valid.

Speed adjustment is available for video podcasts on spotify desktop. I just tried it directly on a rogan podcast, and can use it on both linux and windows desktop.

They must have updated it recently because the Convo I had with him was a few months back. He just went on and on about how no one wants the feature etc.

Glad they have it now.
