For Ballroomdancers.com videos that are on You Tube, you can control the speed by clicking on the gear. Is there a way to control the speed for videos on the Ballroomdancers.com web site?

Actually, yes there is.

We just unveiled an upgrade to the website that contains a video player with variable speeds. However, it doesn't work in every browser, so if you don't see it, you may need to try another browser. I know for a fact that it does work in Google Chrome.

If your browser supports the feature, you will see a small "1x" in the lower right-hand corner of the video player, just to the left of the full screen icon. When you click on that, it will pop up a list of speeds for you to choose from, including 0.25x (quarter speed), 0.5x (half speed), 0.75x (three quarter speed) and 1x (full speed).

Just took a very quick look at the new site Jonathan.

Cha Cha variation of the week ran at four selectable speeds 100%, 75%, 50% with audio and 25% without audio. Great stuff.

That was using FireFox v54

Hi SocialDancer,

I'm glad to hear the variable speed worked for you in Firefox. Are you on a Mac or PC?

So far, the verified list of supporting browsers includes the latest versions of each of the following:

• Google Chrome for Mac and PC
• Firefox (Mac/PC?)
• Safari for Mac

If anybody else is using a different browser and would like to report your results, please let us know here! I'll update the list as results come in.

We love the feature. We enjoy it on our Windows desktops. It is too bad it does not show on our iphone or my Android ZTE phone.
