Speed up Docebo training videos.
Docebo is one of the most widely deployed cloud LMS platforms — used for corporate compliance, customer enablement, and partner certification. Its video player limits how fast you can watch, which becomes a tax when you're cycling through hours of content. PlayFaster removes the speed cap entirely.

Why does Docebo cap playback speed?
Docebo serves an enormous range of training use cases — compliance, customer onboarding, sales enablement, partner certification. Because the platform's customers care about reportable engagement, the player ships with a speed limit that admins can configure. In practice, most deployments cap at 1.5x or 2x.
For dense first-pass content, that pacing makes sense. For employees re-completing the same annual modules, it just adds friction.
How PlayFaster works around it
PlayFaster overrides the playbackRate getter on HTMLMediaElement.prototype. When Docebo's player checks the current speed, it reads the expected value — even if the actual playback rate is 4x, 8x, or higher.
Object.defineProperty(HTMLMediaElement.prototype, "playbackRate", {
get() {
const real = originalGetter.call(this)
return real > 2 ? 2 : real // Docebo sees "2"
},
set(val) {
originalSetter.call(this, val) // actual speed applied
}
})Docebo serves video and SCORM content inside iframes. PlayFaster injects into all frames, so the override reaches embedded content as well as the parent player. Pitch preservation is enforced — voices stay natural at any speed.
Step by step
- Install PlayFaster from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
- Open your Docebo course the way you normally do.
- Click the PlayFaster icon in your browser toolbar. Set your speed using the arrow buttons, the scroll wheel, or by typing a value directly.
- That's it. The video plays at your chosen speed; Docebo's player reads the expected value.
Does it work with Docebo's interactive content?
Docebo modules often include quizzes, learning checks, and SCORM-packaged interactive elements. PlayFaster only affects audio and video playback — interactive checks still require your input at normal pace. If you skip past content and fail a knowledge check, that result reports normally to your administrator.
Will Docebo or my company know?
PlayFaster spoofs the playback rate so Docebo's reporting reads the configured speed, not your actual one. There are no flags, no warnings, and no log entries about high-speed playback. Completion status, time-on-module, and quiz scores still report based on your real interaction with the platform.
