Can you change the video speed in the courses? I tried a few different browsers but don't see the option in any of them. Is there any way to play them at 1.5x or 2x?
Thanks!

Hi Anita,
Some video hosts, like YouTube, enable you to speed up the playback of videos using a speed control button built into the player. Unfortunately, our video host, Vimeo, does not include such a built-in control. It's a feature that has long been requested by Vimeo customers, so the hope is that they'll include it in a future version.
I was wondering if there was a work-around and found a Chrome extension/add-on that does it for me – ‘Vimeo repeat & speed‘. Have you tried this? It works well, at least on the one video I just tried it on. And/or can you see any reason not to use it?
I haven’t tried the extension you mentioned, but I have tried a Javascript bookmark shortcut; it only worked on videos that are being watched on Vimeo.com, not on other websites where videos are embedded (like this one). I don’t see any problem with using an extension like this, if you want to save some time. Good find!
