For Safari on iOS and macOS.

For iPhone / iPad
For Mac
 

Smart playback controls

Change speed, save time

Adjust video speed from 0.5× to 2.0× – in fine 0.05 increments, so it's just the right speed for you, saving you time. How much time? Even at a modest speed of 1.2×, you already save 10 minutes per hour of video.

Jump back / forward

What was just said? Easily jump back a few seconds to see and hear it again. Likewise, jumping forward is convenient to skip short segments. The default jump interval is 10 seconds, but you can also pick your own.

More ways to watch and enjoy

On many sites, Vidimote gives you additional options to watch web videos: in picture-in-picture mode, fullscreen - or by sending it to AirPlay targets.

Play / Pause

Play and pause buttons for videos are located in many different places. With Vidimote, at least one play/pause button is now always in the same spot.

8:15:00 PM

Better times

Remaining time in Vidimote takes the video speed into account: what is shown is the actual time remaining.

For live streams, Vidimote shows the approximate clock time for the current stream position, making it a lot easier to find f.ex. the beginning of a show when using time shifting.

Back to
LIVE

Catch up with live streams

Late to a live stream, but time shifting is supported?

Depending on how late you are, consider watching the time shifted part at a higher speed.

When you caught up and the stream comes back to live, Vidimote will automatically change speed to 1.0×.

Extended picture-in-picture

Additional PiP controls

Vidimote adds controls to PiP that allow you to jump back and forth as well as see the current speed and actually remaining time to the end of the video.

Adjust speed in PiP

Move the mouse pointer over the right part of Vidimote's PiP control bar to reveal buttons for adjusting playback speed.

Customizable

Settings

Pick the time intervals you'd like Vidimote to skip back and forward. Or adjust the range within which you'd like to be able to adjust speed (from 0.1x to 10x).

Default speed

Pick a default speed that you'd like videos to start playing in - and Vidimote will apply it to new videos automatically.

Highly compatible

Vidimote brings its own mesh technology to the table, allowing it to reach and control virtually any web video on a web page, regardless of how many layers deep it is embedded.
