True Watch Time — Youtube

Ever watched a YouTube video at 1.5× or 2× speed and
wondered when it will actually end?

True Watch Time shows your real remaining minutes and
seconds based on your current playback speed — no mental
math required.

WHY YOU NEED THIS

YouTube's built-in timer shows the video's duration, not
YOUR actual time. Watching at 2× speed? A "10 minutes
left" video actually takes 5 minutes. True Watch Time does
the calculation for you, automatically.

PERFECT FOR

- Students watching lectures and tutorials at faster
speeds
- Professionals managing educational content during work
hours
- Podcast listeners who speed through long interviews
- Anyone who watches YouTube efficiently and values their
time

KEY FEATURES

✓ Speed-Adjusted Timer - See your real remaining time at
any playback speed
✓ End Time Display - Know exactly when the video finishes
(e.g., "Ends 3:45 PM")
✓ Live Stream Detection - Automatically shows LIVE for
live streams
✓ Live Updates - Changes instantly when you adjust speed
✓ Flexible Display - Choose corner overlay or inline title
integration
✓ Customizable - Adjust size, opacity, colors, and
position
✓ Speed Indicators - Visual emoji and text showing current
playback rate
