Slow Video Recording Playback Speed

[shroom]

I've noticed that Zoom recordings can be played back at faster speeds.  Many of us are taking music lessons and need to be able to slow the recordings down to 75%, 50% or 25% like what's possible on YouTube.  Is this possible on Zoom?  I don't see it as an option but many people would use this feature.

Thanks

I have the same question from my students but for painting. My students want to watch the brush strokes at slower speed.

I save the recording in Windows Media Player--my computer automatically saves files there. Then open it and right click on the screen.  Click <Enhancements> <Play Speed Settings> and then slide the cursor to the left for slower, and to the right for faster. It's  a lifesaver.

I would like to know too please.  I have the option to playback at a fast speed (1.25x, 1.5x, 2.0x).  I want to slow the speed down.

Oops on my phone I accidentally marked that as a solution, which it is not for me. I use Apple products so cannot open it in a Windows media player. I think that does not allow me to do that anyways. But great suggestion otherwise. I wish I could undo marking that as a solution!

That maybe a work around, but this is something (IMO) that should be available while watching the zoom recordings. For classes, if I have to take the time to download the video and resave it someplace like you tube for my students, that sort of defeats the purpose of using zoom.

I agree charschulz. I found myself wishing that this particular teacher had taken the time to video his lessons himself and then post to Limited sharing YouTube.
