If you want more granular control, you can hit the play button and then click the fast-forward button while holding down Option (\u2325). Each time you Option-click the fast-forward button the play back screen will increase one-tenth (1.1x, 1.2x, 1.3x, etc.) all the way up to 2.0x. In older versions of macOS, this was the only way to adjust playback speed. It persists in Monterey, but mainly to give you more precise control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
