In Youtube I can play videos at x3 speed with:
1- the extension "'Improve YouTube!' (Video & YouTube Tools)🎧"
2- the extension "SpeedUp: Netflix, Prime videos"
3- the console command "document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 3"
none of these work on the LiveTL extension player.
The LiveTL video player and chat sizes are much bigger than YouTube's. So I'd like to be able to use it at x3 playback speed.
Describe the solution you'd like
Let 1 of the above options work
or
make another way to change the playback speed
Describe alternatives you've considered
Described above.

Those extensions don't seem to work with YT iframe players, so there's that. For example, they don't work on sites like Holodex or even on videos that are shared using the YT share as embed feature. Theoretically if you can find an extension that does that then it should work out of the box.

I just tried "Youtube Playback Speed Control" and "Video Speed Manager" extensions.
Both of them work on Holodex, but neither works on LiveTL. I even enabled the "Allow access to file URLs" setting on "Video Speed Manager" and it still didn't work.
Do you have any suggestions?
Welp, it was worth a shot. Normally, extensions are unable to access other extensions' pages by design. I initially thought that since the player is in an iframe (which is its own page), other extensions would be able to inject into it regardless, but seems like that isn't the case.
We'd have to implement our own playback rate controls if we want to add this to LiveTL.
@TerableCoder the third option works if you click the iframe with the video in it and then type in the command.
Firefox with console editor
Firefox normal console
Chrome console
I tested out using document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 3; in the console and it worked. You can use this for changing the video rate.
closing because @r2dev2's solution seems to work
