YouTube adds tons of little tweaks, including fine-tunable playback speed

YouTube adds dozens of little tweaks, including fine-tunable playback speed and an updated miniplayer. There’s also co-op playlists with custom thumbnails, a sleep timer and more.

Standard YouTube users are getting access to the Sleep Timer, after the company tested the feature with Premium members earlier this year.
