Student FAQ
Answers for course watching.
Is UVE useful for long lectures?
Yes. Fine speed steps help you move faster through familiar explanations and slow down for dense material, while per-site memory keeps course preferences separate from other websites.
What is included in Free vs Pro for students?
Free includes speed up to 3×, volume boost up to 200%, three templates, YouTube captions, and keyboard shortcuts. Pro unlocks up to 16× speed, 600% volume, OpenSubtitles search, subtitle file upload, and five templates.
Is there a student price?
Pro Student is a discounted one-time license for currently enrolled students. Verify on the student page, then complete checkout.
Does UVE work on university players?
UVE works with compatible HTML5 video. Many course platforms use HTML5 players, but protected or custom players may limit extension control.
