A bug with YouTube for Android today means that you cannot accommodate the playback speed of the video.
By Tuesday afternoon, you cannot set the playback speed other than 1x on Android. Settings Gear> Playback Speed Panel allows you to tap other presets or adjust the slider, but it has not been saved. Closing and returning shows that it is back to 1x.
We are looking at the issue with both the stable (20.28.39) and beta (20.29.39) of YouTube for Android. Playback speed control (for podcast) in YouTube music is not affected.

YouTube is accepted The issue: “We know that some of you are experiencing the issues that adjust the playback speed while watching the video on Android devices. Our teams are actively investigating the issue! As soon as we have new information, we will update this thread.”
