Speed and resolution problematic

Working my way through the Hubspot Academy courses and I’m noticing the speakers speak way too fast for most humans to process and consume the information they are providing. The only speed option slower than 100% is 50%, which is way too slow. It would be great if there were additional slower speed options in 10% increments (or, even better, if the speakers originally presented in a way which is better suited for learning, not just presenting).

 

Also, it’s obvious that the screen recordings were recorded on a large monitor at 1080p resolution, but all videos have been downscaled to 720p. Why is this an issue? The 1080p on a large monitor means the text is small and I have to make the video full-screen on my 27″ monitor to accurately follow. But the 720p is an issue because the image was downscaled and now the image is blurry when I expand it to full-screen, at times making it difficult to read.

 

Too late for now, but HubSpot, it would be great if future courses more adequately catered to visual and audio requirements of a larger range of users. I don’t have any accessibility needs myself, but I’d hate to be someone that did and trying to work my way through these courses.
