How to Change YouTube Double-Tap to Seek Time Settings

YouTube Double Tap Seek

In YouTube’s mobile app, there is a very helpful gesture, which allows users to double-tap the edge of the screen to skip or reverse a short portion of a video. By default, double-tapping once will change the time by 10 seconds. But, do you know the time can be easily adjusted in the settings?
