Add both Clappr and the plugin scripts to your HTML :

<head>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/clappr@latest/dist/clappr.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/clappr-playback-rate-plugin@latest/lib/clappr-playback-rate-plugin.min.js"></script>
</head>

Then add PlaybackRatePlugin into the list of plugins of your player instance :

var player = new Clappr.Player({
  source: "https://your.video/here.mp4",

    PlaybackRatePlugin
  ],
  // [...]
});

You can also customize the labels and rates using the playbackRateConfig property as shown below :

var player = new Clappr.Player({
  // ...
  source: "https://your.video/here.mp4",
  plugins: [
    PlaybackRatePlugin
  ],
  playbackRateConfig: {
    defaultValue: 1,
    options: [
      {value: 0.5, label: '0.5x'},
      {value: 1, label: '1x'},
      {value: 2, label: '2x'},
    ],
    // rateSuffix: 'x',
  },
});
