This video talks about how a catalyst helps get to the equilibrium condition faster for a reversible reaction.
It also addresses why adding a catalyst would not change the value of the equilibrium constant. The interesting factor is that a catalyst helps increase the rate of both the forward as well as the backward reaction by the same amount.

00:00- Is a catalyst consumed during a reaction?
1:40- A catalyst does not affect the equilibrium.
3:00- Effect of catalyst on the activation energy.
