Want to take control of how your videos appear on YouTube? Yes, we want better quality pictures. But, sometimes, a lower resolution can help save us bandwidth.
That is where Video Quality adjustments come in. YouTube provides several options when choosing the video quality we want each time we want a content.
- Auto – automatically changing the quality for a best streaming experience depending on your environment and the video
- High Picture Quality – switches instantly to its best regardless of the content and condition
- Data saver – offers a lower resolution but saves you bandwidth
- Advanced – enables you to manually select formatting
Unfortunately, YouTube viewers noticed the unavailability of the Quality option in the video settings. Users are unable to adjust the video quality.
