YouTube often automatically adjusts video quality to match the speed of your connection. If you&#8217;d rather change the quality manually, you can find the new settings in the advanced menu. Here&#8217;s how to do it on your iPhone or Android. You&#8217;ll need to know your device&#8217;s hardware model and version of YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_automatically_adjusts_video_quality_based_on_your_internet_connection_speed\"><\/span>YouTube automatically adjusts video quality based on your internet connection speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re watching a video on YouTube, the quality will adjust based on the speed of your internet connection. While this can be a great feature, the quality of the video can also get a bit annoying. Changing the quality every so often can ruin your viewing experience. Luckily, YouTube has changed how its video quality options work on iOS. Now you can choose between Auto, Preset, and Auto to watch videos at the highest possible quality.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube automatically determines the best quality based on your internet connection speed. If you&#8217;re on a mobile network, you&#8217;ll probably experience lower-than-optimal playback unless you&#8217;ve opted for a wired connection. There are several ways to change the default setting, including downloading 3rd-party browser extensions. While the auto-setting feature is great for mobile devices, it won&#8217;t work well on desktops.<\/p>\n<p>To change the default quality, visit the settings menu and tap the Quality icon. You can choose from 1080p, 720p, 360p, 480p, 240p, and 144p. Select the one that best suits your connection speed and use that setting for the best video quality. If you aren&#8217;t satisfied with the default settings, try changing the settings manually. If you&#8217;re unable to do so, try force an update to your web browser to see the best quality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_users_can_manually_change_the_setting_to_1080p\"><\/span>YouTube users can manually change the setting to 1080p<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to manually change the resolution of your videos on YouTube: Using the auto option, which determines which resolution will be the best for you based on your internet speed and quality, or manually changing the setting to a higher resolution. YouTube has also announced a new way to optimize the video quality for all types of devices. It can be difficult to adjust the resolution to a higher resolution on a mobile device if you&#8217;re using an older model, but it&#8217;s still possible to make the adjustment manually to get better results.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube app allows you to change the video resolution of each video in your session. This is helpful because it keeps your browsing experience as smooth as possible. However, the YouTube app does not support changing the default setting for videos. As a result, if you want to change the resolution of a particular video, it will impact all videos in your session, meaning that you&#8217;ll need to repeat this step each time you refresh your browser. To manually change the resolution of a video, simply tap on the video player, and then tap on the vertical ellipsis in the top right corner. Select &#8220;Quality&#8221; and then choose the resolution you want.<\/p>\n<p>Using the desktop version of YouTube, you can change the resolution manually by going into the video&#8217;s Settings. First, select the video file you want to watch. Next, click the gear-shaped icon in the lower right corner. This will display a list of different resolutions. Click on one of the resolutions that looks best on your desktop and choose the one you prefer. After that, YouTube will automatically adjust the resolution to 1080p.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_new_settings_are_hidden_in_the_advanced_menu\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s new settings are hidden in the advanced menu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re one of the many people who love to watch videos on YouTube, you&#8217;ll be glad to know that you can now change the quality of the videos on the site. In the past, YouTube simply presented you with a list of resolutions that you could play back, and you could then choose Auto or adjust the quality as necessary based on your Internet connection. Now, YouTube provides four video quality options, and Auto remains the default option. Higher picture quality and Data saver mode are also available, but the highest quality setting is not always the best option for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube has also begun implementing special character restrictions on channel names. This is meant to make it harder for spammers to hide behind false identities. While some special characters will not be allowed, others will. If you use &#8220;Y=ouTube&#8221;, for example, you&#8217;ll no longer be able to hide your subscriber count, which is one of the easiest ways for spammers to hide behind.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in disabling Restricted Mode is to sign in to your YouTube account. To do this, tap the &#8220;Activate Restricted Mode&#8221; option and toggle it off. Then you&#8217;re ready to watch videos with mature content. You can also disable Restricted Mode on Twitter. Changing the settings for YouTube will let you see more videos. The steps are very simple and should only take a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2M_GB0FFozY\" height=\"281\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Make YouTube Default to 1080p?
