Some YouTube users are stuck watching videos in low resolution
YouTube is stuck playing videos like it's the old days.
YouTube users are encountering a frustrating issue where they are unable to watch videos beyond 480p resolution. This problem seems to impact both free and Premium subscribers equally. Some users have found relief by clearing the app’s cache or uninstalling and reinstalling the YouTube app, but others claim these solutions did not resolve their issue.
YouTube recently resolved a different problem that prevented users from signing up, adding packages, or altering their subscriptions. With this matter handled, it is anticipated that the company can now focus on addressing the current resolution limitation affecting certain users.
The platform supports video playback in various resolutions, ranging up to 4K. Typically, users can opt from a selection between 240p and 1080p. However, a significant number of users are now restricted to only 480p resolution when watching videos. This limited range of available resolution options has left many users perplexed and seeking a solution to restore their preferred viewing quality.
