Hello All,

I am sure we are not the first ones to come across this issue...

We go through the process of exporting our videos in the highest quality possible, we then upload them to YouTube, play them, and YouTube plays it 9 out of 10 times with low quality resolution as default. Why!?

We export in 1080p HD format, and YouTube plays it by default on 360p or 480p most of the time. You can always stop the video, select the full screen option (sometimes when you do this, it will bump you up to a higher resolution...but again, not always) and explicitly choose for the video to play in 1080p, which everyone in this forum would know how to do, but what happens with Joe the Plumber...? He would open up the video, say "Arghh ugly blurry images...next, video...bye!"

In the YouTube Settings > Playback section you can choose for:

Playback
Video playback quality:

[Checked] - Always choose the best quality for my connection and player size
[Checked] - Always play HD on fullscreen (when available)

But in reality....it doesn't do this!?

Can anyone shed some light on how we can "force" YouTube to play our videos to our audience with 1080p if their hardware/connection has the capabilities to do so?

Thanks!
