YouTube video quality

YouTube has started to support better quality videos. I’ve been very dissatisfied of the quality for a long time already and the situation wasn’t any better with the latest Metaverse videos.

Anyway, if you add “&fmt=18″ to the end of the YouTube video url, you will get a better quality video. This works - of course - if the original video has a better quality and resolution. Unfortunately embedded videos do not support this yet.

Check the examples:
