Why Adjust Video Quality?

If a video looks blurry or loads slowly, adjusting the quality settings—or understanding how quality is managed—can improve your streaming experience.

💡 Note: Manual adjustment is available only when using a web browser. Mobile apps automatically optimize video quality based on your device and connection.


Adjust Video Quality in a Web Browser

Follow these steps to change video resolution when streaming from a web browser:

  1. Open the video you want to watch in your browser.

  2. Click the Settings (⚙️ gear) icon in the video player.

  3. Select Quality from the menu options.

  4. Choose a resolution setting:

    • Higher resolutions (like 1080p or 720p) offer clearer video but need stronger internet.

    • Lower resolutions (like 480p or 360p) load faster and can help prevent buffering.


How Video Quality Works in Mobile Apps

When using a mobile app to stream videos:

  • Video quality adjusts automatically based on your device’s screen size and internet connection speed.

  • No manual quality settings are available in the app.

  • For the best results:

    • Ensure you have a strong Wi-Fi or mobile data connection.

    • Update the app regularly to benefit from performance improvements.


Tips for Best Results

  • 📶 Improve Connection: Use Wi-Fi when possible for higher quality video.

  • 🔄 Refresh If Needed: On web browsers, refreshing the page can help apply updated quality settings.

  • 📱 Keep Apps Updated: Newer versions often improve video playback quality automatically.
