What factors can cause YouTube videos to have poor quality?

It is possible that there are certain factors that interfere with the quality of the videos you see , it is not only a bad internet connection, but also the size of the screen. This last point refers to the fact that if, for example, you watch a video that has a different format, in terms of screen measurements, it may look poor quality.

Which means that it has nothing to do with your internet connection, although you can check it beforehand and check it.

Depending on screen size and internet connection

In relation to the size of the screen, you should know that the videos with the best quality look excellent on large screens. So it is possible that, when watching a video on your mobile device, you cannot see it with good quality.

Not precisely because of the size of the screen, but there are other aspects that have to do with it, such as, for example, that, in many cases, the quality when uploading a video to YouTube is somewhat lost.

Now, when it comes to the internet connection, it can refer to, if you are connected to WiFi, check that it has a good connection, otherwise, the video will be played with low quality. Also, if you have good internet, you can place it in an exact minute.

Sometimes, when watching videos, using only mobile data, they will not be reproduced with excellent quality , this depends a lot on the signal and the megabytes you have.

How to make the videos you upload to YouTube not lose their original quality?

It is normal that, when uploading a video, it is uploaded with little or low quality. The reason for this, and why many people prefer to upload videos this way, is because they load much faster than when uploading them in original quality.

However, by the time the upload is complete, the video will be in low quality, which does not allow people who view it to have an excellent experience . Because, it can look pixelated and not be enjoyed as it should.

The detail is that if you want to upload a video with its original quality, be it 4k or higher, these videos will take longer to load. But you can choose to upload them as ‘unlisted’ so their quality is not lost either.

Upload video as ‘Unlisted’

You can choose to upload the video as unlisted after this process is complete, it is possible to improve its quality, and thus make the video public for everyone . In this way, all users will be able to see the video with the best quality.

The best option for the video to  upload quickly and have a good quality, what you should do is that the frames are low. In this way it takes less time to load, but when it is complete, it can be seen with a good image.

How to change the quality of a video you watch on YouTube?

When we want to enjoy a video through the YouTube platform, we always change the quality, normally it is under medium quality.  This is due to two reasons, the first is that it can load faster, while the second is due to the internet connection.

It may be possible that the quality of the video changes while you are watching it, since as you enjoy it, the speed of the internet improves or you have let it load long enough to be able to see it in the best quality . Playback speed also has to do with quality.

You can modify it through your computer, the television and also the mobile device. In all cases, it is necessary to search for the configuration option, after that, access quality, and there choose the option you want.

The videos may not load correctly , but this problem is caused by the internet connection. Therefore, you must be sure that you have a good connection, so that you can watch the videos with the best quality, otherwise, they can take hours to load.

Automatic or ‘Data Saver’ quality

Within the settings, especially for mobile devices , you will find the option of automatic quality. Although this is also known as data saving.

By placing the video under this quality, it may be minimal, but in exchange for this, the video will play faster than those with a higher quality. It is recommended to view them under this one when you have a weak internet connection.

As far as automatic quality is concerned, the video will choose automatically  with which it will be played, obviously, it will depend on the internet connection you have.

Quality of ‘Advanced Options’

You can also choose the alternative of advanced options in this section, you can choose between the different quality formats, to be able to enjoy the videos.
