For viewers streaming YouTube through a mobile app, it looks like YouTube is trying a new option. Reddit user u/KZedUK (from This is Tech Today) reports that a new stream quality choice named “1080p Premium” with an “Enhanced bitrate” has arrived.
YouTube 1080p Premium option
Users with the platform’s Premium service will have access to this new stream option, which coexists with the “normal” 1080p version that is very generously compressed.
According to This is Tech Today, the new “high-bitrate” 1080p option would satisfy customers’ desire for higher-quality videos, which they currently satisfy by switching to a 1440p or 2160p (4K) streaming option when it is available.
To satisfy consumers’ requests for higher-quality mobile video viewing, the video streaming company may be able to reduce operating costs with the help of this new option.
This comes shortly after Susan Wojcicki’s resignation as CEO of YT, albeit it has not yet been determined whether the move is due to Neil Mohan’s appointment as the new CEO.
Additionally, the “1080p Premium” video option, according to Android Police, might also hide 60fps and 120fps videos behind the YouTube Premium barrier.
