WE DON'T WANT OUR SUBSCRIPTIONS ALL IN A HUGE TOWER, WE WANT THEM IN ONE BOX THAT YOU CAN SEE WITH A GLANCE

WE WANT TO SEE AT A GLANCE HOW MANY COMMENTS AND MESSAGES WE HAVE RECEIVED ON THE HOMEPAGE

COPY AND PASTE THIS, SPAM IT EVERY WHERE UNTIL YOUTUBE STOPS TAKING FUNCTIONALITY AWAY FROM IT'S USERS

SPAM THE YOUTUBE HELP FORUM AS WELL

ty

that helped me

What screen recorder did you use? I really need one. Mines bad and makes my videos very low quality. Thanks!

[MerryChristmas2You]

can't tell, maybe camtasia studio.

You can too make any YouTube video High Quality. Just add &fmt=18 to the end of the url

[JonChase]

If this doesn't work it's because it's your machine! It's amazing how many people with badly set up computers blame the video not their set-up.

If you don't know how to get the best from your PC I'd suggest you buy a Mac and then you don't have to bother.

hey buddy i don like the new view for either SL or here sorry mate just wanted to put my opinion

[AdisonX]

just add &fmt=18 at the end of URL

[isokessu]

fmt&=18 actually doesn't make it better it just make better sound quality

[rolanddc]

Not all videos plays in high quality, simply add &fmt=18 to the URL bar.

[dayday8421]

yeah, I've been using this &fmt=18 technique for ages and it does work :), it changes the format to MP4

I only knew how to click the "watch in high quality" button. Thanks for teaching me how to do it aqll the time! ^_^

But what if there's a video that's not high quality and I search for it. Will it just goto the normal quality it would be, or would I not be able to watch it?

[romanali1]

I would expect the YT developers to have accounted for this scenario. If they haven't, well it's a tad embarrassing for them. So I think it will just default to normal quality if high quality is unavailable, but I have yet to consciously verify this. :)

Questions like this can be answered by reading carefully; option 3 (as in the video at 1:29) has 3 additional words sticking out — "when it's available". So YouTube has already tried to answer this.

Just to confirm it though — yes, watching such videos works fine, just how you hoped.
