I do understand that, but still it would be much easier and better if the quality of the videos posted was better.

[Emily Soldal]

The quality issue has to do with this being stripped from a live stream, its something which is in the works.

[Vendetta042]

The channel is called GoogleDevelopers, not GoogleHouseWives.

[Pr3fixProducts]

Because it is more appealing to viewers.

[Vendetta042]
