Months after YouTube launched an enhanced bitrate 1080p option for Premium subscribers on mobile, the platform is now bringing the video quality to the web. The company rolled out the higher-quality 1080p on iOS devices in April after an initial experiment in February.
Bringing the experience to the web allows more Premium members to watch “extra crisp and clear” videos, YouTube wrote in its April blog post. Enhanced bitrate is particularly great for videos with a lot of detail and motion, such as sports-related and gaming videos.
