Just click on the drop-down menu for switching between formats, click on "Settings" and enable "Always play HD when switching to fullscreen (when available)". You can also change playback quality settings from this page.
Unfortunately, when you exit the full screen mode, YouTube doesn't switch to the previous format. As YouTube's help center explains, "if you play HD video in a small player, the computer works overtime to scale down the video to fit within the player, which may result in choppy playback. It's always best to play the video size that best fits the size of the video player."

That option does not works with the 460p resolucion.
ReplyDeleteEvery time that I swith into full-screen mode, the resolution of the videos changes from 360 to 480, and I do NOT want these, because my internet conexion is not as fast as the video, and I have the swith mannually. It's frustrated.
If you don't have a fast Internet connection, don't enable this setting. HD videos are quite large.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a good thing that YouTube switches to 480p if there's no HD version. Videos look much better in full screen.
I get the same message. I've tried tweaking the settings on our corporate firewall (SonicWall 3060) and cannot for the life of me figure out why I keep getting the "video no longer available message." When I view the same video outside of our corporate firewall, i.e. on my home computer via LogMeIn, the video plays fine with no messages or problems. Can someone tell me how I need to tweak my SonicWall? SonicWall support has been no help, so I'm looking for someone who has personally fixed this issue.
ReplyDeleteOn the balance I prefer it not switching back to the lower quality version when exiting fullscreen. At least it means the video can continue to play uninterrupted. When Youtube switches video quality, you get a delay as well as a desynchronization of your exact position in the video.
ReplyDeleteThe delay when switching to HD upon entering fullscreen is not too annoying, but because of how Flash's fullscreen works, if you need to switch windows temporarily you have to exit fullscreen. If entering/exiting fullscreen always required a quality switch delay that would get annoying.
how do you do that on the iphone 5
