YouTube is struggling, and it’s not your internet
YouTube is aware of the problem and is actively looking into it.

- YouTube users on desktops, smart TVs, and iOS are reporting a major quality downgrade while streaming.
- Videos automatically start playing in 144p or 360p resolution despite a strong internet connection.
- Thankfully, YouTube has acknowledged the problem and is doing something about it.
YouTube is not looking good. No, the platform isn’t in crisis, but it’s facing an annoying issue that is causing streams to play in very poor quality even on fast internet connections.
