YouTube Shorts, the platform’s answer to the bite-sized video craze, has taken the world by storm. But with all that scrolling and swiping, one question might linger: how much detail are you actually seeing?
The good news is, you now have more control over the quality of the Shorts you watch (and create)! Here’s a breakdown to help you choose the perfect setting:
Sharpshooter
For those who prioritize crisp visuals and don’t mind using more data, Higher picture quality is your friend. This setting delivers the full Shorts experience in all its high-resolution glory. It’s ideal for creators showcasing intricate details or stunning visuals.
