How to Watch YouTube Videos in High Quality Mode Automatically
(YouTube Help Articles – Article by Joe Tracy, copyright 2009)
Many people have high speed internet connections that load videos fast. But when you view YouTube videos, YouTube always shows them in a default Standard mode that is far inferior to the high-quality mode. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could change it so that the default was always high-quality mode?
You can. Here’s how.
Step 1: Log into your YouTube account.
Step 2: Once you’re logged in, click your Account link at the top of the page.
Step 3: On the left-hand menu, click Playback Setup.
Step 4: Select “I have a fast connection. Always play higher-quality video when it’s available.
That’s it! Now the default when you view YouTube videos will be to always see them in high quality!

Oh, that is a nice simple guide. Just the way I like it. Thank you, I will try and apply it to my Youtube videos as usually the ones I upload are very low quality and you can’t seem to see much. Thank you for notifying me of this feature.
Hmm… was never aware of this settings before. My Internet speed is 384kbps and I doubt if the high quality mode would work for me (without interruptions). I will have it checked sooner! Thanks for the info.
