Video Quality Default Setting
I'm a video creator at my org. So, I'm generally viewing things through a hybrid, technical+creative lens. As we begin to share internal videos via Stream (SP), I'm regularly noticing that the video ...
Still awaiting a real comment from Microsoft on this issue. It is very clearly not an individual user problem, and plainly an attempt by Microsoft to save pennies, at the expense of usability.
Bumping this. The issue appears to be - at least from what I'm seeing - is that even though the sticky option is 'Auto' and there is no changing that, no matter how high your bandwidth speeds are, the video player will only ever play at 720p or less. I don't see why when i'm running at 20 MB/s speeds (which I currently am), the player shouldn't default to playing at 1080p. The Stream video player will never automatically display at HD, which seems dumb for a video player. Again, I know Microsoft is trying to save money here, and Stream probably isn't at the top of their priorities when it comes to products, but this is a video player and doesn't compare to tools like Vimeo. There's a big difference in impact that we're missing an organization because our videos don't display at their best resolution.
