Coronavirus pushes YouTube to lower its default streaming quality too
Following Netflix’s lead in reducing network congestion
With the shift to telecommuting en masse, home broadband connections are under a tremendous load following the surge in data needs for things like video conferencing. While the situation is similar around the world, Europe is hit particularly hard with entire countries under lockdown. To ease some of that network congestion, Netflix yesterday decided to lower its streaming quality in the region, and now, YouTube is following suit.
According to Reuters, YouTube will default its videos to standard definition, which is 480p on the service, across the European Union.
