I checked it, and I understood that is something on YT API and you guys can't control it, but recently I discovered that the quality changes from user to user, which is mean, it has been set on AUTO from TY side and you can't change it !!

and from this, we can conclude that the YT updated it their API, since the date of the ticket.

can you tell me what is the situation right now?

Hi Ali.shaatani,

So the changes that were made is to follow the video quality Youtube sets. I don't use YT that often so correct me if I'm wrong, the default setitng is in 'Auto' which changes the resolution depending on the speed of the connection. I did some testing on this before and using the same browser if I change the resolution in YT manually and refreshes the page for the Interactive Video it also changes the quality.

So in short it shoudl change depending on the connection speed that YT detects or can be forced manually if you go directly to the video in YT.
