Youtube resolution now locked at 360p after update?

Aha! Thanks. I’ve just been using the volume control on the keyboard. Glad there is at least one more way.

Here’s a pretty thorough walkthrough and explanation of this using the left scroll wheel.

This workaround no longer works!!!! It will go down to 144p but not up! It seems like they intended this after all!!!! This is absurd! I pay 10.99 for nothing now.

Did you try pressing left? On my car, it's reversed from what you'd expect. Pressing right lowers the resolution and pressing left raises it.

Mine has been defaulting to higher resolutions for weeks now. Still using a mobile interface instead of the old desktop one but after doing the scroll wheel thing a few times it seems to be showing me at least 1080 if not 1440 without doing anything.

Doesn’t it all depend on the native uploaded video resolution? I mean, if a YouTube vid was only 360, trying to force it to a higher res wouldn’t be possible.

False alarm. I didn’t watch YouTube for a while and then I forgot that you have to keep pressing left past 144p. I’m dumb. My bad y’all.

I’m still stuck at nothing better than 360 and it looks horrible. Running the prior beta. Hopefully this gets resolved. It’s basically unwatchable.

You've tried the scroll wheel to change resolution?
Click on the gear icon, click the resolution, scroll left to 144p, keep scrolling left for all the high resolutions.

Anyone on 2023.6.9 and able to see if the new browser version fixes this?
