How to set YouTube to always play high quality videos on smartphones, watch videos no longer blurred

A simple way to make the time for thinking of avoiding Covid-19 with your Youtube a little easier.

As previously reported, YouTube has just announced that the videos will be reduced to the default resolution, starting next month and will apply to all users around the world. YouTube says it will reduce the quality of user videos to help avoid bandwidth overload when more people are at home due to the Covid-19 epidemic.

By default, YouTube videos will only play at 480P resolution. If you want to watch the video in higher resolution, you'll have to manually customize it. However, if you don't want to change the video playback quality per view, here is how you can change the default YouTube video playback quality so that it always plays high quality videos.
