25 Mar – Starting from next month, YouTube will be reducing the default streaming quality of the videos on its platform worldwide. This means that when viewers start playing a video, it will play in standard definition (480p) quality as opposed to any higher quality they have set as the default, according to Bloomberg. However, this doesn't mean that the videos will no longer be available in high definition. Viewers still have the option to watch HD videos but they will have to switch to it manually.
