Did YouTube change anything?

Hi everyone.

Quick question. For a few weeks now I've been noticing that the quality of the videos I am watching went down a bit. I know that some content creators use high-end DSLR's, they are experienced in video making and know how to export stuff for YouTube. But for a while now most of their footage looks a bit grainy and not as slick as before. Any ideas if YouTube did anything to their player?

Not to my knowledge...have you tried watching it on different devices?

It looks good on the mobile phone. But when I check it on other laptops. It looks a bit grainy.

It could be your internet connection. Often, when service is slow, you'll get a lower-quality stream of a video. I've been disappointed in my video quality sometimes, but then when I watch at a less-than-peak time, it looks much better.

Maybe that's it. I noticed that my ping is sometimes jumping around like crazy. Should maybe check it out again -.- Thx for the tip.
