If you watch YouTube videos and have a high speed internet connection, then chances are you would always be clicking on YouTube controls to increase the resolution of the video being played. But what if every YouTube video started in the High Definition mode automatically ? This can be achived through Auto HD For YouTube, a Chrome extension that allows you to specify the resolution for HD video from 720p or 1080p.
What Is Auto HD For YouTube ?
Auto HD for YouTube is a Chrome extension that forces YouTube to automatically run videos in HD mode whenever available. You can specify the resolution from 720p or 1080p and it will automatically run HD videos in the specified resolution. Moreover if HD resolutions are not available then it will select the highest possible resolution for your videos. You can even specify to widen the video player which will increase the width of the video player to give you a better viewing experience. UPDATE The extension now gives you the option to choose any resolution from 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p or 1080p. Whichever you select will be used by default for all YouTube videos.NOTE
When you install the extension it will automatically open a Paypal page for donation. This is not a paid extension and the donation is completely optional. Link Auto HD For YouTubeVerdict
YouTube is the most popular and the best for watching videos. I watch around 20-30 daily on YouTube. But YouTube by default starts videos at 360p resolution, which is not acceptable while on a good internet connection. So I wanted something which can automatically tell YouTube that I wanted a high resolution video and this is exactly what Auto HD For YouTube does.
