HD Video Quality

Videos we have available in high definition will play in 720p or better with a fast enough internet connection. To watch in HD, ensure your video quality setting set to HD in the Playback Settings in your My Account.

Bandwidth Usage

Higher quality video uses more bandwidth than lower-quality video. If your service provider applies a bandwidth or data cap to your Internet service, you can adjust your video quality settings to a lower quality to consume less data.
