There is nothing worse than having poor video streaming quality. Issues can be blamed on the device being used, the router, or the internet service provider (ISP). Google has a solution to find a solution for folks in the United States: the Video Quality Report. While it was previously available in Canada, it is now available here as well. The Video Quality Report is primarily meant to help with YouTube streaming, but users can use it as an indicator for anything else.
Here are the different levels of quality:
- HD Verified: If your provider can consistently deliver HD video, a resolution of at least 720p, without buffering or interruptions–it’s HD Verified.
- Standard Definition: If you can watch videos at a resolution of at least 360p, your provider is delivering Standard Definition.
- Lower Definition: If videos load slowly or frequently buffer, even at resolutions lower than 360p, your provider is delivering Lower Definition performance.
Experiencing an issue getting that high definition quality? Take a look at the infographic above. Google provides seven solutions for how you can the most out of your video streaming experience. Over time, Google does intend to add more countries to the Video Quality Report mix.
