Steps to fix poor video quality in Google Chrome
1. Update Google Chrome
First, make sure you are watching the video in the latest version of Chrome. Please update Chrome browsers that support web technology for multimedia content. To do this, click the Customize Google Chrome button and select Help> About Google Chrome.
This will open the About Chrome tab, which will check for and install the updates. Click Restart after updating your browser.
2. Check the resolution setting for YouTube video
In most cases, poor playback quality on video websites is usually related to the video resolution settings. YouTube videos generally contain at least a few resolution alternatives that users can use to adjust the playback quality.
However, some YouTube videos will automatically play at a lower resolution such as 480p.
To increase the resolution, users can click the Settings button at the bottom of the YouTube video. Then select Quality to open the menu shown below. Select the highest video resolution from this menu.
To always play YouTube videos at their maximum resolution, add the Magic Actions extension to Chrome. Then, click on the Magic Options button below the video to open the tab in the screenshot directly below. Select the Enable Auto HD setting on this tab. Then select a resolution to play all videos and close the tab.
