Playing HD Videos in Youtube mobile

[Rahul Poddar]

With Youtube App no longer working, I have been accessing the Youtube Mobile site for new content on my Lumia 720. Sadly, it does not allow to play HD videos. Now, sometime back, I could see a link on the left of the video (before I hit play) which on activating would stream the video in HD, but now I am seeing is the non-HD stream only. If I am missing a setting here, pls guide.

Best,

Rahul

Hey Rahul, you can try out a couple of apps to play HD videos on your phone. Here's a couple of the most popular apps that both have trial periods:

myTube | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United Kingdom)
Metrotube | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United Kingdom)

Thanks.

However, i am still at a loss to understand why the HQ link which used to appear at the bottom has disappeared and no more I am able to play HD videos on the youtube mobile site,

Yeah they seem to have removed the HQ option. Not sure if it's only for windows phones though...
Also MetroTube has stopped loading material from YouTube as well... Anyone else noticed this?

Metrotube, in settings make sure that the play mode is set to HQ Quality.

Look up Youtube HD in the app store and it should give you an option for hd
