This works because you are asking youtube for a higher quality video and then going behind it's back and resizing it to fit the space you desire. Note that essentially I added ?rel=0&vq=hd720p60Īnd made the iframe size large enough to demand hd.

So I altered what seems to have worked before and sure enough. I was looking for the answer to this question and when viewing the file I noted that it said 720p60 as the actual youtube setting. Of note, I didn't find the following code anywhere, I discovered it. Look up a current listing such as the one on h3xed to see the way youtube calls the files when embedded. I would recommend using a base size that would demand that size anyways and proceeding with step two to resize it. You can possibly edit the typical embed youtube iframe link using current standards. To look at the meta of what is going on, it seems that there are two generalities to the desired effect.ġ) You can try and 'hack' the iframe code itself.Ģ) You can try and create a container to trick the iframe into thinking it should display HD. It seems that the answer changes with time.

How do you make youtube videos in hd
