Because of the coronavirus epidemic, most of the world is isolated, and this means that most people have free time to replenish. And as always, services like Netflix or Sotify will increase the traffic they have throughout the week.

YouTube is one of those platforms that will also experience an increase in the number of users during this time, and for this reason, as Netflix has done, YouTube it will reduce the image quality of your content so that the network doesn't work And all users can have a great experience, something that has already happened in Europe, but will now be spread all over the world, but rest assured, because you can change the quality yourself.
YouTube will reduce the default quality of your videos worldwide
Google knows that in the next few weeks YouTube daily traffic will increase significantly, and for this reason decide that will reduce the default quality of your videos to 480p, And it will do it for one month so users will not find any kind of problem with their connection to the platform, even though it won't do the same thing with Netflix.
And, while you're on Netflix you can't change the solution, YouTube gives us the option to do so, and unless we get into any first video we'll get 480p content, change its resolution to leave it at 720p, 1080p, 1440p or even 2160p. This limit is simply zero, and then you can change the resolution, so if you want to see the content in a higher resolution, no one will remember.

The fact is that in my case it seems a pretty good rating, because there will be users who don't bother to increase or decrease the solution, and this will help reduce traffic to the web a bit and that we can get a great experience despite the high number of connected users.
This is part of Google's steps to try to improve users' status, but as a company representative has already stated, They also work in conjunction with telephone operators and government.
"We continue to work closely with governments and telecommunications operators around the world to reduce speculation about this unprecedented situation."
Hobbies are a basic part so we don't get overwhelmed with this release time and be able to enjoy ourselves and complete our free time somehow, so we strongly recommend that you use this time to do all those things you usually say you don't have time,
