I recently got into AV1 research and see that Youtube pretty much supports AV1 on resolutions 1080p and higher automatically, and can be somewhat forced on lower ones. youtube-dl can also help I have 3 laptops - legion 5 pro (i7 13700H, RTX 4070), macbook pro 16 M3 pro, and a work laptop which is a chromebook (AMD Ryzen 5 5625C, no dedicated gfx on chromebooks and thats partially why I hate them) TL;DL - macbook and legion should have no problem decoding AV1 on YT or otherwise and do not, but my question is why / how can my chromebook do it? AFAIK Ryzen iGPUs didn't have AV1 hardware decode till the 6000 series, which leads me to believe decode is being done in software. If so AV1 decode at 4k should be the tallest of tasks for my chromebook with 8gb ram and R5 5625c. Plus the CPU usage barely crosses 20% while I play the video. Video is a 4K youtube video decoding in AV1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38XMIMrIg_g) Someone decipher please...

Noticed today that from time to time my YT looks like it's straight out of Roblox or one of those community servers where people watch a video all together, bitrate being really low and super blocky. Tried on a non adblock brower, yep! All the videos are pristine quality. Haven't noticed this before and not seeing too many results on search engines about this. Is this something new YT is trying? Or is this some bug that just so happened to appear today? Video I recorded for reference, both clips inside YT have been set to 1080p, well "standard" unless I want to pay for a better bitrate. Or is this how they're enforcing the new bitrate premium? This bad quality is inconsistent. Channels from millions of subs to less than 10 range have this sort of quality like on a dice roll.

I think this is a pretty common issue, so Im hoping anyone has a fix. I have a pretty good PC and over 270mbits Lan. Even though I have a great setup, after ~5 youtube videos in the same tab, doesnt matter if I press on the YouTube homescreen or click one one Video after another. It always starts lagging, 6th video is kinda fine, after a few seconds, but after that it really lags and needs 10 seconds to load. But, if i open a second tab in the same window, everything works fine again, even if I copy the lagging video form the first tab to the newly opened one. Im guessing is has something to do with the cache or ram? I could be rong and Im definetly open to ideas how to fix it.

Hello all, I have a moto G53 and whenever I open the Youtube app, all video thumbnails are in colour it's just when I play the videos they go into black and white. It's only the Youtube app which acts like this, other apps such as VLC, YouTube in chrome or google photos all play media in colour. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, might just be a buggy version of Youtube. So far I've reinstalled the app, cleared storage and cache. Only thing I haven't done is factory reset my phone. If anyone has any ideas on how I could fix it then let me know, cheers.

Every time I watch Shorts, the area where it normally shows the title, channel, etc is completely broken and the formatting is messed up. I attached some example screenshots. Anyone know why? Works fine on Firefox: I really don't want to clear my cookies/cache/site settings because that might mess up notifications, accounts and passwords, etc.

It's been a bit of a journey today, I've been trying to find somewhere where I can genuinely start a thread and discuss this, I didn't end up watching today's LTT video because, I had to reach for my remote control to dismiss this pop-up. For context I am a YouTube premium member, and I tend to prefer to consume my content on my couch using the official YouTube app, my partner pays for it because I had a rage fest over the number of ads that are on it, someone could say this thread is about the value proposition of YouTube premium, - I don't think it's worth it. There are still ads that show up from time to time. It would be nice if they could give me the option to disable this 'shop' products pop-up. It seems to be appearing in every other video that mentions a product, and it makes me rage every time I see it, because I then need to hunt around for my remote control to dismiss it otherwise it is prevalent and throughout the entire video. - I have YouTube premium so I'm already paying money to hide ads but, from my perspective, I feel like this is an ad. They also need to understand that there are certain videos in which this pop up is inappropriate. - unless you guys are keen to buy some asbestos drip. My question to LTT: Do you have a mechanism to enable this pop-up from the YouTube back-end? Do you receive any kind of Commission if I was to follow the instructions within this pop-up? Now that I've cooled down, I might try and re-watch of the video...

Good day... How should I say this; it feels like Google is screwing over Firefox in YouTube yet again (?) For some reason searching videos in YT Firefox is awfully inaccurate compared to doing so in Chrome/Chromium-based browsers. I've tried searching for "Bring me to Life" by Evanescence. Searching in YT Firefox never shows the official video unlike in Chromium-based browsers. Made a few more attempts and searched a bunch of songs; most of the time it's a miss wherein reaction videos/covers are being recommended in YT Firefox unlike in Chromium-based browsers.

Hello everyone. Recently I've noticed a green bar appearing on top of videos whenever I'm on youtube, it only started a few days ago. My assumption is that my 'monitor' (which is a 1080p tv at 32") is just faulty overall. Im running a Ryzen 7 5700G and no discrete GPU, I'm connected through the HDMI port. It will appear in one video, disappear for the next 4~6, and then reappear again. Any ideas?

AdBlock - Webpages and YouTube lag/stuttering is there a fix? I have been using AdBlock for many years now, No issues until a couple of days ago... I have YouTube Premium and never had issues with AdBlock most likely cause of YouTube Premium but i fear YouTube is limiting YouTube even though i am paying for Premium... I am trying to adjust AdBlock by disabling it just for YouTube but for some reason YouTube is still running terribly, Only when i disable AdBlock or run in Incognito mode does YouTube runs like normal, Does anyone have advice for me what i should do in order to have YouTube on Chrome work without issues but still have AdBlock working for general Internet use? I am also open minded to trying other Ad Blockers if there are better ones out there,

Summary Via a video uploaded on the 1st of January 2024 at 4pm UTC, precisely a decade after his first upload at 4pm UTC on the 1st of January 2014, Tom Scott has announced that he is stepping back from his YouTube channel indefinitely. This marks the end of a 10-year, one-video-per-week streak for his channel. He will still be producing his newsletter and podcast, but the main channel will no longer be updated (unless Tom sporadically decides to). Tom Scott has made videos on various topics from Computer Science, to linguistics, to random experiments and skits, to (more recently) interesting places, feats of engineering, and projects. He has probably been one of the platform's longest and most consistent content creators, and now he's decided that a decade is enough; he kept up the channel uninterrupted for 10 years, and that's a nice point to end on. Quotes My thoughts Tom Scott is one of the OG YouTube creators. I have been following him from when the website looked very different, through university and into working, and now all good things must come to an end. I personally think it is good to see someone go "this is making me happy, but I'd also like to relax" and bow out after 10 years of improving their video and production skills, and highlighting a bunch of different, odd, fun, and interesting projects and ideas to people who might never otherwise have heard of them. Tom Scott will be missed, for sure, but better to end on a high note / slightly too soon, than burn out, crash, and/or start something bigger, which he explicitly said he doesn't want to do. Reading through the comments, it is clear that he has had an impact on many well-known creators as well: electroboom, vlogbrothers, slo-mo guys, Gamer's Nexus, Jay Foreman, SmarterEveryDay, AbroadInJapan, Alan Walker, TEDEd, blenderguru, HowToDad, and many other well-known youtubers have left their comments saying thank you and goodbye.

So following many other creators, here is Venus Theory with another example of being slapped by YouTube for no reason: They're a musician with some philosophical content. Another instance of demonetisation of videos with little to no clarification - but I'll let the content speak for itself. I just thought I'd share this here to give them a bit more coverage - the video that got demonitised (linked below) is about big brands having their own music labels - I found it quite interesting

Summary A couple of months ago, YouTube started testing the waters with their "Premium enhanced bitrate" option on select videos, such as ones from late night tv shows like Stephen Colbert's; which actually just meant they lowered the bitrate for everybody but premium users on those videos. As far as I can tell, "1080p" videos with this "feature" enabled looks like they are 800p or lower. Thoughts It seems that premium only 4K was only the start, now even 1080p will be premium only, as its pointless to have a 1080p resolution with so low of a bitrate. Hopefully someone more knowledgable than me can analyse the situation further. It may be only for select regions for now(I'm from Turkey), I have no way to test currently. Update: The "feature" is being enabled retroactively, making the claims of this post more credible as it is less likely that youtube keeps masters of uploads instead of just their re-encoded versions. So they must be lowering the quality for free users instead of increasing it for premium users. Some videos with the "Feature" enabled: I've now found videos with this "feature" being enabled retroactively: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn8Ed7luPDA

So yeah...it seems i've been unsubbed, even though I didn't do it by myself. Did anyone have a similar experience? So far I've seen the company apologize and say they will try to do better. Which to me sounded genuine. I have also seen no evidence presented for allegations brought up. So I don't want to unsubscribe. Is this a Youtube thing? Or did someone get access to my account and unsub? I resubbed when I saw. If you're wondering.

This guy has some awesome positive and interesting content for his game studio "Pirate Software". He recently started to explode and then 20 days in YouTube seemingly cutoff his ability to get new viewers (see link for information). Thought I'd post here to try to bring this to LTT attention and have them reach out with more clout. Also please don't brigade or go with negative stuff to YouTube or others it won't help our cause.

Here is a link to my YT video, I would like to know why my video has drops in frame rates and what I can do to improve my video FPS quality. Was recorded with OBS, edited and exported with Camtasia Studio and uploaded onto YouTube. I played the game at 144 FPS (in-game settings) and recorded at 144 FPS with OBS all at 1920x1080 resolution. No lag during gameplay and recording, very smooth. All recordings are saved to my C drive which is a really good SSD. The recording was saved as MKV file and remuxed into an MP4 file and then uploaded onto Camtasia editor. In Camtasia editor, I did some editing and exported the video at 4K resolution because if you know YT, you know that YT re-encodes 1080p to terrible bit-rate and it was also exported at 60 FPS which is the max you can set to, and I cranked the quality up to 100% it seemed to do the best for me. The video was exported and rendered as a 4K 60 FPS MP4 file and uploaded to YT. But once uploaded, like fully uploaded, I noticed constant framerate drops that were not present during gameplay + recording and editing.

PC has solid airflow Windows 10 64bit Monitor is MSI not sure which, but is 1920x1080 res with 144HZ refresh rate. 16:9 aspect ratio Some help identifying the issue and improving the fps quality for my video would be great, thanks.

So around May (I think) I listened to a WAN Show where Linus had a merch message that asked why LTT (and I think other LMG channels as well) had stopped making YouTube Shorts. Linus replied to the message and said that they just didn't find it profitable enough for the time it took to make a Short. Recently, I've been seeing LTT create YouTube shorts (in fact, they uploaded one yesterday). Does anyone know what changed?

Hello y'all. When YouTube decided that it was over for the "sort by: oldest" feature on YouTube channels, many of us chose to download the "Sort by: Oldest" Chrome extension to return this functionality. Recently, the extension had been earmarked for end of life due to YouTube returning this functionality (seen here in the Chrome Extension page for the extension). Unfortunately, today many using the extension received a message that the extension now required permission to read website data on any website you visited. While the extension publisher notes that all data collected is for "internal clickstream use, not personal data," it is impossible to trust any closed-source platform with this data and I strongly urge anyone with this extension to delete it immediately and to not grant these permissions. If there are more updates to why this extension is overreaching its permissions, please reply to this post.

Hello. For a long time now (I believe, since I built my PC a year or so ago), I've been getting high temperatures just by interacting with the UI on YouTube's webpage. My PC has had good thermals everywhere else that I've seen, and since I always have a temp sensor runnimg, I can check constantly and would notice if I had issues anywhere else. (See below playlist for footage of other scenarios and their temperatures) This is a problem to me because I'll be watching a YouTube video and not moving the cursor or pressing any keys, and my temps will be not much higher than idle, (Low 30-35 degrees celcius) But as soon as I interact with YouTube's UI, especially the video player, my temps will spike. These spikes vary a decent amount going as high as 75 degrees celcius, but are usually around 60-65 degrees. So when I just want to adjust the volume or skip ahead, it'll spike and my fans will ramp up until I stop. This has been very annoying, and makes me not want to use YouTube at all on my computer, and instead opt to just watch them on my phone. Interestingly, It seems that this does not happen when watching an imbedded youtube video in Discord. This is the only embedded player I've tested it with though. I've recorded the issue along with recordings of other scenarios to compare temperatures with - Link to playlist HERE - Only the first video is important, and maybe the two after that. The rest are supplementary. I've tested mixes of other webpages (with and without video players), settings, entire browsers, and extensions, but it's always the same as far as I can tell. When I tested with a different browser, I tested it with default settings and configuration, so no extensions. Although uBlock, which I use on my main browser, actually improves the spikes. I even tried Opera's "Gaming Browser" thing which allows you to set a CPU/RAM limiter. I set the stricted limit I could, and while it lagged due to that limit, it still spikes my temperatures. You can find a link to my PC specs here: PCPartPicker For what is not on there, I'm on windows 10 64-bit, version 21H1 build 19043.1706. My browser was Chrome, but recently I switched to Brave. (As mentioned above, I've tried every browser I could think of- it happens on all of them). Extensions I use are uBlock and a popup blocker. Since the issue still happens with no extensions however, these should not be the issue. Also, I have no antivirus except Windows Defender. Thank you for anyone who takes the time to try to help me out with this. I'm pretty out of ideas and this issue has been annoying me for a long time. I've made a genuine effort to make this post as helpful to anyone reading it as I can, though I'm not happy with how much of a wall-of-text it is. I hope it is alright. TL;DR Summary: Issue - YouTube's web UI causes high temperatures while interacting with it. (Doesnt happen with embedded YouTube in discord?) What I've tried - Different browsers, extensions, settings. (Even OperaGX's CPU/RAM limiter) No other thermal issues in any other use-case with my PC. Somehow it's just YouTube.

I'm a YouTube addict. The issue, I need it to research frequently. This means parental control timers and site blockers don't work because I run into the blocked content and then need to disable the setting for a more legit reason. I want to find a way to make it so the more YouTube (or any site really) is used, I want to add incrementally more delay when loading new content. Make it so it's worse to use the longer I'm stuck watching content. Watching shorts for an hour? It takes 2 extra seconds to load each short. Something like that. Something that brings added friction to its use without getting to the point where I need to disable the controls fully.

On YouTube, in the community tab, when I post a post, it cuts out because the resolution is different. But on YouTube I write the photo to be in 2:5 or 5:2 format, but what resolution is it? I know that the 4:3 format has a resolution of 1024x768 or 1280x1024, such square monitors have certainly seen them.
