YouTube now allows you to watch videos at 60 images per second on mobile phones
The video platform of YouTube continues to improve its service for viewers. And it is that every time it has more competitors seeking to gain a foothold, especially in the field of video games A section that is booming with reviews, games and live broadcasts Perhaps for this reason YouTubehas taken a step forward so that everything goes more smoothly also through its mobile applications, one of the most used windows to consume its content.
Thus, just a few hours ago, those responsible confirmed the support for playing videos at 60 images per second also on mobile phones Something which, to date, was only available through the web However, now any mobile user already has an Android terminal or an iPhone, is capable of playing back videos recorded at this frame rate Anytime, anywhere. This is especially appreciable in video games and videogames, although it is increasingly available in other types of content such as vlogs(video blogs).
The good thing is that this improvement does not require updating applications for Android and iOS The change comes from servers, so users don't have to do anything. Of course, change the quality of the video to be able to play it with these characteristics. Just start playing a video and display the menu Settings by clicking on the button with the three dots. Here you only have to select the section Quality and choose 720p60 or 1080p60, depending on the quantity of pixels to be displayed, but paying attention to the number 60 which indicates that they are displayed at 60 images per second
This issue is not only an update of the quality standards that mobile devices are reaching and the different internet video platforms. You can also encourage the use of YouTube to the detriment of other services such as Twitch, which has been eating up ground and viewers on the video platform GoogleAnd there are more and more fish in this tank.
But what does it mean to have videos displayed at 60 fps? The answer is simple, but controversial: fluidity With reproductions at 60 images per second, the videos look more agile and fast, displaying more realistic, as it happens in real life. And, up to now, the videos have 30, 24 or 25 fps This means enjoying a more film-like experience , without fluidity but with the format that everyone has become accustomed to in the cinema However, with the proliferation of better cameras capable of reaching 60 frames, more and more contents are published in this format. A change criticized by purists but praised by those users gamers who like an image more in line with reality and more fluid. Something you just need to get used to, since YouTube does not give the option to choose large resolutions of image (1080p) without the option of 60 images per second, as long as that content so allows.
