YouTube is reportedly testing new video quality settings that will automatically adjust the playback resolution based on data-usage preferences. The new settings dropdown, currently being tested in beta, will be a departure from the current settings on YouTube that allow s to pick a specific resolution – between 144p and 4K – for streaming videos. The options that the new menu will reportedly include are auto, higher picture quality (more data usage) and data saver, along with an advanced option to choose a specific resolution.

As reported by YouTube video settings menu under testing will also specify the current resolution of the video on top. And will give s the option to select different default settings for streaming videos on Wi-Fi and mobile data.

The options are reportedly being tested on a beta version 15.45.32. It is unclear at the moment if YouTube will be rolling this feature out to more s in the coming days. The report also does not specify if the video quality settings menu will be altered for all s globally or limited to certain regions.
