Hi,
I'm using Mac Big Sur 11.3.1.
Sometimes YouTube got stucks in the middle of movie for a second and drops from 1080p to 360p. I need to choose manually 1080p in the quality button.
I have a high speed internet, so it's not the problem.
It doesn't happen on the app on iOS.
Why it happen?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
I tried the options that you suggested and it doesn't help.
Whenever that happens, it goes to a dark screen of video for a second and than go to 360p.
If I choose manually 1080p in the start movie, the dark screen also appear for a second and then goes to 1080p.
I see that there is a lot buffer when it happen and even though stuck to dark in the middle of movie.
Thanks,
Michael
