Video Quality Default Setting
Bumping this. The issue appears to be - at least from what I'm seeing - is that even though the sticky option is 'Auto' and there is no changing that, no matter how high your bandwidth speeds are, the video player will only ever play at 720p or less. I don't see why when i'm running at 20 MB/s speeds (which I currently am), the player shouldn't default to playing at 1080p. The Stream video player will never automatically display at HD, which seems dumb for a video player. Again, I know Microsoft is trying to save money here, and Stream probably isn't at the top of their priorities when it comes to products, but this is a video player and doesn't compare to tools like Vimeo. There's a big difference in impact that we're missing an organization because our videos don't display at their best resolution.
- I am experiencing the same problem with Microsoft Streams - every time videos are blurry because the Auto mode is on, and the video is streamed with 240p.
We ended up using Google Drive instead for storing and sharing videos. With overall Microsoft Sharepoint experience, we are leaning stronger and stronger with exiting this tool.- These are the same 2 videos stored both on Microsoft Onedrive and Google Drive:

Microsoft's one is automatically shown with 240p, and Google's one is shown with 1080p.
