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.
