Resolution Other Than 360p?
- Jun 20, 2017
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1149 Microsoft Stream, optimizes for fast playback. Shortly, you will see other resolutions show up too. Also, it is smart, if your input video wasn't high quality we would not go higher than input video quality.
Hope this helps!
When first loaded the video, I was frustrated to see that it was only playable in 360p (the video looked terrible) ... but coming back +8 hours later, high definition was available... I'm happy!
Too bad the resolution selector doesn't offer some indication that it is "working on higher resolutions" or something to indicate that there WILL be a higher resolution coming soon.

Glad you figured it out. We did this so that we can get quick turn around from upload to playback. But it is confusing at first. Could you add an idea in the idea forum to make sure we capture how often this is an issue for people:
