According to YouTube, when a video has poor quality, it's not their fault, but mainly the Internet service providers (ISPs) and then the users themselves.
This claim by YouTube is based on the fact that the videos are stored on servers around the world and what the provider has to do is get the data from the closest server.
If the provider does not have a large capacity on its servers, then the video will be delayed in reaching the user of the service, resulting in it being viewed in low resolution, and therefore poor quality.
Also, the user's faultis when, for example, on a home network, a user consumes all the bandwidth and does not allow the YouTube user to watch the video in high resolution.
YouTube has released the Google Video Quality Report tool , which, initially in the US and Canada and in more countries in the future, can and does record "bad" Internet providers , collecting anonymous data from user connections who visit it.
The tool also explains how uploading videos to YouTube works, as well as suggests ways to ensure smoother playback, providing solutions to common problems.
