Luckily, the YouTube application offers several possibilities for you to <strong>Users can manage the amount of data they want to spend<\/strong> in playing videos through our mobile phones <a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/iphone-x-how-to-capture-the-screen-and-edit-the-image\/\"><strong>iOS<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/how-to-improve-the-performance-of-your-android-smartphone-with-clean-master\/\"><strong>Android<\/strong><\/a>, with networks <strong>3G<\/strong> and <strong>4G<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Activate high definition only through WiFi networks<\/h2>\n<p>YouTube videos offer various levels of quality depending on their resolution, ranging from <strong>from SD sizes to others in HD<\/strong> that require a greater amount of data for their reproduction. And if we choose to play all the videos in HD to take advantage of the current HD screens of our mobile terminals, it is possible that <strong>let&#039;s consume a lot more data in streaming<\/strong> than we would like. Luckily, YouTube offers us the possibility of <strong>limit HD videos only over WiFi networks<\/strong>, thus preventing HD playback over mobile data automatically.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"How to save data when watching YouTube videos on our mobile\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/07\/04\/youtube-app-01.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"How to save data when watching YouTube videos on our mobile\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To activate this option we just have to go to the section <strong>Setting<\/strong> from the YouTube application and activate the tab <strong>Limit mobile data<\/strong>. So, if we activate this switch, <strong>YouTube will limit HD videos only over WiFi connections by default<\/strong>. If we connect via WiFi, the system will offer us the possibility of watching the videos in HD automatically.<\/p>\n<h2>Change video resolution from the player<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond limiting the playback of HD videos on networks other than WiFi, YouTube also allows us <strong>choose the playback quality of the videos and their resolution<\/strong>; As always, the higher the resolution of a video, the more data it will consume from our connection. Thus, and from the YouTube video player itself, we can access the <strong>Playback options<\/strong> to configure the <strong>Video quality<\/strong>, choosing between the following resolutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>144p<\/li>\n<li>240p<\/li>\n<li>360p<\/li>\n<li>480p<\/li>\n<li>720p<\/li>\n<li>1080p<\/li>\n<li>Automatic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The higher the resolution, <strong>more data necessary for our connection<\/strong> for reproduction; Therefore, we recommend <strong>limit video quality and resolution<\/strong> if we want to save data on our connection.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"How to save data when watching YouTube videos on our mobile\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/07\/04\/youtube-app-02.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"How to save data when watching YouTube videos on our mobile\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Limit video upload quality<\/h2>\n<p>Although our mobile devices are not designed to upload videos as if they were a computer, it is possible that on some occasions we have no choice but to upload a video from our smartphone or tablet, which will consume a large amount of data if we do so. We intend to do it through mobile data. Once again, YouTube offers us the possibility of <strong>regulate the quality of video uploads<\/strong> through <strong>Setting<\/strong> and the box <strong>Upload quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if we access this option, a <strong>pop-up window<\/strong> with the following upload resolutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>360p<\/li>\n<li>480p<\/li>\n<li>720p<\/li>\n<li>1080p<\/li>\n<li>Original<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Obviously, the higher the resolution, the more data we will need to complete the upload of our video. Therefore, if we want to upload a video from our mobile phone with our data connection, we recommend <strong>choose the lowest resolutions<\/strong> possible.
