However, it seems YouTube could give users the option to choose from different audio bitrates. Here are the options that might be coming:
- Auto: It will probably adjust audio based on your internet speed.
- Normal: The standard audio quality, which might be what you are used to now.
- High: A higher bitrate for clearer sound.
As you can see in our latest video, there’s no audio quality adjustment yet (not that it’s needed for our videos, wink, wink), but a future update might add it. | Video credit – PhoneArena
After all, out of YouTube’s 2.5 billion active users, only about 100 million are Premium subscribers, so I think it makes sense for the company to try to get more users to pay for extra perks.
Also, it is worth noting that the ability to adjust audio quality might not be available for every video and could be limited to certain content. Plus, better audio quality could mean more data being used, as well.
Still, I think it would be great to have the option to select audio quality, the same as we have the option to change video quality. And honestly, I think it is nice to see major tech companies working on updates that actually benefit users, instead of just getting caught up in the latest AI trends that don’t always make a real impact.
