Why Your YouTube Videos May Be Blurry

WHY UPLOADED VIDEOS CAN BE BLURRY

Slow or Unreliable Internet Connection

When your internet connection is poor, YouTube will automatically play your video in low-quality. A faster internet connection is needed to play higher-quality versions.

A low-quality camera may also blur your YouTube video. For example, smart phones are often not compatible with converting and uploading to other platforms, so these videos often play back very blurry and pixelated.

Low Camera Quality

Video Processing During Uploading Process

When you’re uploading a video to YouTube, it only posts the lowest-quality version first. This is due to higher versions taking longer to process & upload.

If a video is unclear after a few hours or a day, the rendering quality may be low. Exporting video from editing software without rendering it appropriately causes this.

Computer Hardware Issues

Finally, computer hardware difficulties may cause fuzzy YouTube videos. To fix this, you’re going to want to access Adobe Flash Player, which is what plays YouTube videos on your device.
