YouTube's silky smooth 60FPS video is now ready for viewing!

Recommended Posts

YouTube promised that you'd see many videos playing at a brisk 60 frames per second this year, and it looks like the streaming site has made good on its word. While there were a few 60FPS test clips in the spring, you can now see regular uploads with silky smooth motion. There are some fairly strict conditions you'll need to meet before you see these high-quality videos, mind you. You'll have to watch in Chrome at HD resolution, and the content providers naturally have to upload 60FPS content in the first place. Provided all the stars align, though, you're in for a good time -- it's not often that you can watch video game replays at the same quality that you'd get from a console in your living room.

No quota on fiber internet here, so this is great.

Advances in technology won't to stop and they shouldn't be bothered about your internet quota. It's up to your ISPs to upgrade your download cap or get rid of it all together and provide better internet speeds as well while they're at it.

i cant notice any difference in this and those normal fps vids :/

It only works in HD/FHD and you need either Chrome, Safari 8, IE 11 or Opera (HTML5 player) and Firefox with some tricks.

You probably didn't watch it in HD at 60fps. There is a clear difference between 30fps and 60fps videos.

Just switch between 480p and 720fps60 on the same video, the difference is night and day.

Also check the stats to see if it's actually running at 60fps.

Chrome-only? Nice try Google, better luck next time.

It's not restricted to Chrome, works in Safari 8 and Internet Explorer 11 as well, with support for other browsers expected soon. The browsers need to support this feature for it to work. https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/2kps1x/youtube_rolls_out_60fps_support/

Works in Firefox and Opera too if you switch to the HTML5 player. https://www.youtube.com/html5

For Firefox you also need to set media.mediasource.enabled to true in the about:config page. This is already enabled by default in Firefox 36 Nightly.

While Firefox is my main browser, I still have Chrome and other browsers installed just in case there is some content that doesn't work properly in one browser. You don't have to stick to just one product/service.

What is this limited bandwidth that you people speak of? Where I live, internet is priced and limited by speed, not data size.

mobile plans work like this all over the world...even if they tell you it's unlimited.
