    OK, another WP/YouTube question.

    Is there a way to force YouTube videos to be added as media to a page or embedded show at the maximum resolution?

    I've see tutorials saying to add ?vq=hd1080 to the end of the URL or within the embed code but this doesn't seen to work.

    ?vq=highres is seemingly the code for 4K

    It seems thought that the YouTube player detects the size of the current embedded player on page and if its smaller than the 4K or HD size then it won't show that resolution of the video.

    This is a royal pain in the arse as I'm wanting a wordpress site that can host 360 VR videos. And at the moment they won't play if someone comes to the site - they have to arse about with the player settings to get it to work.

    :S

    • the dimensions of the iframe container count as resolution reference. and try hd720sted
    • Will try the 720 but think it has to be more for 360VR.
      Iframe not in the page it's a bespoke player in the theme      microkorg
