Thanks for reaching out. On mobile you can change the video quality within the app settings. On Desktop, there are no dedicated settings for this, so the app will try and play the highest possible quality, so what you get depends on the speed of your internet connection. Ultimately, it also depends on the quality provided by the uploaders themselves.

Hope this clears things up.

Pretty bad and annoying you can't change the quality to reduce it to save on data when you only want to listen to a podcast that has a video attached to it. The lack of a search feature on channels on desktop is annoying too. So far my experience has been mostly being annoyed, bad sign.

When you press the reload option as I showed you, the quality of the music videos will change to the best. After some time, the problem will return, so you have to do it again. The quality of music videos does not upload to the best because we are constantly changing audio to video, so if you make a playlist with only music videos, there will be no quality problems

How fast does internet speed need to be? I have 2Gbit download bandwidth and podcasts look about as good as my cat vomit.
