A minor update to YouTube for Android lets you select your streaming quality. Previous versions featured a simple toggle for high definition but it didn’t allow for specific control. With the new streaming quality menu, you can select anything under 720p.

While auto streaming quality usually works well, there are times where YouTube stutters trying to stream high resolution video. To stop stuttering, you can select a lower resolution stream to ensure smooth playback.
The update is rolling out now to Google Play.
