Creators still get the choice to opt out if they want full control over how their videos appear.

Viewers will soon be able to pick between the original or enhanced video quality, with clear labels showing which is which.
Plus, YouTube added immersive previews for TV users, smarter channel searches, and handy QR codes on shopping videos for quick product details on your phone.
All these updates are aimed at making watching and exploring on YouTube smoother and more fun.
