Upload to Youtube at 360p not 720p

by 9999

I have created videos that are 720p & 1080p but when I upload them to Youtube for clients they always play at 360p. I can click on the tab to view it at a higher resolution but I would like them to automatically play at 720p. Is there any way of making this happen?

Thanks

    I believe YouTube selects the best resolution based on your available bandwidth...could be wrong though.

    Youtube playback is based on the bandwidth of the person watching the video.

    At home many videos for me default to 720p

      Same here. It always defaults to 720.

        Thanks for the replies.

        Another question:

        For SEO value, is vimeo or youtube better? My feeling is youtube.

        I am going to be uploading a series of videos to youtube or vimeo, keyword optimizing them then embedding into a website.

    Try this...

    Beneath the Youtube player click on the "Share" button. Then click on "Options" and in the drop-down menu check "HD link." Copy and paste the link to your webpage.

    Here's an example using the trailer "A good day to die harder". I have a wicked fast internet connection yet the "default" resolution comes up at 480p:


    Doing what I stated above gives you this:

    A Good Day to Die Hard - Official Trailer (HD) - YouTube

    This leads me to my next question.

    Say if I have a blog, I write content for this blog post which is optimized. In the same blog post, I embed my youtube video and copy & past my blog post content into the description box in youtube. I will also fully optimize the youtube video for my local keywords. Would this be seen as duplicate content?
