Hi there,

Anyone have a good solution making youtube play in HD in a lightbox (responsive lightbox)?
Tried &VQ=720 and also the old &hd=1 parameter, no luck.

Thanks,
Jonas

Hi Jonas,

Can you please try this instead,

https://www.youtube.com/embed/cx4F8vMKk9E?vq=hd1080

options are:

Code for 1080: vq=hd1080;
Code for 720: vq=hd720;
Code for 480p: vq=large;
Code for 240p: vq=small;
Code for 360p: vq=medium;

Let me know how it works,

Cheers

Hi,

Tried vq=hd1080 and vq=hd720 but it will only force it up to 480p (of course my test videos are 1080p compatible).
Will probably go for Vimeo instead …

Hi There

Make sure you use https://www.youtube.com/embed/ as base url followed by the video ID,

If you use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= as base url, it might not works.

and yes, you can also use vimeo,

Cheers

Just figured this out… Make sure you have a question mark – ‘?’ between the embed code and the appended VQ=HD1080

Glad you found a solution, and thanks for sharing!
