YouTube announced new features for its TV application. Notably, the resolution of videos below 1080p will be enhanced using artificial intelligence. A significant change is also coming for content creators.
YouTube announced that videos uploaded below 1080p will automatically be upgraded to HD resolution with the support of AI, and 4K upscaling will be applied in the near future.
AI Image Upscaling for Videos Uploaded Below 1080p
YouTube states that the automatic upscaling will only apply to videos uploaded between 240p and 720p. The original video resolution will be preserved, and content creators will be offered the option to disable the upscaling feature. Furthermore, viewers will be able to see that AI image upscaling has been applied under the resolution settings, and they will also have the option to watch the video in the original uploaded resolution.
As screen sizes grow and 4K resolution is no longer a novelty, nearly every major TV brand offers its own AI upscaling method. However, YouTube’s opt-out option is noteworthy, given complaints from content creators that the platform applies unauthorized enhancements to videos, sometimes leading to unwanted visual artifacts.
Thumbnail Limit Increased
YouTube is also increasing the current video thumbnail limit from 2 MB to 50 MB to support 4K images. Larger video uploads are currently being tested with specific content creators.
In videos tagged with shopping products, viewers can now quickly purchase anything they are interested in by scanning a QR code displayed on the TV with their phone, and they will be directed straight to the product page. YouTube is also testing a feature that allows content creators to highlight products at specific moments in their videos.
