I use Youtube on deck in Firefox with youtube.com/tv in kiosk mode. Works really well, but I noticed even when I have a bigger screen connected I can only watch videos in up to 720p. It doesn’t let me select anything higher. Is that a YTTV thing or is there a problem in my setup?

I’ve got a legion go with Bazzite installed and now I’m curious. I’ll boot into windows after I boot into Bazzite and see if there’s a difference. At least then you’ll know if it’s Linux or YouTube.

Edit: So for me (granted I’m not on a steam deck but on steam OS for another handheld), it defaults to 720p but I’m using Firefox in desktop mode, and I have the option to change it to 1080p but only if I use a mouse to have over the video and select settings from the progress bar.

In windows (on the same device) it works just fine, and I can do 1080p premium on Firefox from windows 11. So it may be something stupid like needing to use the track pad, or it may be how you’re using Firefox in steam OS (as an app inside steam or some other way).

Edit edit: Randomly the sound quality is quieter in Bazzite (receiver and speakers set to the same volume level) than in windows, by a significant margin.
