A week after longtime YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki resigned, certain changes are already taking place at the video-streaming giant. Including YouTube's experiment on a higher quality 1080p option for its Premium subscribers. A Reddit user initially noticed a ‘1080p Premium’ option, then YouTube eventually confirmed that it is currently available to a small group of Premium subscribers. Pennington added that there are no changes to the existing quality offerings for 1080p resolution on YouTube. YouTube's standard 1080p bitrate is between 8 and 10 Mbps and can be blocky compared to Blu-rays (40 Mbps max) or original exports.
