144p

Barely visible video

144p is a video resolution of 256×144 pixels, the lowest quality commonly available on streaming platforms.

Videos at 144p appear blocky and blurred, useful mainly when bandwidth is severely limited: My connection was so bad I had to watch it in 144p.

The "p" stands for progressive scan, distinguishing it from older interlaced formats.
