How footage looks

Video quality is how good a video looks and sounds—the clarity, sharpness, and detail of the image and audio.

It depends on resolution, bitrate, compression, and display capabilities.

The video quality on this stream is terrible—it keeps buffering.

Higher quality requires more bandwidth and storage: I downloaded the 4K version for better video quality.
