Is YouTube 1080p Premium Available For All?

Not all the videos support the new 1080p Premium setting. As per the reports, the feature is currently supported on the videos which were uploaded with 1080p quality. Users will not be able to see Shorts, Live Streams, and lower resolution videos in 1080p Premium quality.

There is a lot of uncertainty about the new ‘1080p Premium’ as it can be seen by a select Android user and it is still unclear whether the Google-owned platform will roll out the feature for every user or not. The company has also not made any official statement at the time of writing.
