Dear YouTube Team,

I am a YouTube Premium subscriber, and I frequently use the YouTube app on Apple TV 4K. I would like to request an improvement to video playback when using increased playback speed.

Currently, when I set a video to 2x speed, the video quality drops significantly to 420p, even though my internet connection is more than fast enough to handle higher resolutions. This is frustrating because, when using AirPlay from my iPhone to Apple TV, I can watch YouTube videos at double speed and in the highest available resolution without any issues.

Since my internet connection supports this and the feature works correctly via AirPlay, I believe that the YouTube app on Apple TV should allow high-resolution playback regardless of playback speed. If this is a bug, I would appreciate a fix. If it is an intentional limitation, I kindly request that it be removed, as modern devices and internet connections can easily handle both increased speed and high resolution at the same time.

As a paying Premium user, I expect the best possible experience, and this limitation significantly impacts my viewing habits. I would greatly appreciate it if your development team could look into this and consider making it the standard behavior for the Apple TV YouTube app.

Thank you for your time and consideration!
