  Hi all. Although I’m using:

  [youtube=URL&hd=1]

  syntax, the embedded video is not in HD, the user still has to select the quality option…

  Question is: is this something related to the theme? Or is this WP? Should I try any different syntax?

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The resolution for YouTube embeds will be determined by the width they are in your theme. If they are defaulting to 480 then that is the maximum resolution that can be displayed in your theme’s width.

  If you make any video full screen you should see the HD options. Switching to a wider theme like Modularity Lite which has a 900 px wide layout would let you embed larger resolutions as well.

  @kardotim, I heard different from another engineer on another topic – http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/topic/embedded-youtube-videos-in-hd?replies=4#post-31561

  It seems to be something to be escalated to the developers…

  Thanks!

  You are correct. It seems our developers are working on this now. In this case please keep further communication in the other thread.

  Thank you!
