Hello everyone,
I’d like to propose a feature that could significantly improve video quality on YouTube, especially for professional creators.
The idea:
YouTube could offer an optional setting, integrated into the YouTube Studio video editor (PC version), that allows creators with verified identity status to embed videos hosted externally (for example, via archive.org, IPFS or their own servers), without YouTube applying recompression.
This feature would enable creators to preserve the original visual quality of their videos, with no compression artifacts, no loss of sharpness, and no unwanted stutters caused by YouTube’s standard encoding processes.
Key points:
· Only channels with verified identity status would have access to this setting, ensuring control and reducing potential abuse.
· Monetization would continue as usual: ads (pre-roll, overlays, banners, memberships, Super Chats, etc.) would still function because videos would play within the official YouTube player.
· Playback statistics, analytics, and recommendation algorithms would remain fully functional since YouTube still controls the playback environment.
· This option would be accessible only through the advanced settings in the PC version of YouTube Studio, to avoid confusion or misuse.
Why this matters:
Many creators experience noticeable degradation in their video quality after uploading, especially those producing gameplays, animations, or highly detailed content. Allowing verified creators to use this feature would raise the quality bar on the platform and benefit viewers and creators alike.
If you support this idea and want better video quality on YouTube, please consider submitting similar feedback to YouTube’s official support channels via the “Send Feedback” option. The more voices they hear, the higher the chances of this becoming a reality.
Thank you for reading and supporting better video quality on YouTube!

I get your point, YouTube is a closed platform for many technical and business reasons. But my suggestion doesn’t go against that. It’s not about bypassing YouTube, it’s about giving verified creators a new, optional, advanced feature:they won't allow it, either use their servers or don't use their platform. In the mean time, content creators should offer their videos on bluray for the best quality for consumers.
I’m not asking to use external servers randomly. I’m suggesting the option to embed a video file (e.g. hosted on IPFS), but fully managed from within YouTube’s own interface.
The playback would still go through YouTube, respecting all ad systems, analytics, copyright checks, and visibility settings.
This feature would be restricted to identity-verified channels (not requiring 100k subs) and only available via the desktop editor, clearly labeled as an advanced feature.
The goal is not to "break" YouTube’s infrastructure, it’s to give creators a path to preserve visual fidelity without compromising monetization or viewer experience.
Ultimately, it’s about improving quality for viewers, without sacrificing YouTube’s control or business model.
So, did you send your feedback to YouTube? Even if you think they won’t implement it, enough public pressure could make a difference.
So, see, YouTube is the most global video platform, and many creators put their blood and sweat into their videos, videos made with a lot of hard work. Is it fair to disrespect that hard work? Is it morally right to spit on someone else’s effort?they won't allow it, either use their servers or don't use their platform. In the mean time, content creators should offer their videos on bluray for the best quality for consumers.
Hey, imagine you write a book with all your heart and hope, and in the end people come and start spitting on your book. Would you consider that right?
What I’m asking for is something reasonable, because there are more good creators than bad ones, and we just want to deliver quality content and have it reach people.
Why shouldn’t we be able to do that?
The excuse is that costs would be higher, yes, but what’s wrong with hosting videos outside the platform and then embedding them inside YouTube? Couldn’t they use similarity detectors to identify how alike the embedded videos are?
I’m tired of excuses, complacency, and low-quality videos. Enough is enough. Creators need to deliver their art as it is without having to abandon their home, which is YouTube.
