When I upload a video to Facebook (not from Youtube, an actual video file), the Facebook player has a setting to play it back in "HD" via a button in the lower right hand corner of the player. Is it possible to get this "HD" setting to be the default when people click on the video? I was not able to find anything online regarding this, except this which doesn't even work (for me at least, I'm using Chrome if that makes any difference).

  • Wellll...I think that's only for viewing videos for yourself on your own account. This still doesn't solve how to set how it shows for others who watch a video I uploaded. The reason still being gronostaj's answer cited below.

It's not possible. Also note that not everybody has a network connection that allows to watch HD videos comfortably.

    It is definitely possible all the videos uploaded on GoPro facebook page play in HD by default. I just don't know how to do that.
