The enhanced bitrate for 1080p videos on YouTube is a feature available to Premium subscribers that amplifies the bitrate of numerous videos rather than augmenting the resolution, often resulting in a more detailed, crisper image with enhanced quality. This means that the amount of data being sent to the computer is increased, resulting in a higher quality video. The enhanced bitrate option appears for all users regardless of their subscription status, but clicking on it without a Premium subscription prompts a notification urging the user to upgrade for enhanced quality. The bitrate of normal 1080p videos is around 20000kbps, while 1080p enhanced is around 32000kbps. The enhanced bitrate one may seem a little bit less blurry and sharper, but it can be hard to find a difference. The enhanced 1080p for Premium subscribers is also rolling out on YouTube on living room-focused devices like Chromecasts and video game consoles.
