I know there is this &hd=1 code to start a YouTube video in 720p. Is there a code or trick to add at the end of a YouTube video URL to start in 1080p?

Seems to be working again :)

Using an example:

before:

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecsCrOEYl7c

after:

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=ecsCrOEYl7c&vq=hd1080

note both:

  • watch_popup
  • &vq=hd1080

Other possible values can be found here:

You can also change the start time of the player by appending this (to 1 minute and 22 seconds in this example):

  • &t=1m22s

Some documentation can be found here:
