[Worlrl]

hey all.
just updated to Big Sur on my MacBook Pro 2016 13" non Touch Bar and wanted to check the YouTube 4k on safari but it doesn't show on videos as an option.
my MacBook doesn't supports it or I need to do any settings change?

thanks guys

You sure you're watching a video that is available in 4K? I just tried on my 2018 13" MacBook Pro, and 4K is there, working no problem.

I have a mid-2014 MacBook Pro, and it doesn't work either. I've tried everything and still not working. But on Google Chrome it works fine. Have someone founded the solution?

i had the same post and someone replied.. have you tried this option?

Try - Developer menu - Experimental features - WP9 SW decoder on battery (on) - Web RTC WP9 codec (on).

Safari 4K on Youtube not available. I had the option in Beta What changed?

My 2017 iMac Pro plays back 8K YouTube in Safari just fine.
