YouTube Tests Video Compression Technology to Cut Data Use by 30%
YouTube is testing a new video compression technology that could reduce the amount of data needed to watch videos by 30%, while keeping picture quality close to current levels.
The technology is intended to make video delivery more efficient, allowing viewers to stream content using less data without a substantial change in the viewing experience.
If introduced, the reduction could be useful for viewers with limited mobile data allowances, helping them watch more content before reaching their caps.
The technology remains in testing. Details about its availability and which devices or video formats it might support have not been provided.
