This past April marked a major milestone β YouTube turned 20 years old! Since its launch in 2005, YouTube has transformed the way we consume content, offering everything from music videos and movie trailers to educational content and personal vlogs. Over the past two decades, it has grown into a global platform used by billions every day.

As we celebrate this incredible journey, it is the perfect time to enhance how we experience YouTube. That is why we are thrilled to announce a new YouTube video tutorial series that helps you get the most out of the Turn Off the Lights browser extension βor just getting startedβthis video series is for you. All videos are available in English, and audio is dubbed in French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish.
Whether you are using it to dim the background while watching videos, to protect your eyes during nighttime browsing, or to get more control over your media playback, this extension is packed with powerful features that can dramatically improve your online viewing experience. And today, the first tutorial is live!
YouTube Video Tutorial – How to Enable YouTube AutoHD
The first tutorial focuses on one of the most requested and beloved features β YouTube AutoHD. We understand how frustrating it can be when videos do not automatically play in high quality. With AutoHD, the Turn Off the Lights extension ensures that your YouTube videos start in the best resolution available, every single time. No more manual clicking or adjusting settings for each video! And no potato video quality for each YouTube video.
In the tutorial, you will learn:
- Where to find the AutoHD feature in the Turn Off the Lights settings
- How to choose your preferred resolution (such as 1080p, 4K, etc.)
This video is perfect for both new users looking for a quick way to improve their viewing experience and advanced users aiming to fine-tune their setup.
What is Coming Next?
The YouTube AutoHD tutorial is just the beginning. In the coming weeks, we will be releasing more videos covering the essential and advanced features of Turn Off the Lights. These tutorials are short, clear, and packed with value. Here is a sneak peek at whatβs coming up:
