Det har nyligen inkommit uppgifter om att Google börjat sänka kvaliteten för Chromecast när det kommer till kvaliteten när du inte använder enheten (när olika bilder visas alltså).
Detta för att minska belastningen på nätet. Det framkommer i ett meddelande som Google postat att man skrivit följande:
As many of you know, a lot has changed in the last few weeks due to the impact of COVID-19. With schools and businesses being closed, many people are trying to juggle learning and working remotely, balancing job demands with personal time, and keeping in touch with friends and family virtually.
Amid these changes, we’re all straining local internet resources and causing slower internet connections, which are resulting in dropped video calls and frozen screens. To answer the global call to prioritize internet bandwidth for learning and working, in the next few days we’ll be making changes to lighten internet usage and keep people connected.
We are changing the rotation speed of Ambient Mode photo slideshows on Chromecast and Displays, and slightly reducing the resolution of the images in those slideshows. These changes may not be noticeable, but we hope they will help improve internet speeds in your household and community. When internet resources are less inundated, we’ll return this setting back to its previous state.
Det ser ut som att Google sänkt upplösningen från Full HD till endast HD.
