YouTube video hosting intends to reduce the quality of video streaming in European countries this month. This is necessary in order to reduce the load on the Network, which jumped sharply after the transition of people to the "remote".

“We commit ourselves to temporarily switch all traffic in the EU to a standard default definition,” the company said.
According to Bloomberg, millions of employees were sent to work home, and therefore the number of people on streaming services for several days increased by 20%, and in Austria and Spain - by 40%.
Netflix's HD video quality will also be limited: according to their calculations, this will reduce traffic by 25%.
According to the latest data, the number of coronavirus victims in Italy exceeded 3405, while in China it died 3248. Since March 19, no new cases have been recorded in the Middle Kingdom, but it is impossible to say that the foci are localized. Over the past day, the number of cases around the world increased by ~ 20 thousand.
