I make VR videos using Insta360 cameras with native resolution 5760x2880s - 5K. For two years every video shows up with 2880s 5K option. But between 27 Jun (last good) and 2 July (first bad) 5K option seems removed. Have checked many other videos from other people and found only *one* uploaded in July that still gives 5K resolution option. Note, I'm searching videos that specifically mention 5K or 2880, since, owner clearly expects them to be 5K.

Is there **any** communication or notice from YT about any change relating to this? Moved to premium creator feature or other such thing?? Anyone know?

I haven't been posting VR, but I've posted four 5k (5120x2880 in my case) videos in the last week and they all appeared fine... e.g.

(Which is perhaps my worst ever camerawork on YT...)

I only see 4K as the max using Edge and Chrome Browsers.

Oh you're right, it's changed...

This one:

Is still 5k.

I did note it was taking ages to process them, maybe it stops at 4k if they are very busy?
