When will the YouTube app support 4K video on Xbox One S?

Hi fishLuke!

Unfortunately, we don't have information regarding YouTube as that's up to the developers.

If you have any other additional Xbox support questions, please let us know!

I don't believe the XBOX One S supports 30Hz at 3840X2160. My 4k doesn't support 60Hz but does support 50Hz, 30Hz, and 24Hz and I can't get anything on the XBOX One to work in 4k, including setting the TV Resolution. YouTube will not offer the option to
play in 4k and Media Player provides a green screen when playing a 4k MP4. There is no 30Hz option that I see in the Advanced Video Settings.

Youtube offered an update for the PS4 PRO just in time for the release. Its a shame that google won't release a patch for the Xbox One S to support 4k. We bought an 4k streaming console and the only app that supports 4k is NETFLIX :-(

Hi

But in spite of the difference of the codec version, can you see 4k videos in youtube in your Xbox one S?

The Xbox One will only output at 1080p

The Xbox One S features 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, 4K video streaming and High Dynamic Range (HDR) for games and video. In addition to supporting 4K video content when used in conjunction with a 4K TV, Xbox One S will also upscale non-4K content
to display at 4K when paired with a 4K TV. When you set your console resolution to 4K UHD, everything on the console — Home, games, and apps—will display at 4K. 4K content is displayed in its native 4K resolution, and other content (like 1080p content) is
upscaled to 4K.

The Xbox One X - 4K content is displayed in its native 4K resolution, and other content (like games encoded for 1080p) is upscaled to 4K
