Introduction

Then you are on the correct help page to block the 60fps on all YouTube videos. This feature removes the 60fps for video quality such as 720p, 1080p, and higher.

What is frame rate (fps)?

Frame rate is the value of the measurement of how quickly a number of frames appear within a second, which is why it is also called FPS (frames per second). Motion pictures, TV broadcasts, streaming video content, and even smartphones use the standard frame rate of 24fps. How higher the fps, to more images there are in one second. And there more smooth the animation is, so no videos without stutter.

Note: Those older computers can not handle the high FPS such as 4K on 60fps. It can increase CPU usage if the hardware acceleration is disabled on your web browser. Which can lead to slow performance on your computer.

What are the benefits to block 60FPS on YouTube?

Blocking 60 frames per second (FPS) on YouTube can have a few potential benefits, including reducing strain on the eyes and reducing the amount of data used when streaming videos.

One benefit of blocking 60 FPS is that it can reduce the amount of motion blur in videos. This can make it easier to follow fast-moving action and can also help to reduce eye strain.

Another benefit is that it can reduce the amount of data used when streaming videos. This is because videos with a higher frame rate (such as 60 FPS) require more bandwidth and can use up more data. By blocking 60 FPS, you can reduce the amount of data used and potentially save money on your internet bill if you have a limited data plan.

It is also worth noting that some people may prefer a lower frame rate because it can make the video look more cinematic and less “smooth” which is sometimes desirable for creative reasons.

It is important to note that these benefits are mainly theoretical and there is no scientific evidence that blocking 60 FPS will have significant health benefits.
