# Shortcode parameter to force HD?

 * Hi there.
 * I am trying to get this plugin to work in a way where it defaults to HD, when
   playing the video in the lightbox.
 * I read an earlier thread from four months ago where the moderator said:
 * > Hi, The hd option as a URL parameter works when you are viewing the video on
   > YouTube. It doesn’t work if you are playing it from your site.
 * But the thing is, at least in 2014 I know I can add this tag
 * &vq=hd1440
 * …in an <EMBED> code – and for sure a Youtube video will play in HD on my (or 
   any) site. It doesn’t have to be right from Youtube.
 * Is it simply the case that this plugin doesn’t support a special short code parameter
   to execute this exact same behavior?
 * I’m LOVING the plugin so far; this would be the icing on the cake. Any prompt
   advice is appreciated. (I saw some rumblings online that there might be something
   like HD=1 – but that does not seem to be working…
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi, video lightbox does not use embed code. I was referring to `hd=1` with a 
   direct link to the YouTube video.
 * If you are looking for advanced YouTube options please try our [Lightbox Ultimate](http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-lightbox-ultimate-plugin-display-media-in-a-fancy-lightbox-overlay-3163)
