Is there a way to link someone to a YouTube Video in HD 1080p quality? As of right now, when linking someone to a youtube URL, the video defaults to 360p.
940
To force a specific video quality during playback, add the VQ parameter to the URL to specifically set the video quality, regardless of the window size. For example, using the code below causes the video to play at 480p by default. (The highest for this particular video.) Notice this URL uses the vq=large parameter.
Short Answer: Yes. Technical Answer: 1080p is 1920×1080 and 720p is 1280×720.
Yes there is:

Code for 1440: vq=hd1440
Code for 1080: vq=hd1080
Code for 720: vq=hd720
Code for 480p: vq=large
Code for 360p: vq=medium
Code for 240p: vq=small
UPDATE
As of 10 of April 2018, this code still works.
Some users reported "not working", if it doesn't work for you, please read below:
From what I've learned, the problem is related with network speed and or screen size.
When YT player starts, it collects the network speed, screen and player sizes, among other information, if the connection is slow or the screen/player size smaller than the quality requested(vq=), a lower quality video is displayed despite the option selected on vq=.
