Why does the video player play videos in low quality?

[PRkid]

So someone post a video on FB, I click on it to watch it, the video player pops up, plays the video, but in low quality. So blurry that it makes me not want to watch the video any more. Is there another video player app that will maybe play it in higher quality, or maybe a setting somewhere?

I like Mx Player but its probably FB making the vid look crap tbh

I am going to give that one a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Most videos on Facebook are low quality to begin with. Most are uploaded via Phone and are usually limited in size.
