adjust video quality based on a user's available bandwidth


How I can auto adjust video quality based on a user's available bandwidth? And is there a feature wich automaticly changes the video quality by JWPlayer (i.e. I only provide one for example 1080p mp4 link)?

It sounds like you are seeking the behavior of an adaptive streaming video – https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1430240

You are welcome to upload a video file to our platform to use an HLS video file.

Thanks Daniel, It seems like I have to provide different sources (different qualities) by myself but what I was asking is if there's anyway I could provide only 1 format (e.g. 1080p) and JWPlayer could itself adjust the quality automatically. Is that do-able?

You are welcome. Yes, that behavior is possible. Please upload a video file to our platform. We will then transcode the original video file into multiple quality levels (including into HLS format). Here is a document to assist you in uploading videos to our platform: https://developer.jwplayer.com/jw-platform/docs/developer-guide/management-api/uploading-videos/
