The current equipment serves us both to work and to spend moments of leisure . Precisely for all this are the different sectors of software available at the moment. In this case, we want to focus on playing multimedia content such as the popular videos that most of us enjoy today on our PC.
In most cases this is something that we carry out from the most used operating system in desktop environments such as Windows. In fact, its developers do not stop adding new functions and improving existing ones so that we can enjoy the experience more. This is precisely the case that we are going to talk about next, something especially useful if we play multimedia video content on a laptop screen.
It must be taken into consideration first of all that one of the types of use that consumes the most battery is precisely this. We refer to the playback of videos on our laptop. What’s more, all of this becomes especially clear if we have a very high brightness on the screen and we also reproduce high-quality or definition videos. It is interesting to know that the more computer resources a certain task consumes, the general autonomy of the PC decreases. But as we mentioned before, Microsoft tries to make things easier for us in this sense with certain functions, as we will see below.
And it is that activating all the functionality of which we speak, we will be able to prioritize, either the quality of the video that we are playing, or the autonomy of the PC .
Autonomy or quality when viewing multimedia content on your screen
Thus, in the event that we want to customize one section or another on a Windows laptop, let’s see how we can do it. The first thing we should know is that this is something that specifically affects the reproduction of multimedia content in the form of videos. For all this that we tell you, the first thing we will do is open the configuration application through the Win + I key combination.
The new window that appears we will have to go to the System / Screen section. This will give us the possibility to click on the link that says Windows HD Color Configuration. Here we are going to find various parameters, all of them related to the optimization of the reproduction of multimedia video content. In order to achieve the objective that we seek in these lines, we have to scroll down in that window. It will be then when we find the section called Battery options, which is the one that interests us right now.
In this section we will find a drop-down list that allows us to establish the priority we need at that moment. We are referring to the possibility that the system itself prioritizes the quality of the video that we are playing, or the autonomy of the Windows computer. In this way and in a few seconds we will have the possibility to specify what interests us most at that moment.
There is no doubt that, if we do not have access to the electrical network and we want to continue watching the video, we will prioritize the autonomy of the PC. In the same way, this is something that we can always change when we can finally connect the laptop to a socket.
