As with any applications on your device, you’ll have a variety of first and third-party applications that can be set as your default apps. Here are the steps to make this happen:

- Click the **Windows icon** at the bottom left-hand side of the taskbar.
- Click on the gear icon to open up your **Settings**.
- Select **Apps**.
- In the left-hand column, click on **Default Apps**.
- In the right-hand side of the Default Apps screen, you can see the various types of files that will be opened by specific apps.

Changing your default video playback settings is also easy to do. From the **Video playback** option in the **Apps** section, you can enable streaming content at high dynamic range quality, process video for more enhanced quality, [play](https://www.colemantechnologies.com/blog/tip-of-the-week-four-tips-and-tricks-within-the-google-play-store/ "play") back video in either a high or low resolution based on preference, and change how video is played based on battery life. You can pick from prioritizing video quality or battery life--whichever you prefer.

Before making any changes to your computer, we recommend speaking with the technology professionals at COMPANYNAME. This prevents you from making any changes to hardware or [software](https://www.colemantechnologies.com/blog/why-is-it-super-important-to-keep-your-software-updated/ "software") settings that could cause frustrations for you and your staff.
