Everything You Need to Know About Cricket’s Video Management Settings
Hey there, Cricket users! If you’re ever curious about how to manage your video streaming settings, you’re in the right place. This guide dives deep into Cricket’s Video Management feature, tailored just for you to make your viewing experience as smooth as possible.
What is Video Management on Cricket?
Video Management is a handy feature that helps you optimize your video streaming experience based on the plan you’re on. For those of you with Cricket’s Multi-Month Unlimited, $60/month Unlimited, and $55/month Unlimited plans, your videos typically stream at standard definition (SD), which means speeds of about 1.5 to 2 Mbps. Although, depending on certain circumstances like network traffic or content providers, your streaming might be affected. If you’re ready to enjoy higher-definition video, you have to toggle the Video Management setting!
Who Can Access Cricket’s Video Management Feature?
Great news! Every Cricket customer with a plan that includes data can take advantage of Video Management. Just keep in mind that it’s not available for those on the Multi-Month Unlimited, $60/month Unlimited, and $55/month Unlimited plans. So, check your plan and get streaming!
Cost of Video Management
One of the best parts? There’s no extra charge for using Cricket’s Video Management feature. It’s included in your plan with no hidden fees!

- Network traffic at the time
Device Compatibility
If you’re worried about whether your device supports Video Management, here’s the short answer: it’ll work on any wireless device that can stream video—hello, smartphones! Just remember that some devices that can’t play video won’t support this feature.

Compatibility with Different Networks
You might be asking if Video Management is compatible with 4G, 4G LTE, and 5G networks. The short answer? Yes, yes, and yes! It’ll work seamlessly across all these networks, so you can enjoy your streaming experience regardless of the technology you’re using!
