        By default qualities menu is displayed separately in control bar. You can also order to display it as setting submenu by setting nuevo plugin option qualityMenu: true.

        Code Setup

        <script>
        	var player = videojs('player_1');
        	player.nuevo({ 
        	    qualityMenu: true,
        	});
        </script>
        

        The HD or 4K icon appears for videos of minimum 1080p resolution. This is what Youtube apply as well.
        HD icon for resolution > 720 hase been depreciated, however the user may still decide about minimum resolution to show HD icon.
        <script>
        	var player = videojs('player_1');
        	player.nuevo({ 
        	    minhd: 720
        	});
        </script>
        
        For HLS and MPEG-DASH streams quality switcher appears automatically if only multiple variants of media defined in playlist file.
        Check this qualityhls.html example.
