In the options window u can use the Additional player parameters. There you can set the video quality. With youtube-dl --list-formats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<videohash> you can get the format codes. An example:

format code  extension  resolution note
249          webm       audio only DASH audio   72k , opus @ 50k, 5.49MiB
