Auto will just choose between SD and HD, so there is no larger range. If you have a recommendation on how to improve the labels we are open to suggestions.

There is (was) also a Slides-Only-ultra-low-Bandwidth-Stream, Auto will also switch down to that if there is not enough Bandwidth for SD.

Provided that the event records a separate slide-stream. Basically the AUTO quality will just switch between all the other qualities that are available in the dropdown.

It should be possible to show which quality is currently selected, but this won't be consistent across backends (e.g. HLS and DASH) and depend on OS/browser. Now that I think about it not even Youtube shows you the quality thats currently playing but rather the quality they are aiming for.
