Downloading by URL from Youtube will get the 720p version even if video is in higher resolution about webmgenerator

Can you provide the YouTube video url?

Sure, I was trying it out with this video clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPD0QOGTmMI
and same video but on Dailymotion
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x85szf0

Gets 720p on Youtube always

but 1080p everywhere else, Dailymotion for example.

But the video doesn't matter, really, it happens for every video from Youtube, and not for other websites.

In youtube's case the 'best' option currently being passed selects the best file with both audio and video, 22 in this list:

I'll expose options for other 'best' format sortings, including combining the best video+audio from separate files.

Oh I see, I didn't know that. Thanks again !
