Problem Description
When #2263 was opened up. I noticed how many issues were actually opened for the same request. So here we are making a big summary.
Why do we want this? Let say in the settings i have set my default video quality to 1080p. My internet provider is giving me a hard time today so while im watching a video i switch from 1080p to 360p in the video player. The next video should also run in 360p because i just have overwriting the default quality because my provider giving me a hard time.
I could write usecases for the rest but i assume u get my point. U change it in the player for a reason.
Proposed Solution
Player buttons from the left to right, that already do this.

 Volume
 Playback speed ¤
 Captions
 PIP ¤ (pending)
 Theatre mode ¤
 Fullwindow ¤ (pending)
 Fullscreen ¤ (pending)
 Video Quality
 Dash/Legacy/Audio Formats
 Audio Tracks (i.e., stable volume)

¤Persists through contiguous viewing session (i.e., until leaving the Watch page)
Alternatives Considered
I do understand that some people like it that the default settings overwrite the player settings when a next video is being played. We maybe could have 2 modes?

Player settings is always overwritten by default settings when another video is being player.
Player settings dont get overwritten and stay like u set them to be for that session.

Additional Information
I understand that this will be a difficult and long discussion. The point of this issue is to centralize the discussion to this issue instead of 8 other issues.
Allot of discussion has already taken place here.
Most important bit of discussion is the settings scope manifesto provided by @jasonhenriquez
