maximum resolution in Invidious is 720p even 1080p is supported when goes to youtube. Are there some technical limitations?

You can watch 1080p if you set "dash" as your default quality in preferences, or by adding `&quality=dash` to the end of a video URL. The reason it isn't enabled by default is that it requires proxying streams, which is more bandwidth intensive[0].

You shouldnt need to proxy anything, there are in browser js muxers that can splice separate video/audio streams into one, or find jsvideo player capable of playing it directly.

Yes, 720p and past is only stored on the google servers with audio and video seperate. So, the only way to watch at those resolutions is for invidious to pass through the video.

I think there is a plan to get 1080p working though

I would consider 1080p less important than a 360p fallback for videos without 720p source at all.
