Here at Twitch, we’ve experienced a massive surge in demand for viewing on non-web devices; such as game consoles, tablets, and mobile phones. We want your viewers to be able to watch in all these places, so we’re making changes to our infrastructure to service this growth.
Moving into the future, we will require the following settings:
Video Requirements
- Codec: H.264 (x264)
- Mode: Strict CBR
- Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
Audio Requirements
- Codec: AAC-LC or MP3, Stereo or Mono
- Maximum bit rate: 160 kbps (AAC), 128 kbps (MP3)
- Sampling frequency: any (AAC), 44.1 KHz (MP3)
These configurations are already supported and are active by default in the latest versions of our most popular broadcast software options.
To help you determine whether your stream settings are compatible, we’ve added a new ingest feedback feature on your Broadcast Dashboard.
