YouTube launched 60fps (frames-per-second) video playback just a few months ago (in 4K nonetheless), and today they’re launching 60fps live streaming for HTML5-compatible browsers.
When you start a live stream at 60fps, YouTube will transcode (read: convert a media file from one format to another) it into 720p60 and 1080p60, offering viewers buttery smooth playback in fast-action content, such as Call of Duty or Battlefield 4 streams.
However, some smartphones don’t support 60fps. No worries–YouTube will make the stream 30fps for those who aren’t able to view high frame rates. While not all devices will get 60fps playback, YouTube is working to support more devices in the coming weeks.
So, what does this all mean for content curators? You’ll be able to provide better quality content to your viewers, especially when in terms of gaming streams where there are a bunch of fast-action movements going on. Quality improvements will probably be more noticeable in more competitive gameplay on titles like Call of Duty and Battlefield 4.
These are the latest improvements to YouTube, making their service a more seamless and quality experience.
