Resolution & Bitrate Guide
For more information on balancing quality and latency, please see this blog post.
Recommended Bitrates per Resolution
The following recommendataions correspond with a framerate of 24 or 30fps.
| Resolution | Maximum (kbps) | Recommended (kbps) | Minimum (kbps) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (1920x1080) | 6000 | 4500 | 3000 |
| 720p (1280x720) | 4000 | 2500 | 1500 |
| 480p (854x480) | 2000 | 1000 | 500 |
| 360p (640x360) | 1000 | 750 | 400 |
| 240p (426x240) | 700 | 400 | 300 |
For 2K and 4K resolutions, you will want to use 60fps.
| Resolution | Recommended (mbps) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 4K (3849x2160) | 35-465mbps | ||
| 2K (2048x1440) | 16mbps |
Note: if you broadcast a high resolution stream with a low bitrate and/or framerate, then the quality of the stream will drop significantly, and some browsers may resize the subscriber video.
