AV1 Encoding Support

AV1 encoding support should be a priority add to the website. AV1 encoding is a big improvement in visual quality to streams over CPU and GPU encoding options. Discord already added it, and I believe YouTube has it as well, it's very surprising to me that Twitch hasn't added this and there isn't even an ETA on it being added yet.

    Whats crazy is that the AWS video transcoding service provided by Amazon has been compatible with AV1 encoding since 2020. Almost 4 years later and there still isn't AV1 encoding for Twitch, a company literally owned by Amazon.

    It's pathetic that I'm forced to use a codec from over a decade ago... I think twich is fully aware that if they continue like this, someone will quickly take the opportunity to change the platform from twich to another one. How do I stop delivering low quality video? I guess it's in OUR interest that the recipient has the best? And I don't understand why it is shrouded in such great secrecy? In my opinion, this is extreme stupidity (lack of investment.) or sabotage, but a deliberate action of the competition. Instead of paying contractors, please improve your services. Best regards, Bartek.

    I am interested in the possibility of encoding with the AV1 and HVEC codec but with AMD 7000 series graphics cards. This will save a lot of bandwidth. I am a beginner streamer and I am ready to invest in access to a higher bitrate. Maybe being able to buy a better slot will satisfy the needs of the players. I'm sorry but HD is very low quality these days. My equipment allows for much more. All the best to the whole twich.tv team.

    Plz enroll me in the beta av1 I enjoy the environment steaming but my bandwidth just can't keep up even with all the equipment I've invested in. I need av1...... thank you for considering me.

    Nice to see the "Request Early Access" button on the "Stream Together Live on Different Channels" beta feature!

    Lets hope when AV1 is in beta they do the same

    The staff is not even reading this post, it's from 2022 and nothing was added

    I have an Arc Card and better Resolution and Lower bitrate would be Posible with AV1 Support i hope it will come soon
  • ChasePK commented  ·   ·  Report

    So still no response on this? AV1 is being supported on rival apps and the current hardware of gpus. Amazon is also a founding member of AV1 so you'd think them owning twitch would be a no brainier to enable this on their platfrom. Internet consumption would go down and quality of streams would go up, its a win win for both the platform and the consumer.

    This far into 2023 we would really like to hear rumblings about an AV1 beta or options for higher ingest bitrates.

    If this is still happening I'd like to join in. The YouTube streams I've been putting up are epic in AV1 but Twitch is where it's at.
