AV1

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.

AV1 should already be an option

I second this.

We need AV1!

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

Pls sign me up for av1 beta owo

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

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.

AV1 LESSHHH GOOOH!!! https://www.thetechedvocate.org/av1-vs-h265-hevc-vs-vp9-what-is-the-difference-between-these-compression-standards/
I'm sure things will be underway soon with AV1 encoder. but still we live in a wonderful future with H265 or AV1

Since new graphics cards have an av1 encoder, you should add av1 support on twitch. This would allow streamers to provide better stream quality while reducing the bitrate sent. Everyone would benefit from it, "big" streamers could do clean 1080p60fps streams or even 1440p or even 4k and beginner streamers who don't have access to all the quality could stream in a good quality while using a smaller bitrate so that way viewers with bad internet could still watch their streams.

Still no official response in a year? YouTube has since rolled out AV1 support, NVIDIA GPUs now support AV1 hardware encoding, please at least roll out a beta that we can enroll into! Even if the concern is transcoding costs—there are datacenter AV1 hardware encoders that can handle hundreds and hundreds of streams simultaneously for relatively little price. Check EposVox’s video on such tech.

Man, it's such a downer having to sit through something about to be released like CS2 with that garbage h.264 quality. Talk about a mood killer!

They don't care. Right now they are into getting the most juice from Twitch until it dies.

This would be very nice, as my streams look rather bad with the current AMF encoder.

Yes please, in fact it´s taking way too long

it must be the First Place for Twitch to add this. Lower bandwith lower cost ;) so yeahr pls add it Fast..
