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.

Please support the AV1 codec so that streams have a better quality with lower bitrates.

Is it planned that Twitch will support the AV1 codec in the near future?
OBS, Nvidia and AMD support the AV1 codec.
I know that Twitch has already done AV1 tests: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/637388605 -

I second this. Would love the opportunity to do some early testing with twitch to help in ironing out any issues related to streaming with AV1 and viewing it as a live stream. Please make a way we can sign up and help with this.

New NVIDIA graphics cards now support the new AV1 codec, add streaming support in AV1, since you don't want to increase the bitrate, at least add a new codec that will improve the quality stream at the same bitrate!

Hi, it's about time to move forward, i can see we have the ability to stream in 1440p but we can't increase the bitrate. Solution: AV1 encoding or please increase the bitrate for 1440p streams, thank you
