  1. We understand that broadcasting at higher bit rates costs Twitch more money, so why not enable it as a paid feature, such as for Twitch turbo subscribers?

  2. Honestly, I don’t know what exactly needs to be done, but twitch, unlike the same YouTube, always lacks Internet speed. I watch streams via wifi. Through the Windows task manager, I often see that twitch consumes over 20 Mbps and uses 70% of my processor. At peak moments of using the Internet, streams and recordings of streams do not freeze, but the speed constantly increases from 0 to 20 Mbps and falls back, at times when it is below 10 Mbps or I open even the usual "new tab" in Google stream or its RECORDING (it's like a regular YouTube…

  3. to decrease the overall bandwidth cost

    You could increase the bitrate for partners at 15000
    keep the same limit of bitrate for the affiliate at 8000

    and for a new channel put it at 15000 for a limited time (in condition to have regular viewership and people talking in chat)

    and having regular viewer being able to boost the channel popularity with channel points was also really good !

    you also can reduce the maximum quality for new streamers to 720p 30fps
    and unlock the vod feature only for affiliate and partners but propose to link a youtube account for…

  4. I've been struggling to manage a high quality stream with my AMD RX 7800XT. No matter what bitrate I am using, the quality is blurry, while other streamers on NVIDIA and or a 9000 series AMD GPUs have access to great encoders.

    Please consider implementing a better low bitrate encoder for all AMD users as the card mentioned is already a high tier GPU, but it still cannot stream a clear image on the platform.

  5. Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting is by default a downgrade compared to server-sided transcoding.

    1. Server-sided transcodes provide a 3500kbps bitrate for the 720p60 non-source track. When using Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting, the 720p60 track is limited to 2500kbps, a reduction of 1000kbps or approximately 28.6%.

    2. Non-partners are effectively denied from streaming 720p60 at 6000kbps. As twitch reduces transcode availability, more non-partners will be forced to use Twitch Enhanced broadcasting to have multiple encodes. Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting limits the bitrate for 720p60 streams to 4500kbps. This is a reduction of 1500kbps or 25%. Effectively, non-partners must choose between the higher perceptual quality of 720p60…

  6. Higher audio bitrate option for Enhanced Broadcasting (up to 320 kbps)

    Enhanced Broadcasting currently caps audio bitrate at 190 kbps, even when OBS is configured to send 320 kbps. Confirmed via Twitch Inspector: disabling Enhanced Broadcasting restores the full 320 kbps audio; enabling it drops audio to 190 kbps regardless of OBS settings.

    This is a real issue for musicians and live performance streamers. I'm a one-man-band streamer (live guitar, vocals, and foot-operated drums simultaneously), and the extra compression at 190 kbps introduces audible artifacts on multi-source audio that aren't present at 320 kbps.

    Enhanced Broadcasting was built to push…

  7. Please enable 1440p for viewers in Czech Republic - I can finally stream in 1440p, but basically all my viewers are region locked and are allowed to watch in 1080p only.

  8. Hi everyone, We'd love to have info available to streamers regarding how many viewers watch Twitch at each transcoding level. So, for example, how many people view at 1080 vs. 720 in general? How many by category? Having this info for each category + region would help streamers make informed choices with bitrate and resolution. We run a DJ stream, so we need to stay at 320kbps for audio. This means we can't use enhanced broadcasting to solve transcoding issues. (Enhanced broadcasting = 160 audio.) We've so far settled on 1536x864 at 6000kpbs video and 320kbps audio in OBS. This…

  9. For a lot of non-gaming content the doubling of bandwidth/vod size just isnt necessary, its the most economical way to stream or save broadcasts in a still acceptable quality. Removing it as an option while keeping 360 and 480 doesnt make sense (166 at least serves a purpose as a quasi-audio only option)

  10. Streaming in high framerate(120fps) increases the quality of the gameplay
    (alot when it is fast paced, such as shooter games) but requires a monitor of similar refresh rate(144hz) and good internet to view without lag(its amazingly smooth and so worth it).

    However not everyone(vast majority) has these requirements and when streaming with these settings it is always the first option(source or highest quality). Thus a lot of people will get a laggy stream and are probably not aware that they have to lower the resolution to view uninterrupted(thats why big streamers dont do this because a lot of people lag…

  12. I can't speak for everyone, but 160p is by far the worst looking, and sounding, quality. For those with terrible internet speeds, that's fine, but I'm totally fine with my video 30 seconds behind the streamer over this terrible quality that's coming in regardless of what quality I put it at (as it automatically downgrades to 160p if it can't handle it, heavens forbid we put you 15 seconds behind the streamer). I just want the ability to tell twitch on my side, once and for all, NO 160P QUALITY FOR ME.

  15. Clearly something changed. Twitch is allowing more and more affiliates while also providing with low possibility to give multiquality features.

    This means that:
    - those who cannot afford or just have the best internet connection will never be able to have more viewers since the max quality isn't helping viewers with low connection
    - clearly Twitch is trying to give more affiliations while hoping to get better revenues, but at what cost

    Do something, the max quality video is doing a big damage. Restore the multiquality.

  16. Please allow Romania(EMEA region country) to watch 1440p streams, the country literally has one of the best internet connection on this planet. It's also weird that romanian streamers get 1440p streaming but romanian viewers can't watch in 1440p :(. Most romanians have 500mbps or 1gbps connection, some do have 100mbps but that is also enough of course. So since you do give romanian streamers that stream in romanian language the option to stream in 1440p then let the romanians actually see the difference please.

  17. Cooperate with Microsoft so us Xbox users can stream up to 60 FPS instead of 30 cause the quality we see on our streams are horrible as we see pixelations on it. Please let us go to 60 FPS or even at 120 FPS if you can, please.

  18. Twitch has currently END its business in Korea, Twitch does not have to pay network usage fees in Korea.
    Korean viewers (or viewers who visit Korea and use Twitch) were uncomfortable with the measures taken by Twitch Korea to reduce network usage fees (limiting broadcasts to 720P, disabling clips and replays).

    I hope Twitch puts an end to these measures because now they don't have to pay Korean carriers.

    Additionally, there are still many broadcasts outside of South Korea on Twitch, and there are still Korean users who want to enjoy them in NORMAL quality.

  19. Turbo Subscribes Should have the Rights Access to stream/save highlights in 1080p or Higher. NOT lower the rate, Because others have low internet ? what about the ones that pay for High internet and We get tossed back? Come on now We are in the Future with 4k and Ultra HD and 5g + nearly on all platforms from Cable to fiber optics, Cellphone,online stream video services/music. its time for keeping up with the world. We are paying for Better services . Please Honor this service otherwise why pay for High benefits if We get lower standards? I See Twitch…

  20. South Korea's Twitch community has seen rates on Amazon Web Services' IVS reduced by up to 50% since August 1, 2023. And
    Users in Korea will not be able to create and upload new VOD content, which will likely reduce network rates.

    Since live channels in Korea have decreased a lot compared to last year, I think the network fee has decreased compared to last year.

    Please increase the display advertisement to 60 seconds instead of 30 seconds by adopting it as an interim advertisement
