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..

We need to look for the future and we need AV1.

It is no secret that H.264/AVC is now an outdated!

I’m in. Rocking a 7900xtx.

I would like to enroll as well. A750 and ready to switch from YouTube. :)

I would be down to do AV1 Beta testing

Is the beta sign up still going ? If so count me in installed and configured ready to go.

We know you guys (twitch) probably have alot of backend to deploy to enable av1 and to provide a pleasurable experience for all users, both creators and viewers alike, and all of us are here to help even if its internal testing for the time being to help bring this tech to light. Let us help you at least from an end user perspective. I wish you nothing but good luck in rolling this feature out. Its definitely a big change backend and frontend wise and not an easy one at that.

I have an Arc A380 and am Looking forward to using it for streaming :)

OBS and FFMPEG are ready, YT already implemented AV1 Streaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZjtoCBla1g

Sign me up, I have an av1 encoder!

RX 7900xtx user here. Would like to test it if possible.

Sign me up I have a RX 7900xt :)

Please sign me up, I am able to stream with AV1 if it was possible right now

AV1 has a great benefits for quality And bandwidth usage. I would really appreciate the possibility to opt-in to an early access for AV1.

Furthermore I would instantly order a Intel ARC GPU for my Dual-PC Streaming Setup.

I would just prefer to have AV1 support because of the bandwidth and quality benefits but enrolling for early access would be nice.

It seems odd that Twitch isn't encouraging people to switch to better manage their bandwidth issues.

I have a little bit of unstable internet connection for normal twitch encoding. AV1 would help me a lot and make it cheaper for server processing for you. plz enable it.

Currently stream NVENC but have an AV1 card on standby. If they open a beta, I would enroll in a heartbeat.

I would go and buy an ARC gpu in a heartbeat if I was to enroll on such a test!

Today OBS officially released v29 in witch intel GPUs and 7xxx series amd cpus will be able to encode in AV1 and that is Huge!

Hopefully twitch won't be slow to adapt again and we will be able to get there soon.

As a streamer I am all in for helping towards that direction
