YouTube actually supports H.265 and VP9 ingest, depending on the streaming protocol. I can actually stream 4K@60 H.265 from my Mac Studio with < 5% CPU usage due to the hardware encoder support in OBS.

- ndiddy 3mo agoNice, glad some sites are finally trying to move forward. It looks like they only support H.265 video with AAC audio, so this should still be helpful for people who are streaming H.265. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/guides/hls-ingestion#media_format_requirements https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/guides/hls-ing...
- davidgerard 3mo agoyeah I use vp9 with opus for uploads by choice, it's great! YouTube serves vp9 but it always re-encodes my videos as AV1. Annoying. (I would upload as AV1 but the encoder is slooooooooow.)
- nwallin 3mo ago> (I would upload as AV1 but the encoder is slooooooooow.) If you're using libaom, try switching to libsvtav1. It's still slow, but it's slooow instead of slooooooooow.
