Enabling YouTube HEVC (H.265) Streaming

iOS

YouTube live platform supports receiving H.265 (HEVC) encoded streams, allowing for higher-quality video with the same data usage when streaming to YouTube.

H.265 (HEVC) encoding is automatically applied only for single streaming to YouTube.

For multi-streaming, H.264 encoding is automatically applied.

If you multi-streaming to Youtube and Facebook, H.264 is applied.

The following images illustrate the quality differences between H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) encoding. By enlarging the images to their original size, you can make detailed comparisons, such as examining the patterns in the couch fabric.
