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.
