YouTube adds support to 4K live-streaming for 360-degree video

PanARMENIAN.Net - YouTube now supports 4K live-streaming, allowing content creators to broadcast using high-resolution video in both 360-degree and standard video formats at a rate of 60 frames per second, the company announced Wednesday, November 30, according to The Verge.

The update comes just a few weeks after YouTube added 4K HDR support. Given that standard 4K content is still easier to film and is more accessible than 4K HDR content, it's a great update for both YouTube creators and viewers, The Verge says. Creators can start live-streaming in 4K , but if you’re on the viewer’s side and want to know what that’ll look like, YouTube’s partnering with The Game Awards to live stream the entire show under the new format on December 1.

As more devices with 4K live-streaming support come onto market, here’s hoping it’ll be the new standard for live-streaming just about anything.
