SAN BRUNO, CALIF.-YouTube has had the ability to showcase 4K videos since 2010,
but now it will be able to offer 4K live streams as well. In a post on its
official blog, YouTube announced that live 4K streams would now be available
for both standard and 360-degree videos.
"Supporting this format will let creators and partners stream incredibly
high-resolution video, and let viewers enjoy the clearest picture possible when
watching a live stream on 4K-supported devices," wrote Kurt Wilms, senior
product manager for YouTube.
Users will be able to stream 4K/2160p content at either 30 frames per second or
60 frames per second.
One of the first opportunities for viewers to check out a live 4K stream will
be on Dec. 1 for the Game Awards, which will be available at 9 p.m. EST on
YouTube.
