YouTube gets 4K live streaming

From today YouTube users will be able to stream standard and 360-degree video content in 4K. This could have huge significance for YouTube's position in the live stream space. While popular, the video behemoth's main streaming competitor, Twitch, currently lacks the bandwidth to support 4K streaming.

Back in 2010, 4K support was first available to the app and now it has the largest library of 4K video. Google can't help but be excited about this. On the official YouTube blog it says "The image quality is just mind-blowing on screens that support it, and in 360 degrees … the clarity can truly transport you."

Twitch servers typically limit streamers to a bandwidth of 3.5 Mbps (and a 4K stream can require more than double that). Being beaten to the UHD punch will come as a major blow to the Amazon-owned company. Google will be hoping that this technical advantage will be enough to steer Twitch users towards viewing and hosting streams on its platform.

If you're eager to see a pro-shot 4K stream in action, you can watch this year's edition of The Game Awards in all its UHD glory on Youtube.
