My Thoughts On Twitch’s “Enhanced Broadcasting” Changes

My TL;DR hot take: Twitch will eventually expand the 70/30 to more streamers. Anyone else agree with this steamy hot take that will obviously never happen?

I literally was waiting "Another Day Nuuty" to change the previous coments. NuttyVerse is real.

Hell even 60/40 for all partners would be dope !!! keen to see how all this goes down this year !

I think the transcoding update is great for multiple reasons: - guaranteed transcoding for all (even though us partners have it by nature as you mentioned), -higher quality possibilities with new encoding -possibly increased bitrate when they don’t have to transcode it -lower latency -saving Twitch money, which in one way or another will come back to us. Whether it’s a better split, or it’s the platform not being shut down. The only potential thing down the line is that I could imagine this leading to transcoding disappearing from Twitch affiliates fully, a few years after full integration. But by then, I think most people would have the resources necessary to do the job. I’m also curious how it will go for potential future IRL streams if that would become the case.

Man... Giving up Transcoding on Twitch's end for a 70/30 split would be a good move. I'd happily do that.

Every time I suggested or asked for HEVC on twitch I got told by people 'that can never happen' as if it was some form of technological wizardry that would be impossible to implement. So glad we're getting it.

no transcoding is why mobile gaming streamers (which is a large community btw that twitch is missing out on) are streaming on YouTube and Trovo instead of Twitch because of this. A LOT of its viewership come from countries where high speed internet isn't as accessible compared to others

lmao!! love ya man!! keep it up!!

If we are sending multiple quality video options, I wonder if it's possible with a custom OBS build, to send 3 different video feeds instead of transcode options

What kind of bandwidth are people going to have to transcode 5 times to twitch? I only have 30Mbps upload and plan to multi stream so I'd love to know how thats going to effect that if I choose to transcode locally.

Did I already LIKE this video, yes, I already liked it times four... Nutty speaks the truth, bloody "sneaky". Peace :hand-purple-blue-peace:

@nuttylmao You should add some large sound panels to your room to deaden the sound some. Would sound vewi nice :)

So I can’t access the mic on my webcam bc they moved the settings. I’m bummed

For me im a affilated it sas 50/50 but if you look im from europe so my community pays in euro's a sub cost 3.99 euro's i get 1.55 Amerikan dollars in my dashboard thats 1,41 Euro so yeah its not 50/50 for me

No way they got the RTX 4070 "tie" guy to narrate this...that's hilarious. Glad you included that last bit nutty, at the very least it's more options!

I've been on twitch for over 10 years. I know about affiliates having the chance to not get transcoding but I've never actually seen it happen. Every affiliate I've watched and also my own stream has always had it available at all times.

Partner plus was something that existed before . But it was a secret . Big streamers had this contract but it was not public . Now they just made it something that is official. So it's was not a change . At least on that part .

honestly with AV1 support higher bit rate doesn't even matter at all x264 streams look great as it is at source quality but with AV1 you could get damn near lossless at 6000kbps

The question is, if you only send an HEVC/AV1 stream to Twitch, are you going to gimp your possible viewer base that can't watch those codecs without transcoding? So without transcoding, we would have to send at least two streams for maximum compatibility.

Bitrate is at 10K with enhanced
