[00:02] your viewers will experience problems.  Yes, this myth has been circulating for quite some time.  But let's get to the bottom of this .  To see if you can stream in 2K, go to Twitch settings > Stream, and 2K Streaming must be
[00:15] enabled there.  If you then set your base canvas to 2560 x 1440 in OBS under Settings and Video, under Settings and Video, resolution, and if you have connected your Twitch account under Stream and
[00:31] activated Enhance Broadcast, you will automatically stream in 1440p.  So, 2k, but your viewers wo n't necessarily have any problems.
[00:43] If you have any problems at all, it's if your upload speed isn't sufficient or your hardware can't handle it, because you need 20 Mbit upload or more so that all the different versions, i.e., resolutions of your
[00:56] stream, can be converted and sent to Twitch .  Unless your Twitch Creator Dashboard also shows support for server-side trend codes under Stream settings, in which case the
[01:08] required upload speed will also decrease drastically.  So if you're streaming in 2K, you need a lot of upload bandwidth unless you have server-side trend codes.  Your viewers don't need fast internet, because regardless of whether you have server-side
[01:22] trend codes or not, your viewers can set the quality they want to watch in under Quality.  And if their internet connection is too slow, they watch in lower quality.  But if it's fast enough,
[01:36] quality.  But if it's fast enough, they get the full 2k.
