1080p / 60fps Streaming On Twitch

Did this press release just say "more p’s than a plate of pepperoni pizza?" Ugh.

Your Twitch streams will soon look finer than ever thanks to our new 1080p/60fps video support. For starters, we’re no longer limiting our ingest bitrate to 3.5 megabits. We officially recommend 3–6 megabits for most streams, skewing toward the higher end for 1080p broadcasts or faster, more demanding games. How do you know if your channel has the new quality options? Visit Twitch Inspector and check your latest stream data for an indicator called “Transcode V2.” Once you have access (we’re rolling out support for all channels in the coming weeks), your viewers will be able to open the video settings menu and find more p’s than a plate of pepperoni pizza.
