Thanks for asking the question. Let me try to answer.

Please see the following post for recommended YouTube upload settings for different resolutions.

If your mp4 file is encoded with very high bit rate then required for YouTube streaming then you need to re-encode your video with the recommended parameters using FFMPEG or with any other encoder like OBS etc.

If you are not familiar with FFMPEG, I recommend you to use any software encoder like OBS, VMIX etc.

Using any other software is resource consuming and increasing my cost. I am very new to antamedia or to other streaming products . the default setting of ant media is consuming 10 mbps bandwidth, the output stream at youtube I am receiving is 1080p . per one live stream. i'm looking to lower my bandwidth by reducing the output quality of the stream.so I'm looking to set 720 p , 60 FPS ,3500 KBPS bitrate ..how can i achieve it . but my main concern is that I want to reduce output bandwidth . I run out of bandwidth if I stream multiple videos . i am okay to set the setting in RTMP or webrtc .

Hi @10081994 ,

Yes, you're right 10Mbps per one live stream is high and as @yashtandon113 mentions, it's good to transcode the streams once and then upload transcoded VoD to Ant Media Server then stream back to youtube.

You can change the bitrate, fps, resolution or everything with FFmpeg. This video mainly shows how to transcode the stream to a different bitrate with FFmpeg.

For more information, you can proceed with FFmpeg wiki to learn more https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264

Let me know if we can help you in a specific way.

Thanks, I'll check it out!
