What bandwidth requirements do I need for streaming on IBM Cloud Video?

Asked 4 months ago
Streaming on IBM Cloud Video generally requires specific bandwidth to ensure a smooth and high-quality viewing experience. The bandwidth requirements can vary depending on a few factors, such as the resolution of the stream and the frame rate. For standard definition streaming, a minimum upload speed of around 1 to 3 Mbps is often sufficient. If one is looking to stream in high definition, the requirements increase, typically necessitating an upload speed of at least 5 to 10 Mbps. For those wanting to broadcast in full HD or higher resolutions, such as 4K, upload speeds of 20 Mbps or more may be necessary to accommodate the increased data being transmitted. It is essential to take into account not only the upload speed but also any additional internet usage during the streaming process. This might include other users in a shared network or other devices consuming bandwidth. A stable and reliable internet connection is crucial for uninterrupted streaming. For the most accurate and current information regarding bandwidth requirements and other technical specifications, one may want to visit the official IBM Cloud Video website.
