Knowledge Base & FAQ

Streaming Bandwidth & Bitrate FAQ

How CDNs, codec profiles (AV1, HEVC), and buffer sizes affect streaming smoothness.

Major streaming platforms require a sustained minimum connection of 25 Mbps per concurrent 4K stream (Netflix recommends 25 Mbps; YouTube 4K 60fps recommends 35-45 Mbps). Additionally, jitter must remain below 10ms to prevent the media player from triggering adaptive bitrate downscaling.
