For the best quality and video support, we recommend using the following formats and settings when uploading videos to StreamYard's video library.
File Size
10GB is currently the max file size supported on Core and Advanced, and 25GB for StreamYard Teams and Business accounts.
Large video files will take a long time to upload (depending on your internet speed), so we recommend compressing larger videos using a tool like Handbrake (guide available here) before uploading.
File Format and Specifics
Currently .mp4 and .mov files are supported for uploading; we recommend using H.264 as the video encoding, and AAC as the audio encoding.
Here's a detailed table of the supported settings for each StreamYard plan:
| Plan | Max. Resolution | FPS | Max. Bitrate | Max. Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | 1080p | 30 | 15MB/s | 2 Hour |
| Advanced | 1080p - with 2160p local recordings | 30 | 15MB/s | 4 Hours |
| Teams | 1080p - with 2160p local recordings | 30 | 15MB/s | 8 Hours |
| Business | 1080p - with 2160p local recordings | 30 | 15MB/s | 8 Hours |
Matching your video to the above settings will provide the fastest uploads and best quality when viewing/streaming your videos.
