Does StreamYard support 4k UHD?

While StreamYard does not support live streaming in 4k, users can download 4k local recordings if they are on our Advanced, Teams or Business plan. 

To access 4k local recordings, make sure you have enabled local recordings inside your broadcast studio. Once local recordings have been enabled, you will be able to select 4k as your studio resolution.

You can then access your 4k local recordings in your Library tab once your broadcast has ended.

 

Additionally, your webcam and device must support 4k recording. If you do not see the option to download 4k recordings, please verify that you are on a supported plan, that local recordings are enabled, and that your hardware supports 4k. If all requirements are met and you still cannot access 4k downloads, we recommend reviewing our support resources or reaching out for further assistance.

 


FAQ

Can I download a 4k mixed recording of the whole show?
No. To get true 4k files after your show, use Local Recordings. You can download each participant’s local track in 4k, but the cloud-mixed export remains at the stream resolution (up to 1080p).
 

Can I record in 4k on my mobile device or tablet?

Unfortunately 4k recording is not available on mobile devices or tablets yet. This includes the StreamYard guest app available for ios users.
