Question / Help Does OBS Windows Support new YouTube 60fps streaming?

[terrybritton]

According to this article, YouTube just opened up streaming at 60fps for 720p and 1080p.

Does OBS support the new "flag" yet that allows this to happen?

Thanks everyone for this great program!

There's nothing that should stop you from streaming 60 FPS to youtube. That "flag" is from an API response, not something that has to be sent with the stream.

I just attempted to create an event through youtube's live control panel. There's a checkbox you set under your ingestion settings to enable 60fps. From there, you just have OBS feed 60fps into their RTMP ingest.

Just did a test stream. There's a 60 FPS checkbox on the youtube event page you have to tick, there's nothing special required in OBS other than setting 60 FPS.
