Yeah, you either need to be a Twitch Partner (who get quality transcodes from the start) or have enough viewers to enable transcoding once you pass a hidden internal value (they don't advertise the specific numbers to avoid having unscrupulous people try to 'game' the system).
There's a reason the 'sweet spot' for non-partners is 720p, 30fps, 2000kbps. Maximizes your potential viewerbase while still maintaining a good quality stream.
Don't worry. I got lost in the 'MUST RUN 1080P!' fallacy when I first started streaming, too. :)
Just remember. No one will come to your stream for crystal-clear 1080p video. But people will absolutely leave if they get stuck in buffering hell because you're running too high a bitrate.

sorry those people aren't helpful. in obs, settings, video, output (scaled) resolution. ### x ### the second number is the resolution, so pay attention to that. you don't have the fancy multi options like other people. but if your making something for friends to watch you can lower it for them. have fun ^-^
You answer has nothing to do with this topic.
As XeiZ pointed out you need to get partnered to get the quality option to show up all the time.
People reported transcodind showing up at around 10 viewers, while i was streaming, it probably depends on time of day and overall viewershio on twitch at that time in general.
I'm not partnered.
