When it comes to streaming, Ecamm Live is designed to handle the details. The app will automatically adjust your streaming settings based on which destinations you've chosen for streaming. Here are the limitations that we are aware of for common streaming destinations. To reiterate, Ecamm Live will automatically ensure that the requirements below are met.

YouTube Live

Easy! YouTube Live will accept any resolution, shape, frame rate, and bit rate. YouTube will then automatically transcode it to multiple frame sizes, allowing each viewer to choose their own viewing resolution.

  • Note that some viewers may not be offered a 1440p or 4K option if their viewing device does not support it.

  • YouTube's Ultra Low-Latency setting does not support 1440p or 4K resolution.

  • Stream title can only be 100 characters long.

  • Stream description text can only be 5000 characters long.

Facebook Live

Facebook Live will accept just about any resolution, shape, frame rate, and bit rate. Facebook will then automatically transcode it to multiple frame sizes, allowing each viewer to choose their own viewing resolution.

  • Facebook does not accept 4K resolution when streaming at 24 or 25 FPS.

  • Although it will happily accept 1440p and 4K streams, Facebook will not offer viewers resolutions higher than 1080p. In some cases only 720p may be offered.

  • Stream title can only be 140 characters long.

  • See here for limitation on receiving comments in Facebook Groups.
