Getting vertical video before modern codecs (AV1∨HEVC), and the same bitrate limitations since it was justin.tv.
It’s impressive how stagnant Twitch is, and how expensive it’s purported to be.

We’re getting vertical streams before 21:9 aspect ratio support. Come on

Ultrawide is extremely niche compare to vertical resolutions/aspect ratio. It’s not even close.

I mean across all display devices, not just monitors.
Dont get me wrong, while I don’t have an ultrawide, I’ve seen some of them in store and they look wonderful. It’s almost like being in the future.
That being said, it’s clear that vertical resolutions/aspect ratios are far more widespread.

I understand that the overwhelming majority of people will still continue streaming at 16:9, or the vertical equivalent. It’s not just about ownership of ultrawide displays. It’s about support for such output format, for people who do want it. But even going by your own example, a ton of phones are 19.5:9, with some models straight up being 21:9
