  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 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

    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.

  Vertical video syndrome is a serious affliction.

  Mobile users are a cancer.

    Are you really using Lemmy from a desktop? You sat in front of some high powered PC and THIS was the best thing you could find to do?

  Looks like this is an opt-in, supplemental crop mode, for streamers who have stuff that would work well for vertical orientations. Talking head stuff, live solo-artist music, etc.

  The existing content experience is still there, but if you’re standing on the subway, and you’re watching a streamer react to a press release about a game, you can turn your phone and watch them babble in landscape while you hold the poll.

  Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I kinda assumed they already supported it, like YouTube Shorts adopting the vertical format for shorts after Ticktock blew up.
