How many Mbps is needed to stream (live) in 4K?

[=MGN=RedEagle]

Hey guys, I want to start streaming some games in 4K on Youtube. How many Mbps is needed to make that happen?

Not sure on 4K. 1080P in good to high quality requires 6 to 10 Mbps in H.264, what do people actually stream at? Hard to say sometimes lower if their connection is crap or well... normal for cable lol. I wouldn't stream 4K if you are on cable and have a low upload speed. If you are on fiber and have 25+ Mbps I am sure it's easily possible. Have to leave some bandwidth for whatever you are playing.

Here is to hoping for H.265 support in the near future for streaming.

You need 30 Mbps for 4K streaming (60 fps)
