youtube60fps-sIn an appeal to video gamers, YouTube announced 60 frames per second (fps) live streaming today. YouTube has offered 60fps playback for on-demand content for several months, but this is the first time its made the feature available for live video. In a blog post, YouTube noted that 60fps playback “means silky smooth playback for gaming and other fast-action videos.”

To use the new option, creators only need to upload a live video at 60fps. YouTube will then transcode the stream into 720p60 and 1080p60, as well as 30fps for devices that don’t yet support high frame rate video.
