Use a supported video codec, constant bitrate (CBR), a 2-second keyframe interval, progressive scan, square pixels and stereo AAC audio at 44.1 kHz/128 kbps. YouTube does not publish a specific bitrate recommendation for 1080p25, so treat its 1080p30 figures only as a nearby reference—not as a 25 fps rule.
Recommended encoder settings for 1080p25
| Setting | Practical choice | YouTube guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 1920×1080 | YouTube detects resolution automatically by default. A custom stream key can enable manual resolution settings. |
| Frame rate | 25 fps | YouTube supports frame rates up to 60 fps. Its published bitrate table lists 30 and 60 fps rows, but not 25 fps. |
| Video codec | H.264 for conventional compatibility; use HEVC/H.265 or AV1 if your encoder supports it | YouTube lists H.264, H.265/HEVC and AV1 for RTMP/RTMPS. |
| Rate control | CBR | YouTube recommends constant bitrate. |
| Keyframe interval | 2 seconds (50 frames at 25 fps) | YouTube recommends 2 seconds and says not to exceed 4 seconds. |
| Picture format | Progressive scan, square pixels, Rec. 709, 8-bit for SDR | These are YouTube’s listed advanced SDR settings. |
| Stereo audio | AAC, 44.1 kHz, 128 kbps | YouTube also lists MP3 as an audio option. AAC is required for its 5.1 RTMP option. |
| Transport | RTMPS if your encoder supports it | YouTube recommends encrypted RTMPS where available. |
The Gujarati language does not call for different codec, frame-rate or bitrate settings in YouTube’s encoder guidance. Check the actual narration and music in your test feed for intelligibility; that is a practical audio check, not a separate YouTube language specification.

What bitrate should you use?
YouTube’s current published table does not include 1080p25. The closest reference is 1080p30, and its figures should not be presented as official 25 fps recommendations.
Do these 3 things before closing this tab:
1Repair Windows errors before they cause bigger problems2Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitches3Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errors| YouTube table entry | Minimum bitrate | Recommended bitrate |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p30, H.264 | 5 Mbps | 14 Mbps |
| 1080p30, AV1 or H.265 | 4 Mbps | 10 Mbps |
| 1080p60, H.264 | 6 Mbps | 17 Mbps |
| 1080p60, AV1 or H.265 | 4 Mbps | 12 Mbps |
These are YouTube’s published values for the stated frame rates and codecs, not a 1080p25 prescription. If you need a starting reference, consult the 1080p30 row for your codec, then choose a bitrate your upload connection can sustain and test the actual stream. Include representative motion and audio in the test, and monitor stream health during the broadcast. YouTube’s recommendations are in its encoder settings guidance.
#1 Best Overall
- Compatible with Nintendo Switch 2’s new GameChat mode
- Auto-Light Balance: RightLight boosts brightness by up to 50%, reducing shadows so you look your best—compared to previous-generation Logitech webcams (1)

- Built-In Mic: The built-in microphone lets others hear you clearly during video calls
- Easy Plug-And-Play: The Brio 101 works with most video calling platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet—no hassle; it just works
Connect the encoder through Live Control Room
- Create or schedule the stream: In YouTube Studio, open Live Control Room and create a stream or schedule it. Scheduling gives you time to promote the event and lets viewers set reminders. See YouTube’s live streaming setup guidance.
- Copy the connection details: Open the stream settings and copy the stream URL and stream key into your encoder. Treat the key like a password. If it is exposed, use YouTube’s reset option and update the encoder with the replacement key.
- Set the encoder output: Choose 1920×1080 and 25 fps to match the source. YouTube recommends leaving resolution and frame-rate detection automatic unless you need manual resolution, which may require a custom stream key.
- Send a test feed: Check the picture, motion, audio, Live Control Room preview and stream health before the event. YouTube advises configuring encoders at least 2 hours ahead and starting them at least 15 minutes before a scheduled start.
- Start and end the event: For a scheduled stream, wait for the feed to appear in Live Control Room preview, then select Go live. To finish, stop the stream in YouTube and stop sending content from the encoder. YouTube says streams shorter than 12 hours are automatically archived.
YouTube transcodes incoming live video into multiple playback formats. Viewers may therefore see a playback resolution different from the encoder’s incoming 1080p picture. See YouTube’s encoder workflow and encoder settings.
Should you convert a 25 fps video to 30 fps?
Usually not if preserving the supplied file’s motion cadence is the goal. Keep the encoder at 25 fps rather than converting the source solely to match YouTube’s 1080p30 bitrate row. YouTube permits up to 60 fps, but its guidance does not require converting a 25 fps source to 30 fps. The bitrate table’s missing 25 fps row is a documentation gap, not evidence that 25 fps is unsupported.
Rank #2

Troubleshoot before going live
- The preview is missing: Confirm the encoder is sending to the stream URL and the correct key is entered. Check that the stream is active in Live Control Room and allow time for the preview to appear.
- YouTube reports poor stream health: Check the encoder’s upload bitrate and whether the connection can sustain it. Test with representative video motion and audio, then monitor stream health rather than relying only on a speed test.
- The image looks wrong or motion is uneven: Confirm output is 1920×1080 at 25 fps and progressive, and check that the encoder is not unnecessarily converting the source to another frame rate.
- Audio is missing or hard to understand: Verify the encoder is sending AAC stereo at 44.1 kHz/128 kbps and listen to the actual Gujarati narration and music in the preview.
- The connection details may be exposed: Reset the stream key in YouTube and replace the saved key in the encoder before sending another feed.
Or let it run in the cloud
