I heard that Carrizo apu's (even on low end laptops etc) can decode it fine Yes, some hardware decoding is available, but it's not exactly widespread. The real starting point for HEVC adoption is when hardware decoding for smartphones/tablets becomes the standard, as mobile drives pretty much everything internet related these days. That's still a ways off. | ||

Given that you can already watch gaming streams live on Youtube, it will be interesting to see what else changes, if anything. All of the Riot streams for LoL have been on Twitch for ages, although they only go up to 720p and 30fps, for example, but I don't know if this is a Riot thing or a Youtube thing. The fact that they are already on Youtube and have been for a long time, and all VODs are on Youtube as well, they still only get about a quarter of the viewers of the live stream that Twitch gets, so it's not a foregone conclusion that people will watch Youtube instead of Twitch, given that it doesn't happen with LoL. | ||

The biggest reason, imo, that YouTube stream viewership has been so low is because the usability has been crap. Having a dedicated URL, and no longer having to schedule an event to go live will go a long way towards addressing those issues. If they pair that with a nice way to browse games/streams, they will be a real competitor. Their player and distribution platform is already leaps and bounds ahead of Twitch, and they obviously have a better VOD system. | ||

Their player and distribution platform is already leaps and bounds ahead of Twitch, and they obviously have a better VOD system. LCS is scheduled every day that it's on anyway, so I don't see how that really impacts it. The "dedicated" URL I use is the LCS Youtube user channel page, which on the Home tab has the live link when it's live anyway. Again, not sure how much difference that bit makes for anything. Maybe it reduces things by one click if you want to go to the specific stream page for the event, but the place to go to get the stream link never changes, but I can remember if you can watch the stream from within the user channel page anyway (but without For an even that has a regular schedule and runs at the same time every week, scheduled vs non scheduled streams should make zero difference, and there's a set channel to go to which is also the VOD channel. Despite that, it still doesn't get many viewers relative to the Twitch stream. | ||

This move will probably be more attractive for unpopular Twitch streamers or newcomers. In this case it'll be a game of marketing between Twitch and YT in fighting to retain/obtain this specific group. Although I can imagine this being really interesting for popular YT gaming channels that may want to pick up streaming. | ||

They'll need to work hard to get the audience to move. Youtube chat at the moment is ASCII spam and other spam and I think some emotes. Just like Twitch but without the kappa. | ||
