Latency
This sets the degree of latency for the livestream.
The degree of latency indicates how long it takes for the streamed content (video or audio) to appear or be played back on the streaming destination (the viewer’s) device.
Lowering the latency makes the delay shorter before the video appears on the viewer's device, which lets the person streaming the content interact with the viewers in real time.
Note that lower latency settings may cause the video that’s shown on the viewer’s device to become unstable.
If you don’t need to stream content in real time, we recommend that you set this to “Normal Latency”. (Long latency times do not cause any problems.)
For details on latency settings, see Google’s official YouTube Help website and other sources.
Normal Latency
A streaming setting that prioritizes video quality.
Although there is a time lag before the contents are shown on the viewer’s device, the video quality is stable.
Low Latency
A streaming setting that offers a good balance between video quality and real-time interactivity.
Low Latency
A streaming setting that emphasizes real-time interaction.
The video may become unstable, depending on the network status and the viewer’s operating environment.
