More bitrates = more viewers
Multi-bitrate streaming is becoming a standard these days and it makes perfect sense because connection to the Internet differs from viewer to viewer significantly. So if you want to have as much viewers as possible then you should consider multi-bitrate streaming to be able to provide smooth streams to everyone. Multi-bitrate feature enables your viewers to change stream bitrate using player’s menu. So viewers with saturated connection can switch to lower quality and viewers with good connection can enjoy full HD quality.
