Can I stream in 1080p or 4K?
Last updated July 24, 2026
The resolution you can stream at depends on your plan and where you're streaming from.
By plan
| Plan | Web Studio max | OBS/encoder max |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 720p | 720p |
| Hobby | 720p | 1080p |
| Creator | 1080p | 4K |
| Scale | 1080p | 4K |
| Enterprise | 1080p | 4K |
Web Studio (the browser studio) caps out at 1080p on Creator and above, and 720p on Free and Hobby. Streaming software like OBS can push higher: 1080p on Hobby, and 4K on Creator, Scale, and Enterprise.
Note that not all destinations accept 4K — YouTube does, but most other platforms deliver 1080p or lower. ApexStream automatically adapts your stream to what each platform can handle.
Good to know: Your plan's resolution limit is enforced live. If you try to stream at a resolution above your plan's cap, ApexStream will stop the broadcast and show an error. Upgrading gives you access to higher quality.
