 In most circumstances,​ we recommend matching the size you plan on embedding the live stream on your page, with a recommended maximum of 640x480 for desktop and 320x240 for mobile. ​ If you are using the live stream for multi-site or know your audiences systems can support it you can normally run a live stream up to 2000kbits/​second before special provisions need to be made to deal with very high bit rate streams. In most circumstances,​ we recommend matching the size you plan on embedding the live stream on your page, with a recommended maximum of 640x480 for desktop and 320x240 for mobile. ​ If you are using the live stream for multi-site or know your audiences systems can support it you can normally run a live stream up to 2000kbits/​second before special provisions need to be made to deal with very high bit rate streams.
  
-===== On demand ​and simulated live streaming ​for mobile devices =====+[[http://​churchonlineplatform.com/​|Church Online]] uses a embed size of 480x270 for 16:9 and 480x360 ​for 4:3.  We recommend running two streams. ​ One at the embed size, and one at 4x the embed size.  Keeping an even multiple of the width and height prevents scaling artifacts.
