In most cases, we will re-encode your source video for mobile streaming (requires a Plus or higher account).
In most circumstances, we recommend matching the size you plan on embedding the live stream on your page, with a recommended maximum of 640×480 for desktop and 320×240 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.
