Streaming is an essential part of gaming culture and enjoying games with your friends, and we’ve made some updates to streaming on Stadia. Let’s take a look at what we’ve been working on behind the scenes:

 

Stream to your heart’s content with these new livestream improvements

I stream, you stream. We’re making some improvements to make for a better experience with both platform and third-party livestreaming on Stadia! Here’s the gist of it:

- Platform live streaming supports HDR and up to 4K resolution

- We’ve added support for platform and third-party livestreams when you switch games or suspend and resume on desktop and mobile web

- You can stream gameplay from second devices like your TV and the Stadia mobile app once you start the stream on desktop or mobile web

These changes are all live on the platform now. Check them out, and let us know what you think!

 

Share your gameplay with friends with party stream

We know some of you have been partying already. But for those of you who missed the invite, not to worry – there’s still time to join the fun! Party stream lets you show off gameplay to other players in your party – or tune into multiple other games that your friends are playing!

We worked hard to make streaming to your party really simple. Everything happens on Stadia – no extra software or accounts needed. And we’ve been able to minimize the stream delay, which is great news for virtual Jackbox parties!

Up to 10 people can join a party on Stadia, so you could have nine party members watching one person playing a game, or it could be nine people playing games while one person switches between watching the various games. Invite other Stadia players in your party to watch your gameplay and participate via voice and text!

Have you checked out party stream yet? Give it a go, and send that feedback our way!

We’re always striving to improve the gameplay experience on Stadia. If you have any feedback, questions, or concerns, feel free to drop us a line on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. See you on Stadia!

This eliminate the need to use discord to share screen when doing party games. Definitely need to try it out during our next gaming session :slightly_smiling_face:

Hopefully this will show all the Stadia haters and all the Stadia is Dead peeps that Stadia is alive and well, getting more developments and improvements to a platform that is showing where gaming is going in the future.

Great. Now let's hope they implement to be able to record directly in 4K without HDR without downgrading to 1440p when you broadcast to YouTube. Important on PC since we are not enabled to use HDR.
On Android yes you can if it supports the 4K HDR game and today I was recording a video with it.

More than 300 videos uploaded to YouTube about Stadia and most of them using this tool, and yes, it's wonderful, especially now with the function of resuming streaming because if before your PC, browser, device crashed, the game blocked or you had to Being away for a few minutes you were forced to cut the stream, now it's okay to be absent for 15 minutes without playing =D.

On the way to warn that the Stadia controller already allows you to navigate the Chromecast menus with Google TV, even outside the Stadia application. Also waiting for the update of the Android TV app and to be able to use test versions comfortably on mobile and TV.

Great feature I'd love to see this expanded a little but allowing picture in picture support whilst playing my own game and then the ability to switch to and join the other game as the same point they are up a bit like a game invite from a party chat

Loving the improvements you're making to streaming. Awesome to see. I would like to be able to include my voice when streaming from my TV though. Or ideally voice and video using my mobile phone to overly the stream from my TV. Would be awesome to see. 

But still, love the improvements you've made.

Great, huge technical news!  I hope that this continues to be expanded.  You can't replace Discord for "quick and dirty" screen-sharing if non-Stadia users cannot join into a room to view.  I still need to use Discord to share my screen because people are hesitant to sign up for a Stadia account just to view a stream for a short time.  However, if my streaming needs to span beyond one Discord server or more than "a quick second," I have livestreaming to YouTube.  As that gets faster and more convenient it may become more viable, but it also bloats my YouTube, and all the tools for bigger streamers and content creation now detracts from what might have been a quick, 5 minute "hey check this out" moment.

Please tell me this is a stepping point towards Party PLAY (allowing others to connect to your own game to join as Player 2/3/4 of a local multiplayer game)

This is so cool. I still can't believe that with Stadia you can livestream on YouTube for free at 4K and with HDR.
