Understanding Bandwidth for OTT Streaming

Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over an internet connection in a given time.

The higher bandwidth, the more data you can transmit in a short amount of time.

Higher bandwidth - Higher video quality
Higher bandwidth - Faster loading
Higher bandwidth - Minimized delays

How Much Bandwidth Do You Need for OTT Streaming?

Here is a table showing bandwidth requirements based on the streaming quality

Streaming QualityRecommended Bandwidth
SD (480p)~0.8 Mbps
HD (720p)~2 Mbps
Full HD (1080p)~5 Mbps
4K UHD~15+ Mbps
8K Streaming50-100 Mbps

Frequently Asked Questions

Bandwidth calculator is a tool that helps you determine the download time for a file of a given size.

It depends on the video resolution (SD(480p) - 3 Mbps, 4K(2160p) - 25 Mbps per stream and per user etc). Also, there can be factors affecting bandwidth requirements like comparison, bitrate, and more.

There is a simple formula to calculate bandwidth for multiple concurrent users: Total Bandwidth = Number of Users × Bandwidth per User. First, identify the bandwidth requirement per user, then multiply it by the number of concurrent users, and finally, consider a safety margin.

Yes, video bitrate directly affects bandwidth consumption because it determines how much data is transmitted per second while streaming.

Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted per second (speed), while data usage is the total amount of data consumed over a period (volume).
