Does viewing livestreams consume more data than doing so with a normal video?

413 views

Let’s say both the livestream and the video are viewed in 480p. How much data would be consumed in 1 hour for each?

I’d say the compression algorithm would make a difference. The one with the “better” compression algorithm whilst mantaining indistinguishable video quality would consume less.

As for how much data again, it would depend on who’s the most compressed here. 480p is usually not that expensive in terms of size so I would say less than a gigabyte in both cases?
