    Twitch is experimenting with 4K and multi-encode livestreaming.

    Nvidia, Twitch, and OBS are teaming up on the new enhanced broadcasting feature that will be available in beta later this month. It allows streamers to transmit up to three concurrent streams to Twitch at different resolutions and quality. This allows non-partner / affiliate streamers to broadcast at multiple resolutions and quality levels. Twitch is also experimenting with 4K and AV1 streaming on RTX 40-series GPUs.

    You can read more about Twitch’s plans in a blog post and a support page.

    Slack now has a Stream Deck plug-in.

    We love the Stream Deck here at The Verge. It’s already a great Zoom controller and ideal for automating tasks on Windows or MacOS, and now it’s getting Slack support. The new plug-in lets you quickly mute notifications using a Stream Deck button, or open direct messages, group messages, channels, and more. If you assign a button to direct message a particular friend or colleague you’ll even see their online status on the button. You can get the Stream Deck Slack plug-in over at Elgato’s marketplace.

    You can assign Stream Deck buttons to a variety of Slack tasks.
