YouTube supports 8k videos on televisions with version 10 of Android TV – IT Pro – News

This bitrate previously just went up per resolution so that will be the case now.

Due to the lack of bitrate, 4k Youtube also looked better than 1080p on a 1080p screen.

That will also apply to 8k on a 4k screen, but they probably won’t activate 8k video on a 4k screen

MP4 H264 CODEC
Youtube compresses to 4320p (8K) (7680×4320) with a bit rate 78.4 Mbps
Youtube compresses to 2160p (4K) (3840×2160) with a bit rate 23.1 Mbps
Youtube compresses to (2K) 1440p (2560×1440) with a bit rate 10.4 Mbps

VP9 vs H264
8K VP9 vs H264 bitrate comparison = 21.2Mbps VP9 vs 78.4 Mbps H264
4K VP9 vs H264 bitrate comparison = 17.3Mbps VP9 vs 23.1 Mbps H264
2K VP9 vs H264 bitrate comparison = 8.5 Mbps VP9 vs 10.4 Mbps H264
1080p VP9 vs H264 bitrate comparison = 2.5 Mbps VP9 vs 2.3 Mbps H264
720p VP9 vs H264 bitrate comparison = 1.4 Mbps VP9 vs 1.3 Mbps H264

So if you can force it to H264, where the bitrate for VP9 is only a bit 20% lower for everything, that is almost 4X lower at 8K!
