## Video Quality

Owncast supports HLS [Adaptive bitrate streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_bitrate_streaming), or in other words, different video qualities that can be used for different network conditions.

You can edit the `config/config.yaml` file and add as many stream _variants_ as you like under the `videoSettings` block, like so:

More stream quality variants requires more disk space, since it's another copy of the video on disk. If you're serving video locally and you have enough disk space then it's probably no big deal and files will rather quickly get rotated and cleaned up. If you're using something like [S3 for storage](S3.md) then files won't get cleaned up until some point in the future, so you'll have more remote storage use in play.
