This makes it ideal for both live and on-demand video.

Another key advantage of H.264 is its wide compatibility. It’s supported by nearly all modern devices and platforms, including web browsers, smartphones, and smart TVs. This broad support allows content providers to reach more users without needing different video formats, making H.264 a reliable and flexible choice in streaming.
