Live video is one of the most data-intensive activities on a phone. Here is roughly what to expect.
Typical Data Usage
- SD quality: roughly 0.7 GB per hour
- HD (720p): roughly 1.5–2 GB per hour
- Full HD (1080p): roughly 3 GB per hour
Practical Tip
If you are on a limited mobile data plan, check your streaming app’s quality settings — most let you manually cap resolution to save data.
