Re: Youtube removed 5K resolution option? (2880s for 360° video)

I wonder if the best answer is to downscale to 4k yourself to optimise the quality, to let them do it as they will process the video again anyway, or to upscale to 8k?

I think you get the best YouTube quality the higher the resolution of the file you upload. I upload my GoPro Hero 5.3K videos in 5K and the results look good on YouTube in 4K.
