Summary

Cloudflare Stream introduces first-class portrait (vertical) video support with full HD quality processing for newly uploaded or ingested videos. The new feature addresses the growing popularity of short-form video content applications such as TikTok and YouTube Shorts, where users have been confused by lower quality portrait videos on their smartphones. The update involves modifying the entire video encoding pipeline to support high-definition portrait videos, resulting in a significant increase in video quality for users.
