    Shouldn’t the encoding happen locally, on the user’s computer, before it’s even sent to Twitch?

      The user doesn’t send several different resolutions of video, the streamer just sends the source, and once thay have enough viewers, twitch reduces the resolution on their side so the viewer can choose either quality.
