Video Platform
Are there drawbacks or trade-offs when using AAC?
Yes. Some trade-offs include: licensing / patent costs; higher CPU usage during encoding or decoding (especially for complex profiles or high sample rates); possible compatibility issues with some very old or limited hardware; and that it's a lossy format (so not preserving full original fidelity like lossless formats).

What bitrate/settings should I use for AAC when streaming?
Typical good settings are: for speech or podcasts: around 64-96 kbps; for stereo music: ~128-192 kbps; for high-quality or multi-channel audio: 256 kbps+ depending on channels and target devices. Testing on target devices is recommended to balance quality vs bandwidth.
