Microsoft and hardware partners are bringing hardware-accelerated AV1 video support to Windows 10 this fall. Microsoft states you will need Windows 10 1909 or later and newer hardware installed on your computer. Netflix currently supports AV1 streaming to Android devices, and we should expect to see support coming for Windows 10 shortly as well. With hardware acceleration, your graphic card’s processors will be utilized instead to decode the video, resulting in lower CPU usage and increased battery life. With increased support for AV1 in Windows 10, we can also expect more streaming services offering further support.
