The best video codec for quality is likely H.265/HVEC, as it is well-equipped to handle even 4k HD videos with high compression rates. A decent alternative for Google's devices and platforms (YouTube, Android, Chrome) would be the VP9 codec.
How do I choose a codec?
Generally speaking, you should aim for the highest-quality codec that your camera (or your budget) can capture. When I say “highest quality”, I mean that you want to capture as much information as possible. So you want less-lossy codecs: less compression, higher bit-depth, and less chroma subsampling.
What is the most popular codec?
Streaming requires the use of both audio and video codecs. H. 264, also known as AVC (Advanced Video Coding), is the most common video codec; AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is the most common audio codec.
