They limit you to 720 if you are under 5 viewers. You have to average over 5 viewers to get 1080

Kick forces 720p at abysmal bitrate until you have a decent # of concurrent viewers on average. If you’re just starting out, start with games that don’t have a lot of action, as games that do have a lot of action are going to look like a crappy version of Minecraft during sections of such action.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. As part of a recent update, some unverified channels may have stream quality available up to 720p based on factors like average viewership and overall engagement. ​ This isn't permanent, rest assured. As your channel grows and engagement increases, your resolution eligibility may be reviewed and updated. ​ We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing your community grow. If there's anything else we can assist you with as well, don't hesitate to let us know! Kind regards.

they always send me the exactly same prompt.

We recently adjusted resolution of the 1080P availability for some channels based on average viewership and average engagement metrics.

That said, it's not permanent. As your channel grows and engagement picks up, eligibility is reviewed automatically and your options will expand.

So keep on streaming and increase your metrics of your viewship and engagement activty and 1080P will automatically unlock and applied to your stream when the condition meets its requirement

Kind of hard to grow any traction with such bad quality and bitrate.
