Beware: immediate after upload into Stream, video is available in only 1 quality / rendition

A business user recent approached me with question why his uploaded video was only available in one, and not the highest bitrate / quality in Microsoft Stream. However, when we opened the video to inspect, he was pleasant surprised that all of a sudden the video could be played in more qualities, including with higher bitrates. This behavior is completely explainable, as on Stream side processing takes place to convert the uploaded video in multiple bitrates; and that processing simples takes its time to complete. But it is good to be aware of, and realize that you just need to be a bit patient for the different video qualities to become available.
