This determines the rate at which frames are going to be encoded.

This gives you access to all the settings. You may want to consider streaming at a lower bitrate and resolution to lower the bandwidth required to see your channel. This is important if your viewers are on mobile phones or their internet speed is not as fast. Twitch only offers guaranteed transcoding to Partners non-partners may receive transcoding, but it is not guaranteed. Transcoding allows a viewer to view your video on a different resolution, thus requiring a lower bandwidth. Note for New and Upcoming Streamers to Twitch. For example, for Fortnite, many streamers decide to stream at 1600x900 60 FPS. If you reduce the resolution, you reduce the data being encoded, and the resulting viewer quality is higher. High motion content cannot be compressed as much, and can suffer from more artifacting (encoding errors) that make your stream look “blocky”. Racing games, some Battle Royale games, etc.) we highly recommend reducing your resolution. If you are going to stream high motion scenes (i.e. * Important Note for High Motion Content. Most streaming sites have recommendations ( Twitch, Youtube, Facebook Gaming) on what to use. Then, we will determine the resolution and FPS that we can use for such bitrate. We want to use around 75% of your upload speed, as the game and other programs such as Discord will also fight for bandwidth. While the same applies for framerate, a viewer can really notice a drop in FPS but not so much in resolution, so we will always try to stream at 60 FPS.įirst, run a speed test to determine your upload speed (e.g. The smaller the size of the image, the less we must compress it and the more quality it keeps.

Encoding is all about compressing images.
