You want the stream to be a lower quality so it can attract more users.
I don't understand how the quality looks so bad on twitch when streaming, when I am getting a stable connection, 0 dropped frames, and my settings should be good? Any help?ġ080p resoultion downscaled to 720p 30fps You should stream to twitch at 720p because your viewers will only see your stream in source quality unless you're a partnered streamer. When you don’t have access to a 1080p monitor, 720p streaming isn’t demanding, and it only requires a bitrate of at least 4,500kbps for 60fps and 2,500kbps for 30fps. You’ll need an upload speed of up to 7.4 Mbps to support that. It’s also worth noting that you cannot exceed 6,000kbps on Twitch as this will cause instability throughout the broadcast. And when twitch isn't fullscreen and has both sidebars up on a 1080p screen the resolution of the player is exactly 1280x720. 1080p or 720p Is 1080 'too HD' for a face cam. 90 of people who watch twitch don't watch fullscreen. Twitch allows up to 1080p video at 60 frames per second. If you are streaming games then 720p is always the way to go and there isn't a real reason to go above that.
In order to live stream Full HD videos, you need to apply for their Level Up affiliate program. Stream went flawless, 0% dropped frames and always an excellent connection however, when I viewed it, as well as others, the stream looks like its in 480p. On Facebook, beginning streamers can only stream up to 720p video, so there’s no need to have more than 5 Mbps. Now, I set my bitrate/buffer to 2000, 720p downscale, and started streaming. I have been reading that non twitch partners should stream at 2000 bitrate/buffer 720p for the best settings.

Don’t post a link post (has exceptions). Fast paced games (like shooters) look mostly better with the 900p60fps option than the 1080p60fps with max bitrate of 6000.Don’t post without an informative title.Facebook recommends a bitrate range of 3,000 to 6000 kbps when streaming 1080p at 30 fps.
