We’d advise sticking to either 1920 x 1080 or downscaling to 1280 x 720. In the Output (Scaled) resolution menu, you can choose your output resolution from a list of many.

While in streamlabs, head over to the settings menu and click the ‘Video’ tab. The most common values to stream at are 720p and 1080p. The higher the value, the higher the quality of your stream. Resolution is the size and quality at which your viewers will be able to watch your stream. In an ideal world, everyone would stream at 1440p and 60fps but the reality is that streaming software will limit the resolution you can stream to 720 or 1080p. The table below will tell you which bitrate value is suitable for your internet speed: The bitrate for your stream completely depends on your upload speed. Obviously, when you’re streaming you are sending your video information to a platform (YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc.) and so upload speed is critical. Upload speed – This is how fast your PC can upload information to the internet. This is somewhat irrelevant for streaming but the higher this value is, the more likely your Upload will also be high. The slower the number, the better the results.ĭownload speed – This is how fast your PC can download information from the internet.

Ping – This is how quickly your PC can be reached by a host via the internet. When you run the test you’ll be met with 3 results Ping, Download, and Upload. This is the unfortunate truth for many who have slower internet speeds and no way to increase them.įirst of all, check your internet speed using an online speed checker like Ookla. Your internet speed directly affects your stream quality.
