obs Does having a big stream delay impact peformance?

[KawaiiNacho]

Ive been streaming mostly singleplayer games or games where stream sniping isnt possible. But now I want to stream one and ofcourse, you are going to get stream sniper. Probably my best bet at fighting it is having a huge delay. Im talking about a few minutes. 5 to 10 or so. But does having a delay actually impact your peformance or bandwidth? Where does it keep the 5 - 10 minutes that havent been streamed yet?

It depends on their servers threshold. I cant see why a 5 minute delay would do any harm.

So if I understand it right it gets uploaded on their servers and put on a "hold"?

or does it keep a file somewhere on my computer?
