OBS Streaming Bad Quality

[Greenish]

Hey Guys,

I recently just started streaming on Twitch. Because I have bad Internet I have to stream at 720p 30fps with 800 Bitrate. I was doing a test and I have uploaded a short clip of what was happening the whole stream. 

What could be the problem? If you also want to see what settings I am using, 

What could it be?

Get a higher bitrate.

 

 

Go up to their max, which is 5000.

If your internet isn’t that good then streaming at higher resolutions and whatnot is impossible

Look, that's what you're missing.

 

You can choose not to do it, but you're also gonna have to deal with crappy quality.

 

You can experiment with something like 4000, 2500, etc but if that doesn't work you're out of luck.

I agree.

 

800KBps isn't even close to enough for 720p. You should raise it to around 3000KBps, which is equivalent to 3MBps and that does fit in your upload speed.

3000kpbs isn't needed for smooth 720p. One can get good quality in slower games just with 2000kbps, sweetspot in my testing was 2700kbps.

 

Also if upload is so unstable that it constantly dips to 2mbps, streaming anything 720p is not good idea. Maybe for testing out things, but eventually constant frame drops and stream lagging starts to annoy someone. If not viewer, then streamer themselves.
