Although live streams are solid, I'm experiencing a 5+ second delay. This simply may be true of any streaming, though want to make certain my setup and settings are adequate.

Here's what I've tried and my system setup...
  • Streaming Preview on OBS is immediate
  • Streamed to Twitch and YouTube
  • Testing on Twitch Inspector is good...stable, 59-60 fps, no problems reported
  • Tested on Chrome and MSEdge
System:
Windows 10 Pro x64
i7-8700, 6 core CPU
GIGABYTE Z370 HD3P mobo
32 GB RAM
NVMe SSD
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 550 discrete video card
Internal graphics also enabled, though no monitor connected; Intel Quick Sync working (drivers are up-to-date)
6 monitors (1 HDMI & 1 DP connected to discrete vcard), 4 HDMI-to USB 3
TP-Link AC1900 WiFi PCIE Wireless Network Card

Internet Connection:
150/150 FiOS
No VPN
Cloudfare DNS
Under 50ms latency
Testing continually reveals 100/100 connection
Adapter connection speed to router continually 1GB +/-

OBS streaming-related Output settings:
Video Birate: 2500
Encoder: QSV (internal intel Quick Sync); have also tried Software x264 and Hardware (AMD)
Audio Bitrate: 96
Encoder preset: balanced

as in it takes 5 seconds for you to see it on the stream player after you see it in obs?
If so, that's actually a shorter delay than what is considered "reasonable"
