Question / Help Best Quality to Start At?

[apwhitelaw]

I stream every once in a while, but the main thing I worry about is that when I try to stream in HD, many users won't be able to load it and I feel like they won't want to watch. On the other hand, I don't want people to not watch because it is low quality.

I usually do 720p because I know not a lot can run 1080p, but even 720 is hard for many people. What is the best to set it at?

I stream at 720p, I think it's perfect due to the fact is it less cumbersome on my pc, less bandwidth for viewers, and I think it is perfectly clear.

If you are really unsure, just do something like 720p@30 FPS. Easy on the bandwidth for you and your viewers, easy on the CPU requirement for you and your viewers as well and should still look quite good.
