Question / Help Having issues streaming

[spacecatmaster]

Hey everyone, I'm new to streaming and did some test streams today playing hearthstone and my test viewers told me that the stream kept buffering and had a very long delay. I'm wondering if I can even stream. Here are my specs:

CPU TYPE:
AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
CPU SPEED:
1.92 GHz
SYSTEM MEMORY:
5.86 GB
VIDEO CARD MODEL:
AMD Radeon HD 7640G
VIDEO CARD MEMORY:
3.18 GB
VIDEO CARD DRIVER:
aticfx32.dll

Throw those specs into the estimator for a good clue. Also, even with great upload, try starting at a bitrate of 2000kbps and go from there.

Also, since you're using a laptop, make sure if you're streaming to use a LAN cable, rather than wireless internet if possible. Depending on your setup it could cause issues (wireless interference, etc. )
