Question / Help How to lower quality?

[adamlad]

So just a simple question, how do i reduce the quality of my stream so my friend whos on a low internet speed, right now i took the settings off some youtube video and its the top quality, so if i had options "source,high,medium,low" its on source, how do i simply change that in the settings to the equivalent of medium or low

Thanks, hope it makes sense

Hi Adam,

My recommendation: Downscale to 720p, 30fps and 1500Kbps bit rate.

Thanks for the response, so the fps and bit rate determinate the quality, Does buffer size/resolution downscale or anything else matter?

actually only the bitrate matters and since you run 1:1 bitrate/buffersize you dont have to play around with it.

since you are aiming for a lower bitrate you also want to downscale due to the fact of pixelation and artifacting with a combination of high resolution and low bitrate.

720p30 1500 as suggest is usually a great point to stream at especially for people with a bad internet connection
