Question / Help How to tell if your stream is lagging?

[Brockslide]

my connection is already kind of weak. so i wanted to know if there was a way of telling if the stream is lagging for other people. im new to streaming, so i am afraid that if anyone does join my stream they will immediately leave. is there an indicator to show if my stream is lagging or could be lagging?

if your connection is kind of weak then definitely don't watch your own while you stream but I'm sure you realize this. Yes, have a friend watch your stream for a few minutes and ask him what he thinks, ask him if it buffers for him.

If you have a weak connection its probably more on your end then on the viewers which will show in the log. so post your last logfile where you streamed.
