Logitech C920 Camera Pixelated During High Motion Scenes?

[Darkest_Devil26]

Hello, I have a question in regards to my Logitech camera.

Whenever I use it for streams it appears blurry during higher motion gameplay scenes, especially on mobile Twitch. Now I'm not sure if this is just mobile Twitch being weird or my facecam/stream is having difficulties so I'd figure I'd come here before buying new hardware.

I have all the auto settings turned off as many sources recommended and I have attached my settings for both OBS and my face cam.

Also providing a sample clip as to what I mean https://clips.twitch.tv/ThoughtfulFastRavenMoreCowbell-XOHAf1r5eXTbrxho. I can provide a log file if needed but I'm not sure I need one for this particular case.

Thanks for any help in advance!

This is a symptom of insufficient bitrate, in general. If you're seeing the issue when viewing on Source, the only thing you can do is throw more bitrate or use a better encoder (which is not a silver bullet, just helpful).

Mobile Twitch is by-default downscaled to a lower resolution, and the transcoding they use is not the best, with more emphasis on watchability over an assumedly lower-bandwidth mobile connection. So re-encoding artifacts tend to be common.

As a side note, screenshots are almost always far less useful than a logfile, when it comes to troubleshooting. They contain all of your settings, as well as relevant diagnostic data, and are greatly preferred.

Alright here is my last log file, hoping this adds some more clarity.

Set this for your stream
under Stream
check Ignore streaming service setting recommendations

under output
set your bitrate to 8000 if your upload can support it
Profile high

under video
Downscale Filter Bicubic

under advanced
color space NV12
color space 709
color range partial

For your webcam
Set there the color range to partial.

If that did not help post a clip and a logfile again of the output of this settings.

So an update.

I have been using the recommended settings and its still doing it, the camera quality is still pretty bad, the gameplay appears to be fine though. I don’t know what the issue is.

Heres my last log file:https://obsproject.com/logs/HJRwXsvDI-cGoldk

And a clip of what I’m experiencing:https://clips.twitch.tv/ZanyAliveRabbitNotATK-HQPP7pEhg9URspiY

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
