I was just wondering if there was any way for me to stream on Youtube and Twitch at 1080p at 60fps? Would it be some settings that I would have to change? I have a GTX 1060 6GB, so it should be able to run things nicely? Streaming at 480p and 614p is just something that I don't want to do...
 
You are streaming at a resolution of 1088x614, not sure why you would expect 1080p on Youtube or Twitch?
That resolution only gives you 480p max quality setting on Youtube.

The resolution needs to be set at 1920x1080 to be a 1080p feed.
1080 refers to the video height, not video width.

Well thank you very much for the advice, but do you happen to know if the projection of the screen will display properly on YouTube and Twitch? The quality is definitely there now but I just want to make sure it is being displayed as a full page rather than a section?
 
Youtube and Twitch expect a video with 16:9 aspect ratio, so you should send such a video. 16:9 is the ratio of the x- and y-resolution. So if you have some desired y-resolution, you can compute the corresponding x-resolution. If your desired y-resolution is 1080, multiply by 16 and divide by 9 to get the x-resolution: 1080 * 16 / 9 = 1920.

There are some magic standard resolutions Youtube downscales every video to. These are called 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, 240p, 144p and correspond to the y-resolution. Everything between these y-resolutions is downscaled to the next lower y-resolution, i. e. if you send a video with 1088x614, it is downscaled to 480p, which is 853x480, so your slightly higher resolution is lost. You do best, if your y-resolution corresponds exactly to one of the magic resolutions. Youtube doesn't down- or upscales to the nearest resolution, it always downscales to the next lower resolution, so if you send a video with y-resolution of 1079, it is downscaled to 720p.
