Question / Help OBS Studio limiting Bitrate output?

Hi guys.

I can use OBS Classic with 4500 Bitrate normally (my channel has the ability to stream at this bitrate) but OBS Studio keeps it at 3500 for some reason.

No dropped frames, same servers.

Is it a limitation by OBS?

You'll have to uncheck "Enfoce streaming service encoder settings" to go over the official recommended bitrate by twitch for most people. Keep in mind that you also have to adjust the keyframe interval afterwards manually. Im not sure right now if that checkbox is in simple output mode, might have to switch it to advanced.

Well, that's a simpler answer than I expected.

I set the Keyframe interval to 2 (recommended for twitch)

Thank you for such a quick answer.
