Thanks a lot!

@carlcann It all depends on how great is your internet connection,CPU and "bla-bla".You can try using the estimator.
But personally,I use these settings:

Output

Video bitrate:2200(It's best at 2000-2200 for 720p)
Audio bitrate:128
Enable Advanced Encoder Settings(enabled automatically when using Advanced Mode)
Encoder/CPU preset=ultrafast(you can use superfast or veryfast if your CPU can handle it)

Video

Base(Canvas) resolution:1280x720(if you have a monitor bigger than this,use 1920x1080)
Output(Scaled/downscale) resolution:1280x720(720p output,change this to 1920x1080 for 1080p output)
Downscale filter:Bilinear(I use this because I didn't change the Output resolution earlier)
Common FPS values:30(Use 60 if your CPU can handle it)

Can you explain what the audio bitrate does?

Can you explain what the audio bitrate does?

It determines the quality of your audio.Higher is better.128 is moderate,because when streaming,total bitrate=video bitrate+audio bitrate(because you send video and audio together).So if I stream using the bitrate I set earlier in this post,the total bitrate sent would be 2328,which is below 2500,the recommended maximum bitrate Twitch non-partnered users should use.

Hope this helps!^_^

@carlcann Maybe I have found the problem.

What do you set your output to?You can only run at 480p because your upload speed is way too low.
