Question / Help Trying to get rid of stream delay between obs, and Twitch

[ssppiikkeerr]

hello all,
Im having a issue where when im trying to stream live to twitch, the stream is about 5-10 seconds off of my actions, words, game etc. I wanted to know if there was any way to fix this because it is kind of irritating watching stream to make sure everything is working and Twitch being off by that much. My computer is not a bad computer, by any means, so this isnt the problem, Thank you!

This is normal, you can't achieve any lower delay without sacrificing a lot of quality.

But... is it possible to configure OBS for less of a delay? Perhaps one has the bandwidth and system to handle it?

Yes, but you sacrifice a lot of quality to save a second or so at most. You have no control over buffering at twitch and the video player, it's honestly not worth trying.

Add tune=zerolatency to the x264 custom parameters.

yea I had found that researching through these two links:

My stream simply ends up with a blank black screen :/
