I think for people who just begin streaming its smart to Stream on a lower quality then something like 1080p anyway, because Viewers cant scale down the quality of the Stream as long as youre not Twitch Partner. So People with low Internet Connection couldnt see your Stream.
not only i got answered all my questions and more, but also felt very entertained the same time, this video is way above the standard, hope you guys swimming in gold. thank you.
Also important to note, viewers are a lot more forgiving if you are running at a lower resolution (as long as it's at least 720/30) than they are to a stream that struggles to keep consistent higher resolution/fps. Another important point, if you are not a Twitch affiliate, your viewers do not have the option to choose a lower resolution/fps, so they are stuck watching your computer and internet struggle to keep higher resolution/fps. Even for affiliates sometimes Twitch won't let your users change the quality. If you are just barely able to keep up, better to stream at little bit lower quality, then force higher quality.
I don't think it's the streamer's fault. I can load 4k videos on youtube no problem. I can barely get 480p on any streamer on twitch. There's something wrong with the servers
Hey um, you have a lot of fans over in Australia. The prices of components here cost a lot, could you please do a few videos/tutorials about how to build a nice $1000, $500 and $1500 gaming rigs, according to the Australian prices, and including all costs that you will have to pay including shipping fees
It's relevant to this video though. If you're using something like Radeon ReLive or NVIDIA ShadowPlay to stream, GPU (hardware) encoding is the default, which won't greatly affect your performance even at very high bitrates. In fact since hardware encoding is typically worse in quality than software encoding, you typically need to increase the bitrate slightly to get the same crisp image. If someone doesn't know all this (which I bet most people watching videos on technology basics don't), and assumes that ReLive/ShadowPlay works the same as OBS or XSplit, then this video ends up being misleading. This could have been mentioned for clarity in less than 15 seconds. Same goes for motion content. You could explain that different games require different bitrates to look good, and that people should watch their own streams to check what works for them. Again, takes less than 10 seconds and is very relevant to the topic of bitrates, especially for streaming beginners.
This Video isn't quite the whole story, and only covers a tiny portion of important settings. ________________________________ For 1080p60, a bitrate cap of 6000 simply isn't enough to output "Artifact-free" 1080p at 60 frames a second. This is especially prevalent in High action games such as "Rocket League" or "CS: GO". However, if you are streaming something like "Oxygen Not Included", where the visual data isn't constantly in motion, 6000 bitrate, or even less will be necessary for fluid, "Artifact-free" streaming. In the above scenario for high action games, a 720p60 quality stream, a CBR 5000 x264 encoder at "Very Fast" is recommended for general, catch-all streams. These settings can be tweaked further if your processor is at least an i7 - 6700k or faster, where you could even bump the setting to "Faster" or even slower; if the title in question being streamed isn't super demanding of the CPU. However, if you care deeply for the quality stream you are outputting to your viewers, I highly recommend creating game-specific OBS "Profiles" if using OBS, to fine-tune your encoder based on the game you are streaming, to really get the most quality out of your system. This means, for example: Processor: I7 - 6700k OC 4.7ghz OBS Profile: Rocket League Encoder: X264 Bitrate: 5000 Rescaled Output: 720p60 Encoder Speed: Faster --------- Processor: I7 - 6700k OC 4.7ghz OBS Profile: Oxygen Not Included Encoder: X264 Bitrate: 6000 Rescaled Output: Unchecked, Native 1080p60 Encoder speed: Very Fast Note: I'm unsure if an overclock has an effect on the encoder's cpu usage, I assume it does, but I'm not sure it matters much if its run stock or not, or to the level I have mine set to. ------- So let's highlight some things about the two profiles I use. Rocket League is a high action Rocket powered car soccer game that has LOW CPU usage. This allows us to run our encoder at a slower setting than our Generic Catch all setting for new games you haven't fine-tuned, giving the processor more time per frame to inject MORE quality into each frame. This is possible because the game in question being streamed has a very low CPU overhead in comparison to our next example. However, Oxygen Not Included is a LOW ACTION High CPU intensity game, meaning you can push out native 1080p60 without much worry of "Compression Artifacts" mentioned above from bitrate constraints, HOWEVER, due to its abnormally high CPU usage, especially in a save at around 300 cycles, we have to slow down the encoder to prevent capping out our CPU to 100%, causing MAJOR slowdowns, frame losses, artifacts, etc etc. The idea is to keep your CPU's utilization PEAK as close to 100% without EVER being 100%; I aim for 92-95% range while the encoder is running. Unfortunately, short of upgrading your gaming PC's CPU to something like an I9 or Ryzen7 or even Threadripper, Your only option for getting much more quality requires you to invest some more money into a streaming dedicated PC, where the CPU is wholly devoted to encoding, allowing you to push the encoding speed down to medium, slow, or slower, depending ONLY on the processor you chose. The load of the game is dedicated to JUST the gaming PC, and the Load of the stream is dedicated to JUST the streaming pc. Just a quick Note, Very slow and placebo are EXTREMELY demanding of your CPU, even with the highest end CPU on the market (At this time) and are unrealistic to try and get, because the quality injected by them, and as you would expect, is something of a placebo. Its "Better" on paper, but imperceptible unless you "Want it to be better looking" For the record, The use of the NVENC and other encoders are TOTALLY viable, especially given that these chips are streaming dedicated units, unutilized by the GPU in any way except for encoding processing. It achieves the same benefit of a dedicated x264 streaming pc, at NO additional cost. The drawback is that it isn't quite as good as X264 at its slower encoding settings in terms of OVERALL(Keyword) visual fidelity. There are some things nvenc does BETTER than x264, even at the slower encoding settings. For Reference, NVENC and H264/H265 are about at the "Very Fast" quality as compared to x264, with some added benefits and drawbacks I won't be getting into here as this is already a very long comment. Hope this helps!
My max download from Twitch for a single stream is 6000 kbit/s. If the streamer streams at that speed or more, I always buffer. 5000 should be adequate for 1080p60 (since Twitch says to use 4500-6000 for that anyway).
If your processor isn't that good, use NVENC instead of x264. You need to up the bitrate to get similiar quality as x264, but it uses less cpu and more gpu. With x264 you get better quality for lower bitrate. I believe the twitch recommendations use NVENC, so you might be able to go lower with x264, but I'm not that sure about it.
Transcoding is another issue on twitch, only partners are guaranteed transcoding. Which means if you don't have it and streaming at 6000 will limit your streams to people with fast internet. Also those silly bandwidth caps from certain isp
Naptime875 well 6000 isn't much and I do t know anyone that can't watch that unless they have crazy shit internet and long as u get a few views u get transcoding so..
Talk about the NDi plug in for streaming on OBS. It's a life saver for encoding video. Instead of needing an expensive second streaming PC I just use a laptop with a reasonably efficient CPU (something above 1ghz) to handle the stream to twitch. I send the stream from my gaming PC over my network to my laptop, both computers running OBS, which then encodes that stream and sends it to twitch. Which means I can play with a higher resolution and graphics settings. The laptop running OBS can down scale the stream to 720p so it looks really clear and doesn't require much upload speed/higer Bitrate.
You can also use a hardware encoder. Basically does the same thing, but may be less expensive if you don't already have second capable computer. I use the Videon Sonora
Crazy how I began streaming last night, and I got Fiber with a ryzen 1500x streaming via OBS over NDI through a HP Dl380 dual xeons with 12c/24t doing x264 encoding. ^.^

Don't insult the guy who looks like the grown up version of the main kid protagonist from The Christmas Story from decades ago! :P He'll shoot your eye out with over 6Mbps of internet streaming.
Twitch only recommends these bitrates, if you can push 7-8k for (like all big time 900p60/1080p60 streamers do) go for it. Only thing left out in this video is bufferbloat, be sure to not push your bitrate over 80% of your max upload speed or you may introduce stuttering from your modem or isp. If you are still getting stuttering you may want to upgrade to a newer modem or talk to your isp about getting yourself put on the FastPath (dsl only afaik)
The last time I streamed was before Twitch introduced the bandwidth increase. Back then almost everyone was limited to 3500 bitrate. That was the time 720p was required to keep the images looking good at 60 fps. Now with no stated limits again 6000 should be good enough for 1080p 30 for most games, and games that require even more can be bumped up a bit.
I have 50mbps upload speed and my stream was buffering …. I was very confused of why. I changed my bit rate to higher and it fixed it?? Make that make sense lol

RUclips allows much higher bitrates though. I've tested game streaming at 1440p60 using 16Mbps, and it looked way better than a 1080p60 6Mbps Twitch stream. Especially the VP9 transcoded recording looked much better after the streaming ended. But gotta say that 1080p and below resolution realtime H.264 transcodes made by RUclips during live broadcasting looks way uglier than Twitch's transcode. :( I wonder if RUclips will ever transcode H.264 source streams to VP9 during live broadcasts. I guess it would look much better with a decent source stream.
I got 500/500 internet but still my stream is a bit blurry at times, although when I upload to youtube there's no blurr that I can see. Does that mean there's something with my bitrate?
Why only Twitch streaming? Can we get some help with Mixer streaming, and RUclips streaming? Mixer has a 0 delay feature you guys should check out, and explain too. Would be awesome to hear back!
At least this guy explains the basics a little more better than Linus. With Linus there's a bunch of shit I have no idea what he'd talking about and gotta research.
This is why I started watching livestreams on youtube, streaming fast action demanding graphic games at 1080p 60fps really need 8mbps to 12mbps bitrate also youtube allows up to 4k 51mbps and many streamer stream at 1440p 10mbps to 15mbps that I watch.
I stream on Xbox and when I pull up my stream it’s so bad and laggy so I go Into twitch on Xbox and it says your stream is laggy lower your bitrate so I did and it’s at 400 and it’s still laggy
Hi there. I'm trying to stream straight from my PS4 to RUclips as that's the only way I can do it right now. My upload is 3Mb. I set up the stream for 720p-standard. But the stream was stuttering. I got a onscreen notification that the bitrate was too low and it needs turning up, but it doesn't tell you how to do it. I've looked through all the settings in RUclips studio and still couldn't find anywhere that you can turn up the bitrate. Please can you tell me how to do this? Also what is latency, there were three options for that to? Cheers for any help
tl;dw For SINGLE PC stream setup for gaming content: 720p60 / 6000 bitrate / NVENC encoder. Drop the fps if you can't do 3500+ bitrate. Only use 1080p for mostly static images/low textures.
Pretty disappointed that you didn't actually link to the twitch page with recommended bitrate, considering that with technology the recommended is likely to change.
because of where i live, my internet is limited to 0.7Mbps upload. is it better to focus on more frames, larger resolution, or higher compression bitrate?
I am starting a streaming channel can you please tell me at what rate i should stream 720P60 or 1080p60 ?? I mean what resolution you generally watch youtube based on your internet.
I think for people who just begin streaming its smart to Stream on a lower quality then something like 1080p anyway, because Viewers cant scale down the quality of the Stream as long as youre not Twitch Partner. So People with low Internet Connection couldnt see your Stream.
This is probably the best tech advice video i have actually seen on RUclips! Straight to the point, easy to follow, no messing around! Thank you

No mention of GPU encoding, or how the motion content of your stream (Counter Strike vs. Hearthstone) greatly affects your required bitrate?

Colton is stepping up his presenter abilities. Great job, sir.
Thanks for making a video explaining the bitrate in a direct and solid manner

So helpful for a person who is about to start streaming
RUclips has so much better quality than Twitch. No big buffer no big quality loss when streaming at 1440p. And 60FPS in Twitch feel like a joke.
I can agree. and I think RUclips is more user friendly than Twitch.
Ah I love the editing in these types of videos
Thanks for the help brother! also this video was entertaining to watch I must say haha

There are people who like to multitwitch (ie watch multiple streams), if they can watch 3 streams or just yours, you're going to get bumped.
So what's the golden number? 720p 60fps at 4000 or even lower?

For any new streamers with no transcoders kicked in, you can't go over 2,500 bitrate otherwise your stream will buffer
Dry4Haz no it doesn't lmfao
Dry4Haz my friend just started he have 1080p medium CPU preset 6500 bitrate 60fps looks great he has 24. Followers no problem with buffer lol
Hi there. I'm trying to stream straight from my PS4 to RUclips as that's the only way I can do it right now. My upload is 3Mb. I set up the stream for 720p-standard. But the stream was stuttering. I got a onscreen notification that the bitrate was too low and it needs turning up, but it doesn't tell you how to do it. I've looked through all the settings in RUclips studio and still couldn't find anywhere that you can turn up the bitrate. Please can you tell me how to do this? Also what is latency, there were three options for that to?
Cheers for any help
It wasn’t horrible, Colton. It wasn’t horrible. Jk, nice job!
I've already seen two comments that say pick a random number, please tell me there are not more!
tl;dw For SINGLE PC stream setup for gaming content: 720p60 / 6000 bitrate / NVENC encoder. Drop the fps if you can't do 3500+ bitrate. Only use 1080p for mostly static images/low textures.
Oh, hi Colton. Linus finally shamed you into doing a Tech Quickie, huh?
That RWJ reference at the end tho
Should update this as they allow 4k settings now
thanks colton!
Pretty disappointed that you didn't actually link to the twitch page with recommended bitrate, considering that with technology the recommended is likely to change.
What about an episode about Unicode and Text formatting
GPU encoding is IMO the way to go, especially if you don't have a powerful CPU
So my kbs goes hay wire back and forth from 7000 and 2000 any tips?
because of where i live, my internet is limited to 0.7Mbps upload. is it better to focus on more frames, larger resolution, or higher compression bitrate?
I am starting a streaming channel can you please tell me at what rate i should stream 720P60 or 1080p60 ??
I mean what resolution you generally watch youtube based on your internet.
RUclips don't have resolution restrictions like Twitch so you can either stream on 1080p or 720p, viewers will be fine.
Is 1080p 60fps and 3,500 big rate a good stream quality?
Assume that your audience doesn't live in a hut and their connection is above 56Megabits and you're golden for 1080p. 4500 - 5500.
How to choose the suitable bitrate to record gameplay in 1080p 60fps then?
