For many streamers, it can be infuriating to deal with "pixelated" or "blurry" streams. The issue may only pop up whilst moving, or it could be a consistent issue you deal with. It can be especially frustrating when everything seems fine in your OBS preview window, but in the VOD, the stream is grainy and unwatchable.
Today, I'll be going over a common reason why your livestreams are pixelated: your bitrate. This video will demonstrate how to adjust your OBS bitrate settings, along with tips on how to determine what OBS encoder to use for your specific setup.

Hope you found this video useful! I realized shortly after posting that I misspeak at times and say kiloBYTES instead of kiloBITS -- just pretend I always say kilobits so I don't have to re-record this video :)
What are the issues in the long run if you are not a partner on twitch streaming above 6k bitrate?
Love the video man but I’ve tried many things on obs for recording and still don’t know what to do, I only record gameplay to put it up on RUclips and still looks a bit blurry can you help me out these are my specs
-AMD Ryzen 7 5700
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and I only record warzone with 1080p as my resolution
@@xxLegendaryVikingxx how’s your WiFi
Really awesome dude, I liked that you gave people with lower end pc's actual fixes and options instead of just saying "get a better pc" really helps new streamers who are trying to build an audience but cant afford a better system. Your channel is rad
I just wanted to come back and say that I followed the advice in your video and it turned EVERYTHING around. I actually have good picture and stream quality now, where before it was occasionally blurry, and I really appreciate the help this video gave.
Can we hype this guy? He was the most descriptive and I've watched several of these tutorials. Good job sir 👌
glad it was helpful :)
get her number nga fuck you doin@@BigBadBeaver
This was actually really helpful. I was expecting to be confused, but this was super straightforward. Thank you.
Out of all the people I watched with help on my pc this guy is easily the best one! Very descriptive and helpful!
Thank you. After a week of trying to figure out my issue, you’ve given me the best feedback yet!
Underrated youtuber bro... keep up the professional explanations! soothing voice too
Glad the video was helpful, thanks for your feedback and compliments
Thank you so much !! Simple , quick & very helpful now 🔥 10/10
Thank you so much! This helped out immensly! You made it very easy to understand and to troubleshoot.
Truly thank you . This video has been invaluable for helping me with making my stream better for my viewers
Last year I started streaming with a low end pc (a laptop, to be precise) for both gaming and streaming. Most of these tips I learned on the run, experimenting with OBS and system settings.
The most clear and useful video i've watched. Thanks!
Very helpful and probably the best tutorial I have found, thanks.
I appreciate this video a lot, easy to understand and not boring at all. Will see if it helps on my next stream, thank you for the help video.
This video was great! after 1 year im still figuring out bitrate to make my streams look better thanks alot
Wow. Concise, to-the-point, and excellent comparisons between different settings. Great vid! You've got a great voice btw you ought to be doing sponsored segues.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you so much! This was easy to follow and understand and my recordings/streams look so much better now :D
Thanks for the education on bit rates. Im new to everything tech, I recently bought a PC and im use to simple MAC PCs. Recently came across the low quality coming out of my elgato and came across your video this helped a lot much is appreciated !
I like your content bro, your articulation is so good and i can see your video recording skill. Thank you for this video and really good tutorial, helped mi a lot!!! ❤
Awesome video man! Thanks for the help!
Thank you beaver, this was a great help, and also entertaining. :)
thank you lang.
Nothing new for me but you did it very good. Good information for beginners an the importest info in one video. Good work!
Thank you BBB. This is really helpful subscribed! 😀
Phenomenal video, amazing tips 👏
thank you so much, great video! It has so much useful knowledge.
i wish the best for you in the future g
such a helpful tutorial. you even went as far as showing examples, and telling us what the settings that need tweaked do. you earned my sub, much respect for you.
Thanks for the support glad it was helpful
Your vid just saved me alot of time my friend, thank you. Liked & Subscribed 👍
this is the best video about this hands down makes it so simple and understandable thanks g
Now this you call an informative video. Double thumbs up 👍for you bro. Very well explanation 👏 👍 👌
When streaming and gaming from a Single PC Setup, it can be quite demanding on both the cpu and GPU, especially when you stream on Twitch. That being said, Twitch servers are way different than RUclips. If one take the same recommended bitrates of Twitch and use it on RUclips, there will be No Pixelation, Stutters or Lag.
What I liked about this video is that, you explained it in detail and also showed some examples which was really awesome 👌 👏
Liked your vid and you got a sub bro.
Much love and respect for you.
Thank you this was incredibly helpful!
thanks for explaining and helping me understand
nice tut bro, very explainatory
this was a Big help for now i have fixed alot on obs, so thx alot
Thank you i was reviewing my stream and i didnt know how to fix the pixelation of my stream. Thank you again
Huge help!!! Thanks bud
I don't understand what's going on, I am streaming at 8000 bitrate 1080p, no dropped frames, cpu and gpu are sitting around 30-50% usage yet when I move at all my stream becomes super pixelated.

Check your internet bro
@@shiannafoxx my shits plugged in with a cat 8 Ethernet cable
@@statemind. It still doesn’t hurt to check
@@shiannafoxx no I know I’ve been spending most of my free time diagnosing this issue. I’m genuinely throwing money towards this I’m invested in internet to get me about 1GB of Dowload
Hey quick question, I'm trying to capture a media player and display it on the screen while i stream. I reduce the size of the captured window to make it not so instrusive but it looks really blurry on obs itself is there a way i can keep the crisp clear visuals of the window I'm trying to capture while also making it small enough to not be in the way? feels like when i shrink it I'm losing pixels or something..
Great video man
Dude awesome video, you fixed my stream! I appreciate it.
Glad I could help :)
tnx man.. very informative video...big help..
Thank U for this tutorial video for setting up a Good Stream .
Hey does using Ultra Low Latency effect the quality of my stream because I have already done everything you told in the video but my streams still look grainy.
Thanks, helped a lot
Excellente job sir!!
Thank you for the explanation, dude! So clearly explained! I understand a lot more of what I am doing.
Very informative and easy to follow instructions. A+ content. Thank you
ngl im always trying to improve my streams this is the first of say 50 videos that actually helped
Very well done:)
i thought you were going to talk about it but you kind of skipped over what to do regarding it.. but for the keyframe interval in that situation if you want a better quality stream when movement is happening do you want higher keyframe interval or do we always keep the default of 2?
Hi there, when I set the Encoder Preset to "Quality" is when my stream looks way better, but that overloads my OBS and makes my stream freeze a lot. Could I get rid of the freezes without setting the preset to Balanced? Thanks for the video!
what encoder should I use if I played my game on console and using my pc for stream? x264 or nvenc?
Wow this is so professional and actually helps! Thank you!
Well done!
Big Big Giga W Video thank you for explaining :D
thanks! normally i stream games that doesnt really demand much quality like dota and pokemon but then i noticed this when I played Fallout on stream. In the end i had to drop fps from 60 to 30 due to my connection. Maybe its just copium but i dont see 30fps being bad for streaming games not unless your actual game without the stream is running at the same fps.
Great Video 👍🏽
Thank you Brother! can you make a live stream tutorial on FB Gaming with a 1:1 ratio
so im using amd idk if that matters but im using 6000 bitrate i know i can handle it i have 60 upload speed and it still looks so blurry ive watched maybe 10 videos nothing worked what can i dooooo
CRF / CQP is def better for recording however because it ajust the bitrate to the quality of the end result instead of managing a bitrate cap.
what about x265??
Thank You !
bitrate good but still have this problem
change your preset to slow (Good Quality)
Were you able to fix the problem?
nope@@Cambo1579

Dude this was epic gamer
It really depends on gpu model, 1660, 2070, 30’s 40’s. Each is a different settings model really in the end. And 6000 bit rate with high motion @ resolution of 1080p will look rough. Static or slow moving games will not be so effected.
Very informative video. Thank you so much! Still a question though. I'm running 2060 (so not that far worse than your 2070) and I have almost the same upload rate as you. But when i streamed Scorn last week on 1080p60fps I had this pixelation like you had in Skyrim. Is it possible that Dark or Darker Games are more demanding on my upload? I fixed it by lowering the resolution to 720p but I dont really like that solution. Any ideas?
Some scenes, especially if there's lots of fog, volumetrics, static, or extremely detailed textures, will be more demanding to encode than others. I don't know what scorn is, but perhaps the game has a lot of the above?
@@BigBadBeaver it has detailed textures, a lot of fog and is really dark. Guess that's the problem then. Dark Souls worked great yesterday with the same settings. Thank you :)
what is your streamlabs obs settings? can you make a vid on it or smth :D nice vid!
quick question? what preset are you using on for encoding / what multipass mode do you use .. i have a 3060 gpu an cant seem to get it right
what do you mean older intel CPU, what gen? I have nvidia GeForce 1050 TI on a laptop and intel i7-7700HQ and the quick sync encoder seems to have better result. still not what I imagine though :D good video, thanks!
so even if i have ~800mbps download/upload, while streaming on twitch, my limit is only 6k bitrate even though i can handle a lot more? (nvenc encoder, streaming through streamlabs obs)
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
my gameplay looks fine but my face-cam becomes super blurry after i upload to youtube, do you have any tips for that?
thank you bro
DAMN!!! Been looking for this thorough & precise explanations & tips for months!!! LOL! Only problem is the discrete gpu of my loptop failed, and is not working anymore. Only have left is x264 and Quicksync. Specs of laptop is i7 8th gen, with 8gbs or ram.. I know this comment is just new after months of this video upload of yours. But I would really appreciate if there's other ways to make my stream more pleasing. Also the upload speed in OOKLA says 80.24, but i think its converted into 9? I guess. Hope for your reply bro. Thanks in advance.
How do you set the bitrate on a playstation 4 pro ? Thanks 👍
I am using a 4060 Graphics card Laptop and streaming through NVENC H.264 on 1080p with 12 mbps bitrate, still it's not even as clear as a 6mbps bitrate. Streams get blurry, eventhough if there is no rendering or encoding lag and the network is perfect. No frames get skipped and the recording also works just fine. But the live stream gets blurrier while moving especially. Any Ideas??
Damn... your the only one i really understood what you where talking about. I never understood what the other meant while they where explaining something. Thx for the video.
And sorry for my bad english XD
Oh and i have a question.
I have a RX 6700 Ti and a Intel i5 12600
Would that be enought to stream doom eternal or other games?
I tried making a video of doom eternal because i wantet to test how it looks like. But it had a lot of pixels. But that was the only issue. Do you know what i could do to stream games whit very good graphics?
question: does a CPU/GPU mismatch also cause pixelation/stream issues? i just upgraded to a rtx3070 but i only have a i7 7700 and i get stream pixelation no matter what settings i use in obs. so i wonder if its because the GPU is too powerful for the CPU and the CPU is bottlenecking somehow
i think you should take look at qsv encoder in 11th and 12th gens this encoder slightly beats both nvidia and amd at 3500 bit rate
Clean.
Very calming video, you have a great delivery style. Sub!
one thing i would recommend is changing your webcam to actually face the gameplay of your stream. Having it on the left while your looking straight at the game, makes the stream look like you're looking past the game. Move the webcam overlay to the right, still looking straight at the game, so it looks more pleasing to the viewer that it "looks" like your actually looking at the gameplay on stream. (8:10) is what i'm referring to.
Thanks Mate... i allways got the problem
what settings do you use to stream?
I will be testing out the bitrate of 3000K CPU at 720p 30fps. Hopefully it'll work nicely on ATS.
Back then, I streamed at a lower birate playing sonic the hedgehog and everything looked soo good! Now something changed. I don't understand why they do that for people who has lower upload.
if i have 10 upload and 30 downland in speed test . what bit used it
?
Liked, subscribed and finishing the video now and see you all in the discord 🤙
What is obs and how do I find the setting for it to change bitrate? Watching people's streams is rubbish when they moving as u said
My bit rate is high and I want to switch it to use my gpu as the encoder but the options don't come up
I have a low end pc with ryzen 3 pro 4350g processor without any dedicated graphics card, 16GB Ram will it work for me ?
I would like to add that if you have a slow internet or something, instead of just dropping the bitrate, it can also be useful to drop the framerate (ideally not below 30) or the resolution. As then each pixel gets more of that total bitrate dedicated towards it. A 720p 30fps stream at 3000kbps will always look better than a 1080p 60 fps stream at the same 3000, or even slightly higher like 4000 kbps. Because such a low bitrate will never allow 1080p to be as sharp or 60fps to be as smooth as it can be in more demanding scenes, so in some situations it can look even worse.
So how can I upgrade my out scale resolution…monitor?internet? Or graphic card?
my savior thank you sir
Exactly my Issue too and I'm looking for solving this for weeks now. My example is just another but I guess this counts the same way.
I'm trying to make Livestreams from the PS4pro without Capture Card or PC, I know this is horrible but I don't got Money to buy a PC that I would like to have.
My Upload gives 25 Mbit/s, Sometimes even 30 Mbit/s but my Stream goes pixelated by faster movement even on 720p at 30fps what should eat about 5 Mbit/s I guess.
So what's the Issue at this example?
I tested a few things in this video because I want to start streaming a bit and wow, I didn't think my internet was so fast, my upload and download speeds were capped at roughly 750 mb/s
Sup I got a 14700K with a 4070TI super and 32 gigs of ram at 7000. I got a 1440p monitor and that is how I want to play the games. What should I set the output resolution? 1080p or 720p?
Mine worked so well omg!
how did you get vp09 codec for your video?
Im so confused ive had this problem forever my interent isnt the best, im using a wireless ethernet thing and i have a stable 70 upload speed but my bitrate fluctuates from 4500 to 0
Does cpu have issues with bitrate dropping even tho my upload is at 20 and my bitrate is at 3500 I’m using an i5 10400 and a 3060
Whatsup man when i do the soeed test how do i do the math to do the bitrates,?
I am streaming with 2 PCs via NDI plug-in, my gaming laptop with a 5900HX does the encoding with x264 and I can do Slow 720p. Medium, fast or faster look horrible (really pixelated when I move) my upload speed is 30Mbs. I played around with the settings however nothing helps.
