Understanding Bitrate Units

kbps (Kilobits)

  • • Most common for streaming
  • • Used by OBS, Streamlabs
  • • 1000 kbps = 1 Mbps
  • • Typical range: 1000-6000

Mbps (Megabits)

  • • Used for internet speeds
  • • Upload/download ratings
  • • 1 Mbps = 1000 kbps
  • • ISP speed measurements

Gbps (Gigabits)

  • • High-speed connections
  • • Enterprise networks
  • • 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps
  • • Future-proofing calculations
