💡 Optimization Tips
- • Use 70-80% of upload speed for stable streaming
- • Leave bandwidth for network overhead and other applications
- • Test your settings during different times of day
- • Consider using a wired connection for better stability
- • Monitor your stream for dropped frames and adjust accordingly
Understanding Bandwidth
Upload Speed
- • Total available bandwidth
- • Measured in Mbps (megabits per second)
- • Shared with other internet activities
- • Can fluctuate throughout the day
Streaming Bitrate
- • Should use 70-80% of upload speed
- • Measured in kbps (kilobits per second)
- • Leaves room for network overhead
- • Ensures stable streaming
Bandwidth Recommendations
Conservative (70%)
