BITRATE Explained | Best Settings in OBS

[@SudsyLoofah]

By far the absolutely best explanation of bitrate and walkthrough on OBS on KZbin Thank you.

[@xxLegendaryVikingxx]

This helped so much I was so confused about bitrate when trying to stream on KZbin

[@ItsJamzbtw]

Best explanation I've seen so far. Thanks so much for providing me with the information and tools I needed to be able to experiment on my own.

[@RQUKOfficial]

Love the water analogy. Very helpful.

[@jaycarlton2010]

Awesome video where he explains advanced features in a simple way that anyone should be able to understand. Thanks!!!

[@preacherplays]

That was.... Insanely helpful and clear. Thank you! Subbed!

[@vvskianovio]

THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY EXPLAINING THIS

[@Dragon_Jewelz]

Thank you so much...my upload was only 4....i was set at 5...i truned it down to 2 and nice steady stream...!!!! yay!!! thank you so much!!

[@moreyouknowcrypto]

This was a very helpful video! Thank you so much. Subscribed 👊

[@aranhawaii]

Awesome, thank you!

[@JuandeDiosConlaGente]

Thank you so much. For someone just starting to live stream, this was the best video I'd watched so far.

[@publiclybuzzed]

Thanks for this video. Gonna try some of this out.

[@BowerP0w3r]

If I have an i9-12900k thats never been really used over 50% would it be better to use that for encoding than my gpu that runs around 90% most the time?

[@Mr.Plant1994]

Unless you want to stream at a lower quality like 360p, or you have a top of the line gpu, it’s usually better to use software rendering rather then gpu rendering

[@GoldSrc_]

Your GPU has a separated hardware video encoder, streaming should never affect your games even if your GPU was at 100%.

[@use0fweapons]

dude THANK YOU so much for this. several videos just rattled off settings without any great explanation, even the obs discord snuffed me with a "use simple mode!" or whatever it is. i need the DETAILS ya know? thanks again!

[@alienbotfarm187]

Lol i watched best settings video onhere and now im looking for more details on everything!! Good luck

[@PrplMunkys]

Curious what you think when people say you should only stream on twitch at 960p as opposed to 1080?

[@ling6701]

That sink metaphor works great, thank you

[@SantodosAssassinos]

Thank you for this video and the information !!! Very helpful

[@aranhawaii]

Glad it was helpful!

[@superiorstreaming7350]

The nightmare of my OBS streaming is the bitrate randomly dropping to zero. All the forums are suggesting this is not related to wifi. I am limited to streaming with a laptop when using OBS because I am mobile. I noticed on my last stream that the cpu usage went up to 98% and then came back down to around 50. This then affects the bitrate. I am trialing disabling my antivirus as this seems to use the most cpu. Do you have any other suggestions.

[@kirillch]

Very good clear explanation. Thanks. Also CapCut works with mkv directly

[@Aussiecakes]

Thanks super helpful, best video I've found!

[@aranhawaii]

Glad it helped!

[@AkaCornelious]

Awesome video you really are good at explaining things but KZbin tells me that using 3000 bitrate is to low any suggestions

[@xrel3nt]

This makes zero sense I have tried every bitrate from 2500 to 4000 with lowest quality to highest quality they all look the same no setting looked better. I have 10 upload with 250 download I don't understand nothing looks better or worse.

[@RioMuzikBiz]

hi i have a question if i have 10.6 upload speed and i set my bit rate to 6-8 mbps why is my stream still blurry ? i dont lag or buffer but its really blurry

[@CurrentGenGamesWithNick]

Have a question I'm confused about this I have 985 Mbps upload and download I'm trying to record 4K HDR with a capture card from the PlayStation so I'm confused on what to put in that great record

[@joshuaamador-coppin155]

Actually amazing video. No nonsense.

[@indigoiozzi]

Hello! I've been using a Ryzen 5 5600G for streaming on KZbin. Whenever I check my VODs I notice that my streams are blurry. Since I don't have a dedicated GPU (the 5600g has a Vega 7), I use the x264 encoder. However, I've noticed that I have the option "AMD HW H.264 (AVC)" available. Should I use this? Or is it not suited for integrated graphics/Vega 7?

[@IFA1]

yes ryzen is amd thats the one you should use like us nvidia owners like he mentions should use the one with the nvidia name....hope that helps

[@Tom22397]

My speed is 500mbps what would you recommend the bitrate. I'm streaming to twitch?

[@Vanidar50]

many thanks for this video! Explained very well...

[@aranhawaii]

You're welcome!

[@JohnDoe-dw3hj]

But that much high bitrate means long rendering time and long uploading time. And doesn't YT have it a like 30? Won't it hurt the quality if its that much compression?

[@tonynahon]

Thanks for this video - very helpful. Is there a way to measure the actual amount of live stream data going out from OBS onto the network? A utility or a system measurement? (I am running on a Mac). Thanks. . .

[@aranhawaii]

I know on Windows you can open task manager and click the Network tab to see how much is going in and out in real time, so I'm sure Mac OS has something similar.

[@tonynahon]

@@aranhawaii OK - thanks.

[@mikeyr5275]

"Activity Monitor" app ➝ "Network" tab

[@muddassirahmad36]

Best video so far

[@GladwinNewton]

@9:40 for me in preset it shows a drop down box from p1 to p6 and not performance

[@nayr]

same did you find anything new on this?

[@dij7a]

what is the best bitrate or youtube live streaming of games i dont have issue with internet speed ?

[@GoldSrc_]

20000 maybe, it should already look good at 15000 for 1080p 60.

[@DMCRacing82]

Hey man. I have a AMD ryzen7 laptop and it gives me the option to use integrated graphics. Should I use the CPU or GPU?

[@Jade.Hanami]

Can you see improvements switching from quality to performance on a good pc?

[@FAMEAcademyNY]

Guy!!! That mkv vs mp4 information was INVALUABLE!!! Everyone else is just saying set it to mp4. Great video. Thanks!!!

[@AdamGell]

Excellent information.. TY ..what bitrate would you operate at if reading from speediest came back with upload at 85 mbps?

[@aranhawaii]

No need to stream above 6000

[@AdamGell]

@@aranhawaii Thank you but I need to set bitrate on OBS when streaming KZbin live.. I’m getting spinning wheel buffering

[@Sgt_Miller]

Really helpful, thankyou!!

[@GladwinNewton]

which encoder would you suggest for recording ? NVEDIA NVEC H.264 vs HEVC

[@aranhawaii]

Probably Nvidia

[@GladwinNewton]

@@aranhawaii both has Nvidia nvec as their starting name

[@aranhawaii]

See what changes when you choose one over the other, and whichever options give you choices between Performance and Quality should be the right one to try first.

[@outbreak_monkey]

So my UL is 21mbps, so my kbps should be 18,000? Not 8,000? OBS has it recommended to 10,000

[@TheRoyalFamily3000]

Thank you!

[@CallMeV44]

I got the wifi thing on my PC and the cable is in the PC and I got an 442.49 and I think is bad is it? also should I put it at 4k bits when I did the test i got discord on Also cool vid

[@GamingForTheRecentlyDeceased]

is it worth going up to 40000 bitrate? Nvidia can easily handle 50000 on my rig but not sure about OBS. are there diminishing returns going past 8000?

[@outbreak_monkey]

He's not very interactive I see. What did you land on? I'm at 21 mbps and I was told by another guy who streams to set it to 8,000kbps

[@deehveehdeeh]

what if i dont use obs since im on playstation 5 please answer me someone

[@leroycoblentz7642]

Thank you for the video, I'm getting ready to stream to KZbin for the first time. My upload speed is 24.63 mbps, what should my bitrate be set to?

[@Vagabond_on]

watch the video -_-

[@NGUNOW]

Thank you.

[@Twistedmindgaming]

My upload speed says 120 so what should my bitrate be?

[@sharvbitgaming]

Great video with No BS

[@Reticuli]

I wonder why they have Streaming bitrate and then Audio bitrate as separate. Video bitrate becomes this kinda hinky Total bitrate - Audio bitrate. In the Recording tab, it makes more sense.

[@GoldSrc_]

Streaming bitrate is the total bitrate, it includes the audio bitrate.

[@Reticuli]

@@GoldSrc_ It's a stupid way to code it for the interface. Should show the video rate and the audio rate and combine them in the background.

[@jimthekidd]

Can you do adding discord and it actually working in OBS I don't see any videos for that here and youre the only one with non bs tutorials

[@2busytv166]

lol where do you have the internet from? nasa? we got 10mbps upload in uk

[@grandpa91yearold25]

5:33 aint 1000 bits 1 kilobit?

[@RichD1471]

Sure is. 1Mbps is 1,000,000 bits!

I did my first ever live on youtube, and the quality is okay...

[@aranhawaii]

What do you think could be better?

[@LightningCo0kie]

@aranhawaii I believe the bit rate, but I was using this and another video to get more info, and now it went from low quality to good with excellent connections 🤟

[@aranhawaii]

@@LightningCo0kie Awesome glad you saw improvement!!!

[@JDGAF93]

How the hell do you have almost a 1000mbps in data speed I don’t have any provider who can even touch close to that wtf tops for me is like 100mbps for broadband suppliers how your getting that is speed is so annoying tbh.

[@jojoginn8740]

I work for spectrum cable make sure your paying for the correct internet package he could also be using fiber internet compared to coax. I’m getting 600mbs downloading and 20mbs upload

[@AnikiXoXo]

i have like 6.8 mbps upload speed & i stream at 4000kbps bitrate

[@wlightning07]

skipped audio bitrate

[@Shaye_21]

how are yall getting 900 mbps of download and upload speed 😭

[@JershMerx]

My guy just pulls out 700 upload from thin air, meanwhile my upload is a solid 16. Btw download is 550, so wth lol

[@reignedaze]

16? must be nice, 1.5 here. even in a 2mil+ pop city in a 1st world country. its horrid

[@cristofp]

my internet sucks :(

[@overcomecross9843]

My upload is 14😂 wtf

bro i have 5 download lol

poop

[@TayraGreen]

As someone with social anxiety, the amount of eye contact was too much for me and I had to keep looking away lmaooo

[@TayraGreen]

Also thank you, this fixed all my lagging issues!!

[@breezy4500]

my upload speed is 925.89 so what do i put

[@GoldSrc_]

6000 if you stream to Twitch, 16000-20000 if on youtube. Yes, youtube has a higher stream limit. You could probably do 40000 on youtube, but pretty much is not needed.

[@Paisley_Trees]

amazing thank you for this video and the information! Seeing your upload rate compared to my 3-4 mbps made me cry a little 🥲
