How To Live Stream With Bad Internet - Best settings for Streamlabs Obs / Obs Studio

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

My dude, this saved me! I often stream from really janky hotels with bad wifi and this works great. Nicely done!

[@sparky_862]

Did you do your setup like this dude? Can you supply me a screnshot or perhaps your twitch link so I can see what it looks like?

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

@@sparky_862 The live stream I posted last night on my KZbin channel used this method. I was running a webcam and mirrorless camera to the stream.

[@Ashikai]

Dude, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have ~1MBPS upload speed and while I was doing OK streaming normal games at the settings I had, I couldn't stream any online/mobile games without my ping dropping to 999ms+ which basically rendered them unplayable. You literally got my ping down to 40ms-200ms on these settings which is MORE than workable, so thank you so much!!

[@Aether100]

Hi Ashikai!

[@rlrihards948]

Finally someone with same internet speed! I hear only people with 7ms and download and upload speed above 30 and saying their internet is bad. And this video really helped me, thanks!

[@inacatt]

This is absolutely amazing, thank you! I've been really wanting to stream my art and now I feel like I have the tools to do so, especially with your amazing free overlays. You are truly a gift, thank you soooo much!

Just moved into a dorm with bad wifi after my stream started to gain some traction. This video is a lifesaver!

[@kiverson794]

Thanks for this video! I’m relying on my mobile hotspot to stream (too rural for internet service) and was worried that my dreams were crushed. This is a great explanation for someone who is knew to this world of content creation like me.

[@crustmuskandpixiedust]

I live that rural life too. I don't have a lot of internet options here.

[@Mistrye]

[@KeaganLegit]

Ever since covid started, everybody has been home and I went from a 6k 720p 60fps stream to now 1mbps upload. Thank you for this video!

[@kostasflaris9797]

With 1mbps you stream with 720p? Is it possible ? Do you think that i should try it ?

[@JamieNemeth]

Cheers for this, I'm going to try some of these settings! It's great to find someone who says "bad internet" and actually means less than 1Mbps upload...unlike one advice video I found, where they were complaining about 10Mbps upload speed being "slow" and "bad"...grr... I am looking into fibre options, but for the foreseeable future I'll be on ADSL. And it's good ADSL, for ADSL: I'm not far from the cabinet or the exchange, and I can get over 1Mbps upload on a good day (though it's 0.7-0.8Mbps, typically). But when there's too much movement in my game output, 720p really shows up my low bandwidth on stream. I just did a test at 480p, and there's a huge improvement in visual quality overall. Also, most of the time I'm watching Twitch myself, it's in a half-screen window anyway...if my viewers are doing that, too, then 480p is perfectly watchable.

[@fnknwr7]

Yeah and I thought my 10mbps up and down was slow.

[@aNoobAllDay]

@@fnknwr7 Yeah im pushing .87 upload, even 4 would be a blessing to me lol

MBPS download: 135.29 MBPS upload: 24.04 And my stream lags and drops 30% of it's frames on the default settings for OBS (Streamlabs). I'm just gonna give this a whirl, and see if it helps, but I guess I just have to test it. :) On my stream, it looks like it's about 10 frames a minute.. UPDATE: It worked! I may change the resolution to higher since I have decent internet, but thank you SO MUCH I can finally stream on Twitch! Earned yourself a sub and like :p

Lowering your audio bitrate from the default 160 to 64 will give you more headroom that will let you up your video bitrate.

Bruh.. this guy is right. Having bad internet speed is NOT an excuse. I stream mobile games and pairs my laptop using hotspot from the same phone, my internet speed is not that great and even went woozy mid-stream. Keep it up guys. Do your best everyone, and give your viewers the best content you can on every stream!

[@SK-qu4wo]

Doesn't that use up an insane amount of data on your mobile plan though? Or is that an unlimited plan?

[@aschaurora]

@@SK-qu4wo It was unlimited plan, but I still need to pay for hotspots. What I did was I bought a modded modem that blast your internet as wifi and somehow it made the simcard thinks its not using hotspot but using mobile data instead. Either way, don't stream any higher than 480p30fps and you should be okay.

Thank you for making this! We just got a house and it would be too cramped for both of us to have our computers in the living room, so I put mine in the basement and hooked up to the wifi. Gameplay was fine, but streaming it on current settings, nope. It was horrible. Then I adjust based on this video and it works fine. Also World of Warcraft was the game I tested it on since there's a lot to it. So yeah, if you're stuck using the wifi, this helps immensely! Thank you!

[@ShikariHybryd]

I feel like Streamlabs' customer service could be better. This is an email I received when asking why I'm experiencing problems: "Hi there! If you only have 2.25 mbps upload speed then this will not be enough for you to go live with a clear stream, let alone have a full screen capture of your Elgato capture card, as the OBS Link & NDI Source are powered through your network so with having low internet speeds, the quality & latency will not look the best on your Streamlabs OBS. You will have to upgrade to a faster internet package in order to obtain a good quality picture for your capture card, as well as be able to stream at a good resolution & quality also. Thanks" Now I get what they are saying, but they did not explain how I could optimise my settings to stream with the current upload speed. I'm happy to sacrifice a bit of visual quality if I can at least experience 0 render lag. This tutorial video was much more insightful.
