These seven things helped me be able to set up my stream and start running it well, so now I want to share them with you.
The Sunny Machine’s post on OBS Studio Optimization: https://members.twitchiq.com/obs-studio-optimization/
If you just want the cliffsnotes version, here it is:
-
Scale everything to 720p
-
Use Game Capture
-
Use Stream Elements
-
Use Static Assets
-
Use Good Lighting
-
Use Hardware Encoding
-
Lower Your Camera Resolution
One thing to note, if you do switch to hardware encoding, restart your computer for it to take effect.
I hope this helps!
Happy Streaming,
