If you’re Partner you can go up to 60 if you feel like it.Blob videos are short, looped videos that can be humorous, informative, or simply entertaining. It’s tempting to set this to 60fps but I argue again: Are you really moving moving around the screen so much that the extra 30 fps is going to make a difference? The most you’re doing is making hands up pose so, not likely.

Set this to “Biliniar (Fastest, but blurry if scaling).” If you set the Base and Output the same, this option doesn’t even matter because you’re not scaling. Don’t make your computer do extra work when you don’t have to.ĭownscale Filter: Biliniar (Fastest, but blurry if scaling) If it’s different, then your video card or CPU will do extra work to scale it up or down. Set this to the same thing as your Base (Canvas) Resolution. Output (Scaled) Resolution: Same thing as Base (Canvas) Resolution So, set this to 720p when you start out so people with low bandwidth can watch your streams. Everyone else, like affiliate and non-affiliates, will get extra options only if there’s extra server capacity. Twitch will automatically give viewers multiple options (like 720p or 1080p) to DJs who have Partner status. It’s tempting to set this at 1080p (1920×1080) but you might lose viewers. If you’re a new streamer or Affiliate streamer, set this to 720p (1280×720). Twitch will always downgrade you to 160 so it’s pointless to go higher.īase (Canvas) Resolution: 1920×1080 for Partners, 1280×720 if you’re not Partner Software is your only choice unfortunately. Avoid using the CPU (Software) if you can. This sets whether or not you use a graphics card (Hardware) or the CPU (Software) to render the video. You probably won’t see much of a difference to be honest.Įncoder: Hardware (if you have it), Software (if that’s your only option) Start in the middle at 3000 and go up or down. The trade-off is, the higher you go the more bandwidth you will use. If you’re using a green screen and have lots of visuals go higher. But for a DJ, you can set it lower because you’re likely the only thing moving around. For a game, this is important to set high. Without getting into the details, the video bitrate affects how blurry things will get when lots of detailed things move around on the screen. Video Bitrate: Video Bitrate between 2000-4000 Kbps Here are my personal OBS setting recommendations for DJs and why.
