With that said, as a new streamer you will never want to put this number higher than 3,500 Kbps. This is one of the reasons that the best OBS Studio settings are different for some people. This number will also help us determine what resolution to stream at as well. The Twitch servers will then send this data to your viewers. VideВ BitrateВ will tell OBS Studio the rate at which it will send your video data to the Twitch servers. Let me take a moment and explain what this setting does. This is an extremely important option to set, and can be sometimes be confusing to some. The first setting we want to change is the Video Bitrate.

WeвЂ™re only going to cover the basics here, but OBS does include a good amount of advanced settings for those that are interested. The output settings are also very important. Hit apply and letвЂ™s check out the next tab. But if you donвЂ™t have yours copied anymore, go back to your Twitch DashboardВ to get your key and enter it here. IвЂ™m also going to paste my stream key into OBS since I still have it copied to my clipboard. However,В the tool will give you the best results.

If youвЂ™re not using the test tool, then itвЂ™s typically best to choose the server closest to you. Based on my results, IвЂ™m going to tab back to OBS and choose the Dallas, TX server. Make sure to leave this tool open after the tests are complete. The test caps the speed at 10,000 Kbps вЂ“ which is fine since we donвЂ™t have to worry about speeds any higher. The RTT time represents the latency to the server, but isnвЂ™t the most important factor. We want to choose the server with the highest bandwidth with a quality above 80. But, once the test is done youвЂ™ll see some numbers for each server. Now, just hit start and go grab a snack or maybe even take a nap. Finally, select the region youвЂ™d like to test вЂ“ IвЂ™m going to only check the United States. If you have the time itвЂ™s better to let it run longer to give you more accurate results. You can leave it on its default setting, which does about 10 seconds of testing per server. Next, the test duration option will allow us to choose a time to test for. I actually leave mine on my desktop, but you can put it wherever youвЂ™d like. Once the tool is downloaded, youвЂ™ll need to extract it with a program like WinRar. If youвЂ™re uncomfortable downloading any tools, IвЂ™ll describe another way to determine bitrate later in this post. We will use this to determine our best server, as well as what bitrate to use in a little bit. The best option is not always the closest server to you, which is why I use this program. The Twitch Bandwidth Test Tool is extremely useful.

But, I recommend downloading a tool that we can use to get the best results. If youвЂ™d like, you can select the server that is closest to you. One of the more important options in the settings is selecting the proper Twitch server. These include YouTube Gaming, Hitbox, Beam.IO and more. However, you can see a list of other platforms we can stream to with OBS studio. First, we will notice the services selection is defaulted to Twitch. The stream tab is where weвЂ™ll need to make a few important decisions.
