If you have lower upload speeds then select your bitrate according to it (5Mbps = 5000 bitrate, etc).Īll of the other settings you simply copy from the following screenshot.

If you have more than 6 Mbps then you can set your bitrate to 6000 and forget about it. There is also a trick where for FPS Type you select integer FPS Value so you can stream at 120 FPS making the stream extra smooth for people with high refresh rate monitors. The framerate should be set to 60 FPS unless you are on a super budget PC or a bad network, then you should probably be streaming at 720P 30 FPS. The Downscale Filter set to Bicubic is a middle ground where you get enough image clarity without sacrificing too much in-game FPS. This is mainly due to the bitrate cap that Twitch implements (6000kbps when a good 1080P stream would need 10000 kbps). The reason for this is that on 1080P fast gameplay looks worse since a lot of pixelation happens on stream. If you however are playing fast-paced games like Overwatch, Apex Legends, or CS:GO, then you should set the Output Resolution to 900P (1600×900). If you plan on playing slower-paced games then you can set your Output resolution to 1080P (1920×1080). The reason for this is that based on the resolution and the FPS you select for your stream, your actual streaming settings (in the Output tab) will change.Īs shown in the screenshot you should leave the Base Resolution at your default monitor resolution and set the Output Resolution based on how good your PC is and what kind of games you are streaming.
