You want to stream at a bitrate that is at MOST 80% of your upload speed. For example: If you run speedtest and have an upload of 2mb/s you do (2000 * .80 = 1600 would be the highest bitrate you would stream at)
Dear jim sauce can u help me please when i click preview stream it saids could not initialize directx10 wath do i need to do? Its saids your gpu is not suported directx10, youre running windows vista without the platform update where i find that??, you video card drivers are out od date where i find that to?
heres a little tip if your trying to stream visual boy advance go to the options tab and under the video tab theres a tab that says render method go over it and look for direct3d then open a program such as fraps to see how much fps you have then set it to that amount and BAM it runs really smooth!

hey, I'm just wondering do you know how to stream live to just an external monitor through obs? instead of streaming to twitch / youtube etc... or have any idea on how to stream live to an external screen via HDMI or any other way??
this helped me a bit but i still got one small problem which i can't seem to fix. now when i right click on game capture and go to settings the option to "show mouse cursor" is ticked but when i stream or i just open the stream preview the mouse cursor isn't visable. any ideas how can i make the mouse cursor visable completely on stream?
nice video. Two questions I have though. 1st off I am having trouble trying to do game capture. All I keep getting is a black screen with it. Everything else i.e. webcam and monitor are working ok with the preview being perfect, just the game capture is black screen. I am trying to stream games that are on steam such as FF7 if this helps. Last question is I have seen some players streaming have text boxes where those viewing on twitch can send messages that the player sees. How do I get that to work? Sorry for the trouble I am a streaming newbie
hey good video but for some reason it won't show my face cam on even thought my webcam is on i have Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920. when i test my stream i dont see my face cam on?
Just play the music. It will play through your desktop sounds which is your default device. As long as you don't have it playing through speakers, you're fine.
Please help because whenever I try to add a source it doesn't show up in the list of my sources but when i press global sources it;s there! I don't know what to do :(
look, I wan't to stream terraria. but it the screen doesen't come up when i've chosen it in the gamecapture setting. I can choose it as a program but it doesen't wan't to come up. I really need some help with this problem!

I have one question. I am trying to setup to stream counter strike global offensive, a quite popular game that I admire. I got to the game capture part at the beginning of the video and when I clicked on what application to select, it only showed my monitor capture screen, no real applications like games. So if you know how to fix this, please tell me!
whats ur CPU usage at because mines like over 50% without playing a game and i have a phenom x4 ii 965 3.4ghz does it matter if my cpu is that something to worry about?

speed test said my upload was 101.2 kb/s i had it on 500 when i first streamed and it was set to my pc. it was a fluid stream but poor quality. i kicked it up to 1000 like other guides tell me to do and it made me quality great but it was severely lagging. what would happen if i put the bit rate to 101?
Do you know what bitrate etc. I should have my settings on for a 1.1 mbps upload speed? Pitiful upload speed, I know, but I am far from a computer wiz, so I need some advice on that :/
you shouldn't stream on 1.1 mbps up man :/ I've heard from most succesful streamers you should stream with 5 mbps or more, since you can only use about 1/2 of the mbps number, so with 5 mbps it would be 2.5 mbps as your bitrate. In your case though 0.550 mbps is awful for the streaming quality and for your gaming experience :/
it say's Could not initialice DirectX10 on intel(R) HD Graphics. This error can happen for oneof the following reasons: 1.)You're GPU is not supported (DirectX10 is required - note that many integrated laptop GPUs do notsupported DX10 2.) you're running windows Vista without the platform Update" 3.)Your video card drivers are out of date if you are using a laptop with NViDiA Optimus or AMD Switchable Graphics, mke sure OBS is set to run on the high performance GPU in your driver settings. plz help me #JimSauce

hey jim uknow when you stream you have it where it says what music you are listening how would i be able to add that on the screen? using itunes
You would place it somewhere on your monitor screen where nothing will cover it. Then you add a source > window capture > itunes > add. Then size it

I've already given up streaming until I can get better mbps. At least the PS4 streaming app still works for me.xStosh
I only get 300kbps and I can livestream perfectly.
