OBS STUDIO : HOW TO SET UP THE BEST RESOLUTION FOR STREAMING (936P VS 1080P)

[@LaJoker]

Even 4500 is still too low for 936p. If you follow the Bits per pixel rule for 936p with a .1 bpp which is what you need, you'll need a bitrate of atleast 9400. That's why most streamers arent streaming 60fps anymore too. Because when you decrease stream framerate, you have more bitrate allocated to less pixels (48fps). And 48fps looks just as smooth as 60fps. 936p at 48fps you need a bitrate of atleast 7700 bitrate. Hope this helps!

[@oldmangamerlive]

Huh? Am i missing something? In youre video you said 936 with 60 FPS. This comment you changed that? you said 4500 is even still too low and many dont stream at 60 FPS. Doesnt youre video say 4500 at 60 fps?

[@MrRaja]

@@oldmangamerlive It'll get the job done. All i remember from way back is 1080 @ 60fps needs at least 6000 bitrate. and we are in 2022 most people have 100mbps internet. so it wont be any problem even for mobile internet.

[@boricuajr84]

@@MrRaja 100 MBPS is download speed. When streaming, it is upload speed that's needed which on average is 10-20 MBPS depending on your ISP...

[@esaedvik]

Haven't seen a 30 fps streamer in a very long time. For slower games, 60 fps really makes no sense, especially if you don't have the hardware and internet headroom for it.

[@esaedvik]

@@MrRaja Most people definitely don't have 100Mbps internet.

[@chase276]

EXTREMELY HELPFUL. Had zero idea twitch had a stream tester and I used to test stream on my alt account but thats so much easier.

[@Lobapixel]

Glad it helped!

[@alcamyzt]

I'm so glad this video is still here. For some odd reason, I changed my OBS settings to encode and display 1920x1080 and I hella regretted it as I lost so much quality in my live streams and VODs. Thank you for reminding me of what to change back in my settings that I've had for years.

[@kasiessa]

That was so bloody helpful. I've been looking for tens and tenss of video and none of them showed any help except you. So thank you and God bless you man. I hope your twitch is shooting rocket hight🙏❤️

[@Lobapixel]

I'm so happy to hear that it went well! I checked out your stream and it's looking super clean! Nice set up 👍

[@kasiessa]

@@Lobapixel thank you so much !!🥺🙏 truly appreciate it!!!

[@so1okeii]

Thanks you just saved me from some pixelation issues from gpu and cpu strength not being high enough

[@Lobapixel]

Glad it worked out for you! 👏

[@Poberaganser]

Why checking "Rescale output" box, if we already rescaling in the next section in "Output (Scaled) resolution"?

[@celestialsamurai2042]

Exactly.. That will only take up more resources..

[@GenesRapture]

Thanks for clean explanation about resolutions and for Twitch tools to test the system first. I think I'm done making a fool of myself for now, lol.

[@Lobapixel]

Glad I could help!

[@MrRaja]

Thanks a lot sir. This did help me understand why what resolution and update my old 2015 settings to the newest.

[@Lobapixel]

No problem! Glad it worked out for you!

[@victoriaschmidt5065]

nice video Loba, i watched someone else before, he was confusing me. now i got it right! thx!

[@Lobapixel]

Glad I could help! 👍

[@Benpointdxtr]

your video is really helping thanks, it is also pronounced as en vidia my man just a little correction, keep it up youre doing great

[@CvdHeuvel1]

Very helpfull and clear on what to do. Thank you very much and keep u the good work. Liked and Subscribed :)

[@Lobapixel]

Thanks for the sub!❤

[@bigjimstream]

Lob, you have an insane internet connect of 40MB upload speed. I don't understand why you would even consider throttling to 4500 bit rate.

[@Lobapixel]

Insane as in good? 40mb sometimes feels like it’s not enough 🤣. I stay around 4K bitrate just so I don’t use up most of the bandwidth while others are using the internet too 🤔

[@bigjimstream]

@@Lobapixel Yes sir. Download is almost a gig. That's probably 98 percentile. 40 up is very good as well. Maybe you have some other issues with your internet connection besides average speed. Thanks for the vid and discussion.

[@esaedvik]

You can literally test how much which bitrate is pushing out of your PC onto the internet, just open up your Task Manager or some similar network tool (Glasswire. etc).
There's zero need for 20-40 Mbps internet if you use 6500 kbps bitrate for Twitch. Yes, headroom is nice, but that much, no. 6500 kbps (6.5 Mbps) is literally the "width" of the bitstream going out.
And no, X264 is not going to "wear down" your CPU. If you have a beefy CPU, but a weaker GPU, you're better off using CPU encoding. The quality is slightly better too, that's why some streamers prefer it and get CPUs like a 5950x (which is def overkill, but if streaming pays for it and you can deduct it in taxes, so what).

[@Lobapixel]

Love this breakdown! Thank you very much for it ❤

[@NechuEXE]

you're a legend thank you!

thank you

[@armazelfun]

i wanna know what this settings look like today after obs is updated. if possible please

[@grafizy]

I don't have an option to change my output (scaled) resolution to 1664x936. the only options it gives me is 1920x1080 , 1280x720 , 852x480 , 640x360. could someone help ?

[@MealsWithEPeeZee]

I'm just unclear about what I'm looking for and how I should fix it everybody has videos of what you should set your settings for but they are not telling you exactly what you're looking for and how the test is supposed to help you

[@NextGeneration_]

U could def do 6000bitrate 1664x936p60

[@Noob1234s]

Somebody help pls. The create broadcast option doesnt appear as the screen is to big. It literally goes under the task bar

[@harryj3384]

I'm new to obs, this video help me so much! the only setting i still didn't finish is resolution I have 1366x768 Monitor should i use 1280x720 as output? Or make it same as the base?

[@screenboss]

Thanks so much man, instant improvement to quality. I hope this gets people to stick around. Please follow :')

[@Lobapixel]

So glad it helped you out! I appreciate the support ❤

[@akuro_o]

I cant paste 1664×936 into Scaled Resolution

[@carlosviktorx]

Thankjs

[@lTheRealKJl]

so the Base(Canvas) resolution is Only for ME to look at on OBS so I can set my base resolution to 2k but stream at 936 correct?

[@felicityporter]

Do you have any idea why my quality when streaming is 936, but my vods are 720?

[@therookanga]

In my experience: Sometimes the encoding isn't caught up to what you are producing, or sometimes it requires you to have more viewers concurrently. I noticed in the past that when a lot of people were checking in, my streams would be in 936p, but when I took a break or people were absent, the quality would drop to 720p. Twitch, as far as I've seen, does prioritize streams that have people conistently involved/watching, but if that's not the case for you then I do not know.

[@SL1CKSHOT.]

Clearly you don't know about bitrate saying 6000 is pushing it with 40 upload 🤦

[@krucell]

There is no rescale output on streamlabs obs under output, is there any way to do it on streamlabs obs?

[@ogeezznailz]

my settings tab for OBS doesnt show a stream key, just says "disconnect account"

[@Drax18Music]

if you use streamlabs obs, and you login with your twitch account, it will detect it automatically if I remember

[@deletionist]

Don't have an option for 1664x936. Do I have to add it somewhere?

[@Lobapixel]

You have to add it manually in the box itself 👍✨

[@NotCrackedTV]

@lobapixel I’ll be building my first dedicated streaming pc streaming on twitch with a c922 pro camera and capturing ps5 gameplay on hd60s* capture card. My resolution i play at on my gaming monitor and ps5 is 1440p 60/120fps, my question is should i use downscale feature on obs to 1080p 60fps or 720p 60 fps to get a crisp stream to my followers and at which bit rate? I will be plugged straight in using ethernet cord on both console and pc. I use fiber optics internet and on tester from both phone and console my download and upload are always 170-200mbps, on a bad day test so to speak, i have never saw below a 140mbps download 30mbps upload on console test reading and always 170 up and down on cell phone tester. Any insight to what resolution i should downscale to and what bit rate i should use would be appreciated. My build is ryzen 5 5600x cpu , gigabyte b550 aorus pro v2 motherboard, and rtx 3050gpu , 32gb 3200mhz ram/memory and 1tb samsung 980 pro PCIe 4.0x4 ssd storage. Look forward to your response and knowledge. Great video. With respect, Mike

[@Lobapixel]

The fact that you have Fiber optics internet should honestly give you no problems at all! I'm quite jealous of your internet set up lol! Glad that it's solid for you! If I were you I would first try out a test stream at the highest settings possible don't downscale until it's tested first. Test first then accommodate for settings depending on how well your internet set up can manage that much bandwidth. Start at 1080p 60fps because I don't think twitch will let you stream 1440p 60/120fps, and start at maybe 6000 bitrate then work your way down and really analyze twitch inspector to see how well your bitrate is doing and bandwidth too. You have possibly one of the best set ups for so far, so the process will be extremely smooth for you I believe!

[@mahsih_]

i have a 2070 super, my encoder is nvidia (new) and my cpu is a 9400f i5.. I play apex and story games most of the times..
My bitrate is around 5250 to 5400.. so i stick to 5250 for consistency.. Now is it worth changing from 720p to 936p? even tho we are on a lower bitrate ? Because A couple streamer friends of mine have told me that better to stick to 720p if ur bitrate is below 6k.. and 936p if you're partnered so u can have that extra above 6k bitrate.
Also thank you lol sorry that its kinda complicated. SUBBED BTW

[@SL1CKSHOT.]

Use 1600x900 don't copy this guys settings they are terrible and he don't know what he's talking about

[@boricuajr84]

what if I'm gaming at 1440p, but I would like my stream to be viewed as 936p. How do you set that up on OBS? my Overlays is 1920x1080, but my gaming for me is 1440p,240hz

[@SandPipeHer]

Did you figure this out? I’m having the same issues

[@ezacly1231]

You guys can actual just “squeeze” the source (being the game or screen capture) into the scene. Just drag the top left corner of game capture in, then drag the whole thing to the top left corner of scene and then grab bottom right corner of game capture and it’ll snap to the bottom left corner of scene. It doesn’t mess up quality either. That’s what I do.

[@boricuajr84]

really hard to hear you on your video even at max volume...

[@joelscb]

has a shure sm7b still has shit audio lol

[@Lobapixel]

Went to your channel to see if I can find any tips on better audio, but unfortunately you didn’t have any videos with any audio? What’s shit about my audio? What exactly can I do to improve it? I would love to hear from an expert such as yourself! 🤣

[@joelscb]

@@Lobapixel u mad bro? why don't you read the other comments on here about your audio? i had to turn my speakers to very loud because of your shit audio. i initially came to your channel to find information about streaming but it looks like the audio isnt the only thing shitty about you. lol. i really like the ad hominem attack when shit people like yourself take every criticism so personally. maybe get off the internet if a comment triggers you?

[@Baka-Aqua]

@@Lobapixel go to the channel called Lupit, he has 495 subscribers but he is really good with audio, the best thing in general though is to get a DAW such as ableton live, and process your mic, and if you dont want to use that and just do it in obs you still have to have a proper signal chain
