Monitoring your Live Stream

While you are live streaming, you will want to keep an eye on some things:

• Audio Levels
  • Keep your audio as loud as possible, without clipping
  • Don’t be afraid to use the built-in compression on the desk
  • Use your ears to verify you’re not clipping (on the stream) and not over-compressing
• Dropped Frames
  • Dropped Frames (bottom toolbar in OBS) will show you if your CPU and/or Internet Connection aren’t keeping up
  • If you drop too many frames, the stream will disconnect
  • It is a good idea to test the connection ahead of time, paying particular attention to the dropped frames
• Bitrate
  • Your bitrate should always remain in the ballpark of your specified bitrate (1024Kbps or 4096Kbps)
  • If your bitrate drops, you may have issues with your CPU and/or network
• CPU
  • Ideally, your CPU should remain under 50%
  • If your CPU runs consistently high, you may experience over-heating or dropped frames

If you run into performance issues during your event, first try lowering the bitrate.
