OBS> Resolution setting and bitrate
The two most important data that determine streaming quality are resolution and transmission bitrate.
To change the resolution go to the « Video » section.
To change the bitrate, go to the « Output » section. Remember to enter the bitrate value in both the « simple output mode » section and the « advanced output mode » section.
To adapt the video preview to the screen, right-click on the preview, select « Transform » and then « Fit to screen ».
We recommend that you check your available upload bandwidth, and set resolution and bitrate accordingly.
OBS> Transmission and Registration
Now you are ready to stream! Click on the « start broadcast » button to start your live stream. You can also record your event on your PC by clicking the « Start recording » button.
N.B. We recommend that you register your event locally in order to have a quality that is not affected by any internet bitrate fluctuation.
