welcome to another live streaming
tutorial in this video i'm going to show
you how you can go ahead and start
streaming to twitch using obs studio
let's go ahead and dive in
[Music]
all right so the very first thing that
we want to go ahead and do is we want to
go ahead and determine what your
internet speed is this is so important
because it's going to determine the kind
of experience that your viewers are
going to have so i want you to go to
speedtest.net and i went ahead and put
the link in the description along with
any other link that i mentioned in this
video so once you're here what you want
to do is you simply want to select go
this is then going to go ahead and
determine your ping your download speed
and your upload speed so the number that
you want to focus on is going to be your
upload speed now i have a pretty high
internet but what you're looking for
here is a figure that's higher than five
typically around 10 or plus right to be
able to get a good experience if you
have less than five then you're probably
not gonna be able to offer your viewers
a great experience but you're still
gonna be able to stream so go ahead and
note down that number or keep a mental
memory of it because we're getting ready
to jump into the obs settings and we're
gonna need to have that figure in mind
all right so now that we establish your
internet speed the next thing we want to
do is go ahead and set up twitch inside
of obs studio so what you want to do is
in obs you want to come to where it says
settings and this is going to pop up a
new window for us the first thing that
we want to do and this is kind of like a
pro tip is that under general you want
to make sure that show confirmation
dollar when starting and stopping
streams is both checked this way you
never stop or start your stream
accidentally so once you're going to
have that set up you then want to come
to where it says stream you're going to
want to go ahead and where it says
service you want to select switch and
the next thing you want to do is you
want to go ahead and connect account
which is the recommended route and i'll
show you why so once you go ahead and
click that it's going to prompt you to
go ahead and get logged in so you want
to go ahead and input your information
to go ahead and get logged in
and then once you're logged in it's
going to go ahead and ask you to go
ahead and provide a code now what i like
to do is hit resend code check my phone
and then i'll see here in just a few
moments that i have the code for my
stream so what that's going to look like
is going to be here 903 661. i'll input
that in there and then it's going to go
ahead and authenticate my stream now
this is very important now this is going
to be a little hack that i'm going to
show you how regardless if you are a
twitch partner or switch affiliate you
can have a high quality stream by simply
checking this box here that says ignore
streaming service settings
recommendations so make sure you have
that checked because it's going to come
in handy later so you're going to go
ahead and hit apply and once you hit
apply you're going to see that you're
going to have a chat window pop up here
so this is going to allow you to be able
to go ahead and monitor your chat so
simply hit ok
and what you want to do is you want to
go ahead and move this over until it's
actually plugged in so you'll see it
there and now here on the left hand side
you're going to be able to edit your
stream title you're able to go ahead and
edit the notification and the
notification is what switch sends out to
people who are following your stream so
you're able to customize that you're
able to add your category as far as if
you're playing a game if you're on it
just chatting and the tags and i highly
recommend to utilize tags that are
relevant it's just going to help your
stream get found and then you stream
language and then you simply hit done
and that's set up and then on the right
hand side you're going to see here this
is where you're going to see the chat
this is the people that are going to be
commenting and doing all the things in
your stream so once you have that
established that's going to be the first
step so we want to do is you want to
come right back to settings and we're
going to want to come to where it says
output this is going to be where we
determine what kind of quality your
stream is going to have and what kind of
experience your viewers have as well so
under output mode you're going to want
to select advanced under encoder you're
going to want to select x264
under rate control you're going to
select cbr and now the bitrate remember
i tell you to make a mental note or to
write down that upload speed so this is
where you're gonna want to input that if
you have a speed that's five or higher
then you want to go and copy what i'm
going to show you in just a moment if
it's less try to put it at at least 2500
2300 to be able to give viewers a good
experience but here's the little hack if
you're not a twitch partner or twitch
affiliate and you want to be able to
have 1080p produced on your stream you
want to go ahead and have this at 7750
if it allows you to have that on based
on your upload speed now you may say
curry the max bit rate is 6 000 on
twitch but i'm telling you this is the
pro tip put it at 7 750 and you'll see
that you'll start to have 1080p quality
streams with no issue then you want to
go to keyframe intervals you want to put
that at two cpu usage you want to put it
at very fast profile high and then tune
at zero latency now these are the
settings that i use to be able to
produce a high quality stream and if you
see some lag or you have some issues
with your stream just come in here and
tweak the bit rate as you see fit if
it's lagging too much drop this down a
bit if you have the space keep it at
seven seven thousand seven hundred and
fifty so now you wanna do is you wanna
go ahead and hit apply so those settings
stay safe and then i want you to come
down to where it says audio and i want
you to make sure that under mic you
select the mic that you're going to be
utilizing then under video this is very
important this is going to be how the
stream is going to look to your viewers
so once you select videos you want to
have it at 1920x1080
the output scale i would have it exactly
the same and then as far as the
downscale filter i have it by linear
right because we're going to be at 1920
by 1080 so have it there it's going to
give you a nice smooth quality and then
the common fps value you want to have it
at 60 frames per second you're simply
going to hit apply you're going to click
ok and now that's going to go ahead and
give you the best settings to have the
best quality for your twitch stream now
if you want to know how to go ahead and
add your gameplay overlay how to go
ahead and add a countdown screen or how
to even go ahead and have a a stream
intro like this go ahead and watch this
video right here where i show you how to
go ahead and start adding sources and
scenes and overlays inside of obs i'll
see you in the next video
