Kick Bitrate Settings
Our guidelines are set up in a way to find the right balance between visual quality and playback quality, where both the broadcaster and the viewer can benefit from. Read the info below to help you choose the Encoding, Bitrate, Resolution, and Framerate settings that provide the right balance for the game you’re playing, your internet speed, and your computer’s hardware. Remember: it’s always better to have a stable stream than to push for a higher video quality that might cause you to drop frames or test the limits of your internet connection.
