Title: [!] URGENT PSA - FOR THOSE STREAMING
Post by: DYM on April 01, 2021, 04:43:21 pm

In OBS, there's an option that forces your stream to automatically lower the bitrate instead of dropping frames entirely whenever your Internet connectivity goes slow; the "Liam setting", if you will. This GREATLY improves the viewing experience, and is more important now that several Eliters are streaming their Brabham Cup matches. I've already suggested this to 2 streamers, who both benefited significantly from this relatively unknown feature.

The feature is called "Dynamic Bitrate", and it's available in OBS Studio 24 (released close to 2 years ago, so you should have it) and upwards. To enable Dynamic Bitrate, first ensure you are using OBS Studio 24 or higher by looking at your version number in the title bar of the program. Then, go to Settings > Advanced > Network and check the box next to the option that says "Dynamically change bitrate to manage congestion".

I hope you will make use of this healthy information for a HEALTHY viewing experience!

Could this potentially affect the proof quality of the recording though?

It doesnt affect local recordings.
