In Need Of Help With Live Streaming

[MattR0715 1]

Hi, I've been having issues trying to live stream. I can only stream at 360p without any issues. Anything else will cause buffering or be very choppy and distorted. I don't think its my PC because I meet the requirements.

PC Specs:
OS - Windows 10 Pro
CPU - Intel i5 2500
Video Card - ATI FireGL V3600
RAM - 4GB

Internet Speeds:

Any thoughts?

With those fantastic speeds, there can only be one reason you are having troubles, and that most definitely is user error.

And that's what I'm trying to figure out by making this thread...

To start with, I haven't streamed anything...

 

First check the pinned topics we have here making sure you are doing it right.

 

Let us know if that helps. If you already did, go back and do it again

 

Also in recording mode, what are the resolution and bitrates you see under Tools - Options

i've looked at the pinned posts and I seen nothing that addressed my issue, the closest thing I found was for an out of date version of the software, So it was no help to me.

Resolution/Bit Rate
240p - 512 kbps
360p - 768 kbps
480p - 1161 kbps
720p - 1500 kbps

I also choose to stream on Youtube, but when I do stream on Twitch, I get the same issues, regardless of the server I choose.

Some users use OBS... you may want to try that. INFO

Wow, OBS really made a difference, streams a lot better now visually. Thank you!

If you're trying to livestream with OBS, consider using OBS Multiplatform which actually supports the Roxio as a capture device.
