The greater your upload speed the higher you can set your bitrate, and the higher quality you can stream.

When setting up your stream you need to set a bitrate, this is the amount of bits you transmit per second in kbps.

Anything above 80 is good enough for streaming. The quality takes into consideration bandwidth throttling, congestion, and packet loss to give you a number on a scale of 1-100 for your stream on the server. The RTT is the time it takes to get a response from the server.

This app not only tests your upload speed to each of Twitch’s servers, but also tests your RTT to the servers and the potential quality of your stream. Once you have completed your test, click on the “Result Details” tab and the top line of the results is what you are interested in.īetter than simply just testing your speed, if you are interested in streaming on Twitch I recommend the Twitch Bandwidth Test app. I find it more reliable and accurate than the other sites. There are no shortage of tools and websites out there that will help you find this out, however the one I recommend is /upload. Anything less and your stream will pixelate. The minimum upload speed is 3Mbps (3000kbps), which will allow you to stream comfortably at 720p at 30fps. This speed allows you to stream at almost any quality you wish to, whether that be 720p at 30 fps or 1080p at 60fps. Bits are packets of information, in the case of streaming its the stream itself. So, the recommended upload speed is 5Mbps (5000kbps). Your upload speed is the rate at which you can transmit bits over the internet. The first thing you need to understand is that streaming means you are uploading your captured video to the internet, so your upload speed, not your download speed, is the important number to look at. But, once you understand the requirements to stream, particularly your upload speed, and how it relates to the bitrate of your stream, it really isn’t that complicated. Understanding your internet speed and how it relates to your stream can be a little bit confusing at first. “How fast does my internet need to be to stream?” is one of the most frequently asked questions by those interested in starting to stream.
