If you are playing a game that doesn’t have much action, you could choose to go for 30fps and 720P resolution. For this, Twitch recommends the following settings. If you are playing a shooter game or any game with high paced action, 60FPS is highly recommended. Unless you are guaranteed to get quality options on your stream, you should opt for lower settings instead.Ī good starting point would be to stream at 720P at 60FPS. For most viewers, a bitrate for 6000kbps will be too high. If you stream at a certain bitrate, your viewers need to have the download speed to be able to match your upload. This means that when you stream on Twitch, your viewers may be forced to view your stream in the quality that you upload to Twitch’s servers. Twitch will always reserve its bandwidth for its partners, so unless you stream during non-peak hours, your viewers won’t get access to quality options. However, in many cases it’s better to go lower.

Twitch limits all uploads to 6000kbps, which means you cannot go any higher than that.
