![]() Wendy - an Intel i5-3230M means 3rd generation Core CPU, and 11th generation CPUs should be announced/released in next few weeks. Have you monitored your laptop's performance (Task Mgr) and made sure CPU, GPU, and RAM, and disk I/O not running close to 100%? Do you have background software running that may interfere (resource contention, usually CPU)? Whether your computer can handle it is another question. Have you don't a speedtest and seen what actual bandwidth you have available? is there anything else using that bandwidth while streaming (phones, tablets, smart TVs, etc)?Īs to your question, I'm an OBS newbie, so hopefully others more knowledgeable than I will chime in. My point - lots of stuff can impact your results, some of it outside your view, and a lot of it having nothing to do with OBS itself. And some cable providers do a better job than others, and even within that, there can be variances at the neighborhood level (node saturation, etc). ![]() Personally I prefer cable over DSL, but each has its strengths / weaknesses, and with so many people working/school from home, local Internet providers (ISP) are under strain. So, you may have not been using all of your DSL upload bandwidth, in which case switching to cable didn't do anything. ![]() Lots of things can interfere with a clean live stream, including things like Public Peering Internet routers which you'll have no insight into. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I'd be very grateful for any help or advice that anyone can give, because I'm obviously missing something, and as a newcomer have a lot to learn. that I think I should not be having given that we have the dog's doo-dahs of cable broadband now! If it is just to stream a single camera output (that I gather the kit behaves as a single webcam) then surely I'm going to have the same problems with buffering, upload speeds to YouTube etc. If OBS can handle the multi camera angles why do I need a piece of kit, and conversely, if this piece of kit handles the camera angles, why do I need OBS? Then I read that people were using this kit with OBS and now I am confused. ![]() I didn't want to have to buy another piece of kit when I thought OBS would do it, but a colleague of mine said that OBS was 'notorious for dropping frames' and that I should invest in something hardware instead. So I am now investigating the Blackmagic atem mini. On YouTube I was still getting the message that I wasn't sending enough video to YouTube so my viewers would have buffers, although my Android tablet connected to wifi seemed not to judder at all, so I don't understand why, but there you are! I've read as many tutorials and the excellent advice on this website as I can, up to press. Today I attempted a test live stream and I don't think the quality was any better, which is disappointing as I was expecting the cable to be much better. I've read the advice about resolution, frame rate, upload speed etc. Since then we have upgraded to the fastest cable which is capable of downloading 120 mbps and uploading 20mbps. The connection we had for this was a fast DSL and, yes, I was connected via ethernet not wifi. It went well, although some viewers said the video did judder occasionally, it was watchable, and the sound quality was flawless, as we used a SubZero audio interface. I'm a relative newbie and I have so far produced one live streamed concert featuring my husband playing solo guitar, for which I had 2 cameras connected via HDMI video capture USB dongles, one connected via USB as a webcam, and I also used the webcam on my laptop.
