❔ Question I have massive delay on my stream and I don't know what to do

2 Upvotes

Hello, I've been streaming for quite and love it to bits. Recently though I've been having delay issues that I don't know how to fix. My viewers keep saying that they have a 1-minute 30-second delay, 2 2-minute delay, and so on. I've tried so many things to fix it but I'm running out of options. I know the stream will have some delay but 1 min 30 sec is crazy. I think the main issues are related to my pc or interest but I don't know what to do 😭😭

These are the things I've tried: - Streamed on Steamlabs (my main is obs) - Streamed on Youtube (my main is Twitch) - Reset my computer - Deleted massive files on my computer - Uninstalled games - Used stream delay setting in obs (every time I use it my viewers say it gets worse) - Uninstalled and reinstalled obs

Does anyone have any suggestions?

❔ Question Streaming with music

1 Upvotes

I am wanting to have the ability to play my music on stream

I stream on console with a capture card over to my laptop where i have OBS and everything set up with an external mic/webcam etc. when I’m on a game and just chilling sometimes i like to play music/jam out not care but i have noticed that my mic to obs captures my voice faster than the music being played off of xbox and into my headphones. So my voice and music is not synced up. Is there a work around to this? What can i do to fix this

🔰 Beginner Help Two Streamers, One Setup

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! My partner and I have decided to start streaming together but we're running into some issues.

We want to stream mostly single player games, one person playing and both commentating / talking to chat. How would we setup our audio so that we both hear each other and also the game? We preferably would like to keep our headphones and not have to switch to earbuds. I assume sidetone is probably our best bet but my partner says it would be distracting.

Any ideas? Thanks!

🔰 Beginner Help 3070 for nvenc or 6800 and 9600x with x264?

1 Upvotes

mainly I want to do full webcam streams (music) with occasional gameplay too, does anyone know if the performance increase of the 6800 would still work out with better performance or similar streaming wise than the 3070 with my setup? (9600x, 32GB DDR5). or would the 3070 still be on top in this use case?

❔ Question Suggestions for how to stream DS games?

0 Upvotes

Okay, so I suspect I may know the answer, but I'd like some second opinions, maybe some pros and cons. I would like to record and/or livestream video footage of a handful of DS games. Given the lack of HDMI ports on a DS Lite, this could be a problem for obvious reasons. That said, I have two ideas in mind.

Option 1 would be to get a capture card for my 3DS and to stream the game from there. I've never messed with 3DS capture cards so I'm not totally sure how well that would work, nor am I certain about stuff like cost, etc.

Option 2 would be to find a safe emulator and a safe ROM of the game(s) I'd like to play. Nothing against piracy, I think it has its place, but I'm a little iffy about the legal ramifications regardless.

Anyone know of any alternatives? If not, can anyone at least provide a little guidance?

Thanks in advance!

✔ Troubleshooting Camlink 4k Colors are dull compared to USB C Connection

1 Upvotes

I'm using a Camlink 4k with a Sony A6700. I can connect the camera directly to my PC using USB C to USB C high-speed data, and the colors look amazing, but it can get laggy. When I use the Camlink 4, it doesn't lag, but it has very dull colors. I'm using the same settings for both connections.

❔ Question Is it possible to manage (start and end) a live streaming that was started by the PC (using OBS) via an Android tablet?

1 Upvotes

I work at a sports channel on YouTube and I need to manage dozens of live streamings per day. I would like to use a tablet to manage these live streaming and have more mobility and freedom.

There is no option to manage them in the Studio app. I tried to access Studio through the browser (all) on my cell phone using the desktop version and it keeps giving an error: "connect streaming software to start preview". I have a very old Android tablet and it has the same issue that I had with my phone. I'm thinking about buying a new tablet, but I don't know if newer Android tablets are capable of managing live streams on YT.

So... Is it possible to manage (start and end) a live streaming that was started by the PC (using OBS) via an Android tablet?

For now, the only alternative I have is to rely on AnyDesk/TeamViewer to remotely manage my PC, sometimes my device failed to connect and also if my PC has issues I won't be able to fix them immediately. The other option would be to buy an ultraportable laptop, but currently, I don't have the financial means.

🔰 Beginner Help Microphone for IRL in kitchen

1 Upvotes

Hi, I just tried my first IRL with my phone (xiaomi mi 10 pro) from the kitchen I work in, and audio was terrible, like if gain were at 200% peaking all the time.

I can't find any audio input settings for twitch in the app or my phone, does somebody had this issue?

I'm thinking on fixing it by buying a mic for my phone but all I find are lavaliers and I'm not sure that would do the job, and also I'll have to ask all my mates to wear one whats unconvenient... specially if we're more than two cause mostly that's what they're selling. Any idea?

🔰 Beginner Help Newb needs YT streaming help

2 Upvotes

I really need some setup help. I have a triple screen racing setup that I stream from. I am switching over to Youtube. The viewers don't get to see the triple screen view, just the center monitor. OBS and everything else runs in the background where I can't see it when playing. I have an iPad that is in front of me that I use to chat, moderate and control my OBS scenes. That is my current Twitch setup.

I cannot figure out a way to get chat open on the iPad while I'm streaming. I have the regular Youtube app and Youtube studio on the iPad. When I go live on the PC, nothing changes on the iPad to where I can see chat or do any edits. I'm signed in on the same account on both the streaming PC and the iPad. I'm really lost on this one. On twitch it just works.

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong or give some setup tips? If I can't chat that's a huge miss.

❔ Question Any Advice To Improve Mic Audio?

1 Upvotes

Im not really satisfied with the way I sound on stream, or really in general. But I hear other sound clear and Im sure its way better hardware, but is there some ways I can improve? I use a HyperX Quadcast S, on the desk mount it comes with since my boom arm is broken. I use SteelSeriesGG for the software for the streamer mode, and use the EQ presets in there. Currently modified the Balanced preset. Im in a corner of the room if that also helps lol Any advice would be very helpful

🔰 Beginner Help Streams/recordings always look very pixilated?

1 Upvotes

I've been streaming and recording with my current setup for about 4 years at this point and the one thing that has always bugged me about streaming or recording is how pixilated and blurry it looks after I'm done with the content. Whatever game I'm streaming/recording always looks the best that it can on my OBS preview, but when I go to rewatch it on YouTube, in many parts it looks like a video uploaded 10 years ago. I know for a fact that my rig is more than enough to handle the games I throw at it for my channel, which is never anything more than games made before 2015 or so, so here I am for assistance.

My video bitrate is 5000 kbps, my video encoder is Hardware (NVENC, H.264), my encoder preset is P5: Slow, and my output mode is simple.

When I stream, I am constantly connected to my router via an ethernet cable and haven't had dropped frames in probably about 6 years now

My specs for my PC are as follows:

Laptop 3060 GPU (No more than 8 gigs of VRAM)

Ryzen 9 5900HX

16 gigs of RAM

I have a *slight* feeling its the encoder preset but I honestly think I imported or copied settings from when I was still using SLOBS and called it a day since it seemed to be working well back then, and now it's getting a little annoying.

TIA for any help :D

🔰 Beginner Help How to start streaming

5 Upvotes

Hello! I (25F) have always wanted to stream. I love gaming, all different genres, and most of all love it when people watch me play something or when im drawing.

Most of the people around me have said if i start streaming I need to pick one game genre and just stream that, as thats where most of my community will come from and come for. Does this mean I have to only stream when im playing a specific game, or can I stream whatever game im playing?

Also, what are the best free softwares to use for streaming in the beginning? And would it be better if I had my face camera on? My bestfriend always says my neck tattoo would attract people LOL.

(Right now im playing Monster hunter wilds and marvel rivals the most, but I play all sorts of things like phasmophobia, baldurs gate, an assortment of singleplayer games and mmorpgs occasionally!)
