Video Quality settings correspond
to the following bitrates and
resolutions:
Best - 12 Mbps 1920x1080

Video Quality Considerations
●
The Video Quality settings combine video
bitrate and resolution and will vary based on
the bandwidth available and the platform
used.
●
Always select a video bitrate that is less than
70% of the total upload bandwidth available
on the Internet connection. (i.e. if 5 Mbps is
available, set the video to 3.5 Mbps or lower).
●
Some platforms (i.e. YouTube) will
automatically generate lower quality streams
from a high quality input (transcoding), so the
highest possible quality can be used. If the
streaming platform does not transcode the
video, consider that your viewers must have
the available download bandwidth to view the
stream.
