Quick Definitions
What is Bitrate?
Bitrate is the amount of data processed per second. Higher bitrate equals higher video quality, but requires more internet bandwidth.
Base vs. Output Resolution
Base (Canvas) should match your monitor resolution. Output (Scaled) is the resolution your viewers actually see. Scaling down reduces load on your computer.
Encoder Presets
'Fast' presets utilize more CPU, 'Veryfast' or 'Ultrafast' utilize less. If your stream lags, try a faster preset.
