What Is Bitrate for Streaming?

What bitrate means for a stream: how much data each second carries, and how to choose it from your upload speed.

The short answer

Bitrate is how much data the stream sends each second. A higher bitrate looks sharper but needs more upload. Choose it from your upload speed.
