What Is a GOP?
A GOP is the group of pictures between two keyframes. Its length affects how quickly a stream recovers and how viewers join.
The short answer
The GOP is the run of frames from one keyframe to the next. A steady GOP length, usually matching the keyframe interval, keeps a stream reliable.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Read the definition, then find the same word in Streamdzy: under Settings, in the scene, or on the Go live screen.
- Try it in a short test recording or a private stream, so the word means something you have seen.
- Read the feature page for it to see the settings, then set it up for your show.
- Check the pricing page for how use is counted. Every feature is free.
What to know first
Definitions are general; platforms and tools set their own limits and names, so check each platform’s guidance when a number matters to your show.
Questions
Should I change the GOP?
