What Are Dropped Frames?
Dropped frames are pictures that never reach the platform, usually because the PC or the upload could not keep up.
The short answer
A dropped frame is a picture that did not get sent. Dropped frames during a stream mean the PC or the connection is overloaded. Lower the quality and check the upload.
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
How many dropped frames are too many?
A few are normal on a long show. A steady stream of them means the setting is too high.
Want all of this in one app?
Streamdzy is a free streaming and recording app for Windows: several cameras, your phone as a camera, going live to many places at once, and recording first so a bad connection never costs you the show.
