What Is V-Sync?

V-Sync matches the game’s frame rate to your screen’s refresh rate, which can stop tearing but add delay.

The short answer

V-Sync syncs the game to the screen to stop tearing. It can add input delay, so test it with your stream and your game.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Read the definition, then find the same word in Streamdzy: under Settings, in the scene, or on the Go live screen.
  2. Try it in a short test recording or a private stream, so the word means something you have seen.
  3. Read the feature page for it to see the settings, then set it up for your show.
  4. 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

Does V-Sync affect the stream?
