How to Avoid Game Lag When Streaming
Keep your game smooth while you stream: separate the game from the stream’s load and pick settings your PC can carry.
The short answer
Game lag while you stream is the PC doing too much at once. Pick a stream quality the check shows, keep other programs closed, and save a scene that is light on the processor.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Open Connections and the Health check. They show what your PC and network can carry before you go live.
- Choose a picture quality that the check and the upload test agree on. A steady stream beats a sharp one that stalls.
- Turn on Record first so your recording is never missing a moment, and viewers see a smooth stream behind it.
- Keep the Lifeline on. When the connection weakens, the stream steps down to a smaller picture instead of freezing.
What to know first
Results depend on your PC and your connection. Streamdzy’s safety systems cover the most common failures, but no app can fix a connection that is down. Run the upload speed test to see your line first.
Questions
Will recording make my game lag?
