Is My Internet Good Enough to Stream?
How to check whether your internet can stream at the picture quality you want, in minutes, with a free test.
The short answer
Run the upload speed test. It shows the upload you have, and the Health check shows what your PC can encode. Choose the picture quality that both can keep.
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
How much upload do I need for 1080p?
Several megabits of steady upload per place, with spare room for everything else on the line. Run the test for your exact line.
Want all of this in one app?
