How to Pick a Frame Rate for Streaming
Choose 30 or 60 frames per second for your stream. 60 looks smoother for fast games but asks more of your PC.
The short answer
Use 30 for talking and slower games, and 60 for fast games when your PC and upload keep up in a test.
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
Does 60 FPS use more upload?
