How to Pick a Stream Resolution: 720p or 1080p
Choose 720p or 1080p by what your PC and upload can carry. A smooth 720p often beats a struggling 1080p.
The short answer
Start with 720p if you are unsure. Move to 1080p only if the health check and your upload agree and the stream stays smooth 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
Is 1080p always better?
Not if your PC or upload cannot keep it steady. A smooth lower picture looks better than a stalling sharp one.
