Does Anyone Broadcast on Twitch?

^^ Thanks. I didn't know if PC specs had anything to do with it, or if it were strictly your upload speed. I think I get 25 down and 3 or 4 up, so that's probably why it cut it off at 480P.

You need to do a speed test, you need 3mbps for 720p and you need 5mbps for 1080p

Yea, I've recorded gameplay and uploaded it to YouTube. I don't have any problems with that. Twitch (owned by Amazon), I didn't necessarily have any problems streaming, the Elgato software makes it as simple as a push of a button... my issue/question was
in regards to what bit rate should I be choosing to stream from? The software doesn't auto-detect, it merely says, "You can't stream at this speed. Try this speed." The recommended resolution was something pretty bad, like 360P.

Live Streaming sounds cool, but me and my friends can be unpredictable sometimes. Most of my friends are still stuck on Xbox 360 which is why I play more on 360. You then get some inadvertent immature language which is common some high pitched noises and
some old person watches it and has a lol or a ?what?. I simply just use my PVR to record, sometimes I need to edit stuff out, then upload it. I don't do live streaming even though the Hauppauge Capture software supports it. Me and most of my friends and lots
or people round the world use Youtube. That's why I broadcast on Youtube rather than Twitch.

I can stream ok on my PS4 but when I stream on the X1 it looks all grainy. I really need to buy one of those capture cards. But I am holding off until some one releases a better capture card then whats already out there.
