If you want a professional streaming solution then use Wirecast. Before opening up OBS, let’s cover the bandwidth needed for live streaming. Step one is to test the upload speed at the location you are streaming from. You can do so by visiting and clicking on the “Go” button. I recommend having a minimum of 20 mbps upload speed for live streaming.

720p is still High Definition (HD) and I have found the quality to be pretty darn good. Test, test, testand then Test Again!

More one that in a bit. Did I mention how important it is to test 🙂 Ok, let’s move on to the next steps. If your camera is already connected to the Mini Recorder and computer/laptop, then disconnect it to change the video resolution coming out of the camera. For demonstration purposes, let’s set this to 720p at 60 fps. Once everything has been set, reconnect your camera to the Mini Recorder, which should be connected to either your computer or laptop.
