How to Fix Stream Not Working using OBS (Laggy, Slow, Disconnecting)
0If you’re experiencing issues with your stream not working in OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check Your Internet Connection and Bitrate:
Make sure your internet connection is stable. Dropped frames can occur if your connection isn’t consistent.
Use a speed test to estimate your upload speed, but keep in mind that your actual stable bitrate is usually around 70-75% of the estimated speed1.
Consider using OBS Studio’s Dynamic Bitrate feature, which automatically adjusts your bitrate to manage congestion.
Select the Correct Stream Server:
Open OBS Studio and go to Settings.
Click on Stream in the left panel.
Next to Server, click the drop-down icon and choose a different server from the menu.
Check Source Input:
Ensure that your source input (e.g., game capture, display capture) is correctly set up.
If the game isn’t appearing, try capturing a specific window instead.
Update OBS Software:
Make sure you’re using the latest version of OBS Studio. Outdated versions may have compatibility issues.
Fix Black Screen Issues:
If you encounter a black screen, try running OBS Studio in Borderless Window mode or windowed mode if supported.
Remember that OBS Studio itself is unlikely to cause dropped frames. If you’ve recently updated OBS Studio and suspect it’s the cause, consider other factors like network stability or source input. If you’ve tried these steps and still need assistance, consider reaching out to your internet service provider (ISP) or seeking further support1. Good luck with your streaming!
