@hammerdance How are you finding the platform? I've done two streams so far, and I have no new followers as of yet, but I feel like there's less pressure than on Twitch
I know you linked all the stuff you use to stream below in the description. But what camera are you specifically using to film yourself in this video? I need a much better camera, and I love the quality of this video!
I have always wanted to know how streamers get there videos clean and on point.. this step by step guide really helped me get on track.. i feel like a lot of streamers keep the new guys off track for what ever reason.. i liked this videos and shot you a sub thanks again!!
They do. They don't like to help people get started. It was and still is very tough getting all the settings right. I heard one streamer say his kbps is 45,000. These big streamers have an upload of 500+. Normal gamers who don't make tons of money off this and have a real day job, our upload is 22 lol.
Just like the other comments thank you for this!!!! Hubs and i have no desire to stream on Twitch. I just signed up with Kick and livestreaming is a totally foreign but exciting new thing for us to try out. A lot of tutorials i found were overwhelming to noobs like us. But this really helped in understanding a good basic setup without doing a deep dive. We have done a bit of livestreaming to YT for practice. But OBS is a whole other ballpark. Looking forward to watching your other videos!
Hey I’m new to Kick! And I streamed 4 days ago and now it won’t stop streaming. On streamlabs it shows I’m not live but on kKck it shows I’m live and when u click on my live, it’s nothing. Right now it’s says I’ve been live for 110 hours 😅 I gotta fix this. Any help is much appreciated 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video bro, my stream quality is better now, however.. I'm running 936p (1664x936) for quality on stream for the streaming pc, my streaming pc is an Ryzen 5 3600 + GTX 1060 :)
7:54 actually I need to use x264 if I want to have good framerate when streaming. My cpu is so much better than my gpu and I dont even notice any performance drop when streaming on faster, while most games are unplayable when using gpu encoder. For reference: CPU: i7-12700KF GPU: RX 5600 XT
Thanks for this video and the nice explanation. I did notice something: Is the Video Output (Scaled) Resolution really your stream resolution? Or is it the resolution in which OBS displays everything in your scenes? I though that the resolutions for Streaming and for Recording was under Settings -> Output -> Streaming/Recording tabs. So far I've set everything to 1440p (matching my monitor), so everything has been working fine!
You got any advice or plan on doing any content around multistreaming in OBS using plugins like the MultiRTMP or others? I know you can go pay for a service like Restream and others, but for those that dont want to fork over the additional $ I think it might be beneficial content. In my case, I have a dual PC setup that are both pretty beefy, so resource bandwidth isnt an issue, but I have ran into others that set up the plugin the wrong way, and end up with not 1 crappy quality stream, but mulit crappy quality streams 😂😂. Great content bro, keep it up!
you should make a video on how to setup a dual pc setup without goxlr i have a wave mic and wave link i feel like there should be a way to make auido with the wave link
I think I saw something about needing to have a live cam on your stream as part of the monetization qualifications? is that the case, if you happen to know?
I set up OBS Studio just like this, but my kick streams are only coming out to 720p 60 instead of 1080p 60, my video settings has 1920x1080 in both drop downs, any idea why this might be?
so i have a 1080p gaming monitor but I play "stretch res" which is 1680 x 1050, so should I change my base (canvas) resolution and Output (scale) resolution to 1680 x 1050 or keep it 1920 x 1080
Do you have any advice with Encoder Overload? I have in game settings to the lowest possible have been capping FPS as well with RTSS. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x3D and an RTX 4070ti with 32 GB 3600mhz DDR4 Trident Z Ram
hello just wanted to point out that at 6:09 we can see the server that you chose to keep hidden, just to point it out for you to fix i don't know if you wanted to show that or not
I just wanta say the reason people would add extra delay is if they're streaming a tournament or something like that. some tourney's require a delay to prevent viewers from stream sniping for other competitors
So when i stream on kick my obs settings are exactly like the video, 1080p. My stream on line is perfect and crisp, but when im done streaming i go back and watch the video on kick and the video is really blurry and the video doesn't have a 1080p resolution option, only 720p. Is this happening to anyone else. What am i doing wrong. My setup-1440p monitor, cpu(5800x3D), 6800xt graphics card. Any help is appreciated.
followed everything you did but when i start the stream it never pops up says im offline but when i look my streaming hours says i am but thers no video or anything
Giving Kick streaming a try and such. It definitely is a whole different thing in comparison to Twitch. Followed the steps exactly and it seems to have worked. However, when I visit my own Kick channel, I still appear as offline. The very brief time I've been attempting to stream on that platform does appear to be registering. Anybody else having this issue? Perhaps I missed a step or am erroring in another way?
I streamed on Twitch no problems, I tried before watching the video but used same steps to put in stream info. No live notification on app or stream and on browser showed no stream either.Edit, it might be as hadn't added the stream info in edit stream info as just doing a test, after that seems to work.
@@stormtrooperdan1150 Edit: Restream indicates that it is broadcasting to Kick, but still the Kick creator dashboard shows offline. Bizzare. Turns out, I need to keep my Restream window open for the stream to properly go through to Kick via OBS. For reasons unknown to me, going directly to Kick via OBS just won't work. But hey, found a solution even with all this confusion.
Why doesn’t my viewers have a 1080p quality option when viewing? I watch my own stream just to read chat and it’s very blurry and only quality option I have is 720p with that being the highest
I just commented on this same issue 720p highest option. My stream is clear and crisp though...I watch my own stream on my phone that's how I know it's clear...it counts toward your views.
Great vid ! Fallow on kick-sub here-like :) I need help. Started too stream on kick before few days, everything was great HD 1080p. Next day max stream resolution was 720p (others working too 480p, 360p and 160p). I didn't touch anything in OBS. Everything was same like last time. Then I google it. People say now if you are new on kick, max is 720p. Other people are new too but they have 1080p. I don't know what is true. There is so little info right now. But I have on kick now when I click on "stream key" there is new option/link "Creat Restream Account", and there is video on youtube, guy saying we need to make restream account. Any help would be great.
@@XboxMurda apparently as of last month, kick limited the quality/bitrate for streamers with least viewers(0-1-2-3 im assuming) to prioritize the more popular streamers. so not really much u can really do about it.
I moved to kick and I'm completely new to pc and obs. This helped me greatly so, thank you! I feel less confused now ❤
instant subscribe.
thank you SO MUCH for not using "youtube voice" and just talking to us normally like an actual human being
quick, informal and to the point. You love to see it, instant subscription for sure
One of the best tutorials I’ve watched, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I've actually just moved to Kick recently and this is exactly the video I need. Thank you
You’re welcome! Tons more on special features and plugins to enhance your streams coming in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!
@hammerdance How are you finding the platform? I've done two streams so far, and I have no new followers as of yet, but I feel like there's less pressure than on Twitch
Thanks for making a longer form video on this. Having an explanation for what each section actually does is useful for tuning settings, appreciate it
Fantastic upload mate!
This will help the community out so much!
Glad you think so!
I was wanting try Kick out, this helped me out. Def following you on Kick! Hope to catch one of your streams

Thanks Hammer , Very well explained. I'm going to give it a try.
bro i love ur tutorials u make everything so clear
Hello and thanks for sharing this setup.But inm Output section why disabled or uncheck option Lock-ahead.
bookmarking the video into sections would really help 💯
Thanks for the video! Covered everything I had questions on moving from Twitch! 😎👍
ty man this was the most well explained video i have ever watched
Great video. Thank you for walking us thru it
I plan on starting to stream on kick soon, so THANK YOOOOU!
thank you for the vid.. just made the switch myself!
With my earphones maxed the talking was still very quiet. Turn up the gain n keep it up bro!
this man needs more subs! :)

do you think you could make a video on obs disconecting and reconecting?
I noticed kick's own help page shows keyframe interval of 1s with nvenc, should i use 1 or 2?
I do have one question. What camera do you use for your streams? The picture is so clear and smooth. I know for a fact mine is not like that at all.
Appreciate the guide bro 💪🏾
Do you think a laptop with have enough power for streaming ? Or do you prefer I should invest into a laptop?
Laptop is better i got one

8:24 hey what encoder do I use if I have a APU or intergrated graphics do I still use x264?
Ty I’m going to try this 😊👍
If you have a crazy upload speed can we put the bitrate higher than 8000 or will that not matter when streaming on kick?

Random Question but who made your cam box?
Mine doesn’t stream 1080p after these settings do you have to be affiliated! On kick
you add stream delay to avoid stream sniping (when someone uses your stream against you when playing you)
Hammer what is the name of the song in the background???
what if you dont got nvidia for the video encoder what should i use?
I only have 3 presets and 3 profile picks. no multipass mode and its on advance am I missing something?
thank you
8:08 how about between AMD H264 AVC and AMD H265 HEVC? new streamer so l don't have deep knowledge about this
hello just wanted to point out that at 6:09 we can see the server that you chose to keep hidden, just to point it out for you to fix i don't know if you wanted to show that or not
Basicly kick is now doing what twitch do.. Limit bitrate for new people downscale their stream to 720 and give it all to big streamers..
Their rule to giving quality options is... you have to average a minimum of 3 viewers per stream.
Good fortune to you sir
great video
Ty nickel!
What if you’re tryna stream from kick but your screen is lagging? I have a MacBook/Xbox not a PC. Obs screen is clear but kick video is frozen
I just wanta say the reason people would add extra delay is if they're streaming a tournament or something like that. some tourney's require a delay to prevent viewers from stream sniping for other competitors
which is better to use svt-av1 or aom av1?
tnx bruh
will it help to increase bitrate if i have a 160 mpbs upload??
u should make a vid on one monitor chat
8:06 so I don’t have that as an option, what’s a good alternative
Any way to do a Queue bot or something like that on Kick?

Recently I’ve been getting “ dropped frames” on my OBS. I’ve been streaming everyday for months and then last couple days it hit.
Can we get a updated version ?

I did all the settings as it was set but I still get 720p and idk why one time it just magic gave me a stream one time on 1080p
I’m doing it but I’m still
Not live on kick
when i start streaming, my obs is just disconnecting and reconnecting all the time. Ive followed all ur steps but it doesnt work

I can’t find the game capture button
unfortunately im capped at 720p60 and it sucks - stream goes pixelated when moving around in game
Best thing is turn bitrate to 6000
Sorry bother I just made my kick account how can I go live on it
my stream is still going to kick in 720
On kick your stream will only get bumped to 1080p if you’re LAST stream had 5+ viewers in it.
i can't stream in 1080p for some reason i tried everything
What about slobs
Is it just me or is kick streaming seem way more pixelated then say a 720 stream on twitch
same
