HOW TO: Test Your Twitch Stream Quality In OBS Before You Go Live

High demands on your home network or Internet Service Provider could be the cause of you stream having poor quality. We all know that to modify the output setting on your stream means ending your stream and loosing viewers. In this video, I will show you one of the new features in OBS that will help you identify these issues before you go live.

If you don't see the option, reconnect your twitch account to OBS by first going to your twitch profile on the website, go to connections, then scroll down and disconnect from OBS.
Then go back into OBS and click connect account. This should bring the bandwidth test mode option back to you.
This is how I resolved the issue for me.

Thanks for the video! I'm keen on starting, and was about to go through all that mindboggling steps of copying the stream key etc. This is way faster, as you stated!

[@36darkeyes]

Excellent, thanks man!

[@ChrisHarnessTV]

Enable Bandwidth Test Mode is not an option in my Stream Settings. Why is that a thing?

[@xn0gaming]

Audio is a huge problem with OBS. Its literally trial and error until you find out which output is right.

[@warfu_]

Thank youuuu, I still have my OBS in version 28 so maybe that's why I found it.

[@BlindingSun_]

is there a way to test your stream to say an Ipad if you only have 1 monitor to work with? cheers in advance

[@NikosKatsikanis]

v30 update?

[@tugn_4969]

Legenddddddddddd

[@MadAboutTutorials]

Thanks mate

[@dbzy_cjk]

Is this a good way to also test the fps impact on the game your playing or is the fps impact only applicable when streaming live

[@def1ance]

Assuming you're asking a question, the answer is yes.

[@Dawnnie473]

How do I see/hear what my viewers are experiencing? Do I still have to go live and have someone else go on to my stream to help me tweak things? Thanks in advance.

[@Schnipps]

That or have another account you use on your phone or pc you can log into and use.

[@Sensey1234]

@@Schnipps how others can see your screen if you not appears live ? doesn't make sense or i'm missing something...

[@Ukrainian.Language]

@@Sensey1234you make your live unlisted or private :)

[@Meskwaki]

My OBS doesn't have the test box to tick.

[@MadAboutTutorials]

OBS adds it an removes it in different versions of the app, so hard to keep up with what they're doing

[@BrainyTB]

I'm I the only one who can't see this option

[@benjixkai]

No, I also do not have this option in my obs either.

[@MadAboutTutorials]

what version are you running?

[@tsushibird4519]

​@@benjixkai connect to a twitch account... try that

[@sheliacarver7826]

I don't have it either

[@lightningboltgd3036]
