Best Bitrate for IRL Outdoor Streaming (Guide & Real World Examples)

What's the best bitrate for IRL Outdoor live streaming? There are many factors that affect bitrate choices, and in this video, I've covered most use cases, and made recommendations based on performed tests, as well as IRL streaming experience. Of course, a Netgear Nighthawk M1 is going to perform better than a USB stick, so you can always go higher than the recommendations.

[@IntentionalRY]

Thanks for putting this together! Helping me for my Vegas live streams

[@leezavarise]

Excellent!

[@dallestalleallestelle262]

hello spreezy, congratulations for the video, very clear and useful. In your opinion, here is the best smartphone for irl streaming on the market today? I have liphone but after a few minutes it gets too hot. What phone do you use? could you advise me please 🙏🏼

[@SvenZmaj]

Nice video 👀👍

[@dagrowi79]

Well done 👍👍👍

[@johnhuibers5325]

Awesome video!
So you just change the bitrate in the TBS encoder???
No other settings??
Keep up the irl vids!!

[@sprEEEzy]

Exactly, you can change the bitrate on the fly in the TBS dashboard

[@DjGoZe]

Do you use the gopro app to send the signal to obs or how do you do it? Thank you!

[@RankupAviation]

How much of upload speed you need to use 4000 bit rate? 1080p 60fps live streaming in TH-cam?

[@ramenadventure]

4000 gets a lot of compliments for fast outdoor stuff.

[@RankupAviation]

Any idea of how to combine 2 internet connections and then use it as 1 solid uploads speed without paying huge monthly membership

[@paulokemmer]

Amigo, boa noite. Gosto bastante de seus vídeos e de suas orientações. Nesse vídeo em especial, você especificou que o idioma dele é holandês. Se possível, conserta isso, colocando para o inglês(seu idioma), pois não estou conseguindo ler a legenda. Tudo na tradução fica sem nexo. Abraço e muito obrigado.

[@KnightLifeVlogs]

I cant believe this quality. Although for me 60fps is a must

[@Pipo_MMTV]

This tests are RTMP or SRT?

[@HeyItsEstey]

Got a question about the IRL setup, how do you hear the audio from alerts? I always see how you can stream from the backpack but how do you get notifications from follows, subs, etc.

[@KingSolrac]

if you have a smasung you can use an irl app

[@sprEEEzy]

Realtime chat app, and then load your usual alert URL as an "Audio source"

[@CJZiegler]

Dose the TBS 2603 SE have adaptive bitrate? thanks!

[@spreeezytech]

Hey, it doesn't!

[@RadOo]

That's a shame, in my testing the connection quality varies quite widely, in my case I got it somewhat stable at about 4mbps at h265 but I have to use adaptive bitrate to be able to drop to 1mbps minimum so at least stream gets an image. Larix Broadcaster it is 😁

[@HalfBakedTV]

Do you know how they display their bitrate on stream?

[@sprEEEzy]

Usually it's an additional intermediary server like SLS.

[@HalfBakedTV]

@@sprEEEzy I got it working all i did was use the srtswticher it shows the bitrate on the screen
