If you want to know how to reduce the Twitch transmission delay, this article has it covered for you.

What is the lag problem in Twitch transmissions?


It really is not a new problem, in fact it is one of the most common on this platform. One of the most common problems with it occurs when there is not a minimum delay between the streaming software and the broadcast, which will prevent you from being up to date with the chat. Fortunately, here we will tell you how to reduce the transmission delay

How to reduce the transmission delay of Twitch?


The first thing you have to do is verify that your Internet speed is fast enough to support the bit rate that has been configured, in case it is not fast enough you will have to reduce the bit rate, which will allow you process and ship smoothly.
Here's a guide to how fast your upload should be to support certain bit rates.

  • 240p 300 Kbps 426 × 240
  • 360p 600 Kbps 640 × 360
  • 480p 1500 Kbps 854 × 480
  • 720p 3,000 Kbps 1280 × 720
  • 1080p 6000 Kbps 1920 × 1080

You should keep in mind that if your bitrate is set too high for the resolution you are streaming, the best thing you can do is lower it, which will help delay the transmission.

Another option would be to reduce the output frame rate in the OBS video settings, this will lower the scent bandwidth and reduce the lag.

Setting the stream to stream in low latency mode is another thing you can do. For this you will have to go to the platform's website> access your Creator Dashboard> Settings> Transmit> select Latency Mode and choose low latency if it is not configured by default.

Now that you know how to reduce the Twitch transmission lag, we hope we have been able to help you improve the performance of your streams, so we hope you can stream smoothly again as soon as possible.
