does your stream do a lot of buffering
and stop at certain points it's probably
because you don't have a strong
connection and not broadcasting to the
correct server but not to worry I got
you covered in this video I'm gonna show
you how to test your connection on
Twitch and make sure you're broadcasting
on the best server let's go!
Hey it's me it's Wild coming at you for my stream
support playlist where I bring you the
best tips and tricks and if this is your
first time here and you want to learn
how to grow and improve your stream make
sure you hit that big red subscribe
button and tick that Bell soon when my
videos go live for you if you're a
streamer I'm sure you want to have the
best quality for your viewers and your
subscribers out there but nobody really
makes it clear on what's gonna be the
best settings for you and your stream
and luckily for you twitch has a really
cool tool that they don't talk about
that much so I'm gonna show you how you
can test what is gonna be the best
connection speed for you and your
broadcast and how to test what is gonna
be the most optimized server for your
broadcast needs let's go over the
computer now that we're over at the
computer our first step is to log in
under your own twitch account from here
go to the Creator dashboard and if it
doesn't default to live make sure you go
to live on the Left ledger there from
here you're gonna go to the modular tab
that says stream health when you click
that down in the bottom right hand
corner it will show you something called
twitch inspector and this is what you
want to click on now just a quick side
note if this is your first time using
twitch inspector it will ask you to
authenticate your account to give it
permission so make sure you click yeah
so that way you can get to this screen
here once you have given permission you
want to click on run a test stream which
is on the right hand side of the page
this will populate a window here where
all you need a concentrate is on the
piece of code that it gives you what you
want to do is copy and paste this on the
end of your stream key now this will
work for a bunch of different programs
out there like OBS and SLOBS so simply
just copy and paste it to the end and
make sure you click apply so that way it
saves the changes that
you do with the changes all saved you
are ready to start a test stream simply
just start streaming and from here you
can allow your stream to run for about
10 to 30 minutes this will give you a
good sample size to see if there's any
hiccups or any errors that occur and
what you want to pay attention to is the
signal strength this will allow you to
know if you have to make changes to
lowering your bitrate or maybe you can
raise it up to see if you want to have a
little bit better quality and you can
also check to see if the server that
you're using is a little too maybe
crowded or can't process the information
and you can also see if you want to
switch over to a different one that
might be even though it's a little
further away maybe a little less crowded
of it generally the one closest to you
is best and from here you can take all
the information that you need to in make
the changes that's gonna make your
stream that much better once you've made
all the appropriate changes to your
server and how much you want to push out
on your kilobit rate just make sure you
take off that little piece of coding at
the end of your stream key before you
start your next stream cuz I speak from
experience one time I was streaming and
I wish streaming to the test server so
make sure you take that off and apply
the changes so that way you're good to
go up your next stream now twitch
inspector isn't the only game in town
there's a few other programs out there

am i dropping frames or why does my
stream buffer or what kill bitrate

programs that may help you out if you're
