Why does my stream look blurry to my viewers? On OBS it looks perfect.

[Kaveski]

I'm streaming at 1080P 30FP. Bitrate 5000. My internet upload speed is 99mbps, download speed is 700 mbps.

So I'm using obs and streamster, the problem happens to both. I tried all the encoder options. I tried to lower my resolution and bitrate.

The video quality looks perfect on my end on the stream softwares, but on viewer's end it looks blurry, even more blurry than 720p.

I really don't know what to do.
Please help me out.. Thank you

show us your Settings > Video section in OBS and also right click your video capture device under sources (main obs screen) then go to properties and show us that window as well.

Here are my settings

Settings look good, i'd set video format to mjpeg but thats not something that would cause it to be blurry

What can I do (

what about if you use the built in web broadcaster, does it still show up blurry to the viewers?

Yes I don't see a difference

It seems to look blurry on every site not only Chaturbate

dirty lens? light too close to webcam, light shining directly into webcam, is camera zoomed in? just throwing out ideas. Did this just start when you started using the logitech streamcam or had you been using it fine then this issue started out of the blue?

If it's the problem of the webcam then it wouldn't look good on OBS. I mean the image quality looks perfect on OBS.

but if you open it in a projector window and expand the size of the window to the same size as your viewers see it still looks perfect?

Hello's.

I dont overly know what i'm talking about,, but if you want to spend 2 minutes trying a test, feel free.

>>Bitrate 5000.
This means 5mbs.
Since your net can handle 99, i'm not sure why you are locking this as low as 5..
As far as i know, the settings you have need about 8.5.. If that is the case, then its not getting enough power, set to 5.

Doing a google..

Type	Video Bitrate, Standard Frame Rate (24, 25, 30)	Video Bitrate, High Frame Rate (48, 50, 60)
2160p (4K)	44–56 Mbps	66–85 Mbps
1440p (2K)	20 Mbps	30 Mbps
1080p	10 Mbps	15 Mbps

To me, is saying, use 10.. So again 5 is probably too low.

Since your internet is so good... I would try setting your bit-rate to 12,000 and giving that a 2 min test.


Good Luck

Yes it looks like 1080p.

Tried it, doesn't seem to change anything. But thank you.

Would you share your CB page link so we can see what you're talking about from viewer side?

CB recommends 5000 for 1080p 30fps, there isn't too much to be gained going higher tbh.

If everything seems fine on your end then it's probably either an issue with your internet connection or your router.

Two things you can try after you run a speedtest and rule out your actual connection is googling your specific router and seeing if there are any known issues with compression like this, and/or try using an ethernet cable.

There may also be a random setting somewhere that is throttling your upload speeds. I'm by no means an expert but these all seem like things to try if you've ruled out OBS.

Either it's your bitrate being too low or it might be the nvidia hardware encoder. Not all nvidia cards can do the same level of hardware encoding. 1000 series cards had trouble when the nvidia encoder was pushed beyond 720p60fps. 2000/3000 series can do 1080p60fps no problem the 3000 series cards can go upto 4k/30.

You are using a different encoder for stream and for the recording video. I would use the same encoder for both (my version of OBS lets me do that). And then any quality issues should be visible in the recorded video also and that is easier/faster to check.

I would use nvenc for both. I know even the recent AMD encoder sucks (at the same bitrate as software and/or NVENC quality is clearly worse), and I don't know how good the QSV encoder is. It may simply be that all of the right settings aren't enabled for the QSV encoder, or that it is simply not that good.

Does the downscale filter need to be set? if you are using 1920x1080 then shouldn't it be set on NONE for downscaling?
I see aliasing artifacts on the above imaged on the arms.
