Not sure if i can post this here.

But i dont understand as to why my stream looks like word not allowed. On facebook.

So i have followed some tutorials.

I run a 4k tv OLED.

But when viewing back on facebook.

It looks low quality.

Any suggestions 

Thanks

Mike

You might find better luck in the OBS forum (on their website), but check your output settings and what bandwidth you’re allowing. 

Is it specifically Facebook where the quality is bad and it’s good on other platforms?

Happy to help you but would need a bit more info. Start by replying with a screenshot of your output settings, minus any credentials.

Thanks for the reply 

Yes only on facebook

My output is 4k

But I believe Facebook is 720p max it streams perhaps.

Thanks

You don't want to set your output to 4k, you don't stream in 4k. Set your scaled output to 720p or 1080p a fixed framerate, usually 30 for streaming, 60 if you play fast paced stuff. Then set bitrate to around 6 - 6.5k, that's what both Twitch and Facebook supports I believe. The more pixels and the higher framerate you send to the server to be streamed, eats into your bitrate allotment and just destroys the quality and clarity. Gotta find some sensible settings. 

last time I used fbook live streaming it was limited to 720p 30 no matter what I injected. That was about 1 1/2 years ago
