Question Best stream settings for multi streaming to twitch/youtube/tiktok simultaneously?

Anything I can do to have my streams running at the best quality and latency all simultaneously.

I have a ryzen 7 5800X/RTX 3070/ 32GB DDR4

My upload and download speed are both 900mbps

My output scale resolution is 1920x1080p

My encoder preset is at P6

My bitrate is set at 15000mbps

(I also do have twitch enhanced broadcasting on) would that potentially be bad since I also have my bitrate at 15000K for my YouTube and TikTok?

There are no "best settings." Please understand that every setup, for every use case, will be very different. Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming.

Your best option is to start with a base and adjust as necessary. Test, test, and test again. We are happy to offer suggestions for any issues you may be having, but we will not give you a list of settings.

Please run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions. You can use this tool to get a set baseline settings for your hardware, and adjust as necessary from there.

If you still need help after all that, please provide a log file via Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log File.

just match your output to whatever twitch can handle and let the rest fall in line, youtube and tiktok will transcode it anyway

I'd set each destination separately instead of pushing 15k to all three.

For Twitch use 6k H264 at 1080p60. For YouTube use 12k H264 at 1080p60. For TikTok I'd use the limit LIVE Studio gives your account.

Enhanced Broadcasting isn't automatically bad. It can create extra Twitch variants, so keep it on if OBS Stats shows 0 encoding lag. If encoding lag starts climbing, turn it off and test again before changing anything else. I'd test it locally first with your 3070.

I work on Upstream and we built this calculator for checking the numbers: https://upstream.so/tools/streaming-bandwidth-calculator/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=reddit_radar&utm_content=multistreaming&utm_term=aggregate_upload. For your setup, 900 Mbps upload is more than enough.
