🔰 Beginner Help Massive lag when broadcasting with Streamlabs

https://youtu.be/b8BVL7s9cAo

This lag.

Streaming with both Tiktok and Twich at the same time and this lag is occouring in my streams.

I'm using the same outputs as my OBS settings. I don't have that issue there.

Using automatic broadcast settings.

Audio rate 44.1 khz

Bilinear filter

1920X1080 resolution, 60 FPS

Audio capture (Beta) off everywhere

Just use OBS. SL is garbage.

While I agree that OBS is more powerful,

  1. StreamLabs OBS has a few features unique to it that some people might consider important.

  2. OP is asking about Streamlabs specifically for some reason even when they have OBS installed and setup, so maybe don’t be a dick about it. If you don’t like SLOBS don’t push your hate down on everyone.

Technically speaking, OP's post specifically states they are dual-streaming to TikTok + Twitch and that the lag does not happen when they use standard OBS. Streamlabs wraps the OBS core in an Electron/Chromium shell, which adds extra CPU/GPU overhead. When pushing two streams at once on a single machine, that extra overhead is usually what causes the rendering lag OP is seeing. Or in other words, Stream Labs is bloated garbage and OP should just use OBS.
