Might Have to Give up on Twitch...

I've tried streaming games quite a few times now on twitch and at first my problem was just nerves and getting tired out after about an hour and a half of streaming to where I couldn't think of good things to say anymore or play very well. But what I wasn't even noticing is that my frame rate drops all the time during streams and gets unwatchable at times. I had no idea till the first stream I got some real comments on, and someone said they could hardly get my stream to load. I watched back my last stream and large portions of it are unwatchable, but I was saying a lot of funny stuff during those parts.

I've tried using ai to troubleshoot and done everything it said to do, changing to 720, making sure the right video card is chosen, lowering my bit rate, but the streams keep getting choppy and if they aren't choppy they lose quality and start looking like even worse than 720hd, it's starting to feel not worth it and like I should just record the content offline. What sucks is I was finally starting to get comfortable being live and hitting upwards of 3 hours on my streams, but if everytime someone clicks one they click off because it looks like shit, and if good footage is unusable because of it, it feels like I'm wasting time. If I can get the guts to do it I may try just going live with a webcam and guitar, that might be less taxing on my wifi I dunno, but that's a whole different ball game and I can guarantee I'll be like 5 times more nervous doing that lmao

The only way to test a stream is to actually go live, (at least according to copilot) and my recordings are fine before you add in the wifi element, once I start streaming the bit rate goes up and down. I've had a few streams that looked fine, but I can never predict when they will or won't, maybe it's affected by the weather or what my parent's are doing on their computers or something.

Nah dude, you can test how the video looks and how the audio is by hitting record but it's not testing how the wifi will handle the stream, nothing gets sent out, so if the problem is the upload speed it tells you nothing, and my problem is definitely the wifi/upload speed.
