OBS Studio: Bitrate Guide (How to Choose)

Twitch has a bitrate limit of 6000 kb/s. So it makes no sense to put more.

Youtube has the following bitrate recommendations:

There is no definite answer here. If you are recording tutorials or just videos from your desktop, it is not necessary to set a high bitrate, 5,000 kb/s will be enough. If you are recording gaming videos, then you need to set the high bitrate. But it also depends on the game. For example, PUBG requires a higher bitrate than Roblox.

Here is the recommended bitrate for gaming videos:

• 4k 60fps: 90,000 kb/s
• 4k 30fps: 50,000 kb/s
• 2k 60fps: 90,000 kb/s
• 2k 30fps 70,000 kb/s
• 1080p 60fps: 30,000 kb/s
• 1080p 30fps: 24,000 kb/s
• 720p 60fps: 17,000 kb/s
• 720p 30fps: 11,000 kb/s
