TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT
In this video I’m going to show you how use the Twitch Inspector to analyze your streaming bitrate and troubleshoot internet connection or encoder related issues.
Let’s get right into it.
Twitch just released a new tool that lets us figure out what bitrate we should use while streaming, as well as help you troubleshoot connection or encoder related issues. An encoder is basically something like OBS or XSplit. I’m going to show you how to run some tests first, then we’ll go over what everything means, as well as how to troubleshoot different issues. This tool is fairly new, so make sure to subscribe for any future updates about it.
Let’s head over to inspector.twitch.tv and click the login button. Authorize your main channels account to proceed to the next screen. When you first log in you won’t see very much, if you’re a new streamer. If you’ve streamed before you may see some of your past broadcasts in the main area. Let’s start from
square one and take a quick look at the interface. In the top right we can add additional accounts that we’d like to test if needed. Below we can see a button to run a stream test, as well as a “view tips” button that is extremely helpful in answering common questions about bitrate and encoding troubleshooting. The main area will eventually show us the breakdown of our tests.
