    Explanation

    Server

    Select a server that’s close to where you’re residing.

    Doing so offers more stable connectivity.

    Bitrate

    Sets the video bitrate (how much data is transmitted per second).

    You can increase the bitrate for better livestream video quality.

    Note that if you raise the bitrate too much, the livestream may stop or the video image may be unstable, depending on your network connection speed and traffic.

    See the official Twitch website for the recommended bitrate to use when livestreaming via Twitch.

    Resolution

    Sets the resolution of the livestreamed video.

    This function is only possible with the iOS app.

    The [Select as a destination] button changes to “Disable destination”.

  9. Tap “Save”.

    Check whether “Twitch” is selected with a check mark in the “Streaming Service” list.

    If it isn’t selected, another platform may have been set as the streaming destination, or recording may have been enabled.

    If recording is enabled, disable recording first and then set the streaming destination.
