In the latest version of OBS 24.0, there is a new feature to dynamically change the bitrate to manage bandwidth congestion. in this video, we review how to stop getting dropped frames in OBS during your broadcasts using this new feature. Remember this feature is still in BETA. So it’s worth testing this feature with various bit-rates to see what gets the best results for your live stream. This new feature allows OBS to use dropped frames as a way to judge what the ideal bit rate should be.
If you are just learning about OBS, bitrate is essentially the quality of your live stream. You can have a 4K resolution live stream with a low bit-rate and it look poor quality. And you can have a 720p resolution live stream with a high bit-rate which could look great. So giving OBS control over your bit-rate is an easy way to optimize your broadcast as congestion in your network connection changes.
The other new part of this feature is the ability to bind your internet connection for streaming to a specific network connection. A NIC (Network Interface Card) can be selected for broadcasting which is preferred over WiFi for example. Using this feature along with the dynamically adjustable bitrate options can help your broadcasts reduce the amount of dropped frames you are seeing in your OBS broadcasts.
