Stream settings control how your video is processed and delivered during broadcasts. They cover the stream's name, size and region, the input and its audio, destinations, output quality, the overlay, auto stream, highlights and recording.

​

You set these up when you create a stream, or later by editing it. Adding and editing a stream use the same window. It's titled CREATE STREAM SETTINGS when you add a stream and UPDATE STREAM SETTINGS when you edit one. Some settings can be changed while a stream is live, while others need the stream to be stopped first.

​

From the Matches section, expand the match, click the three-dot action menu next to the stream, and select Configure. You can also open the match's Stream Monitor, click the three-dot menu and select Stream Settings. Note that Stream Settings can't be accessed from Match Centre.

​

A section list runs down the left of the window: Stream, Input, Destinations, Output, Overlay, Automation and Recording. Each section shows its current value. Click a section to jump to it, or scroll.

​

Some settings can be changed while your stream is running. These include adding or removing destinations, changing the overlay assignment, and adjusting audio settings such as mix, mute and volume.

​

Other settings need the stream to be stopped before you can change them: frame rate, resolution, region and input assignment. To change any of these, stop the stream, make the changes, then start it again.

​

This section sets the stream's identity, region and who can see it. Stream Name (required) gives your stream a descriptive name, for example "Main Camera". Stream Size (required) sets the size of the stream, for example Regular. Region (required) is the server region. Choose the one closest to your location for best performance, for example US East (N. Virginia). The Available To Club Portals toggle controls whether the stream can be seen in the Club Portal.

​

This section sets where the stream is pushed when it goes live. Choose a Stream Destinations Source, for example Specific destinations. Then pick up to 4 Stream Destinations.

​

This section sets the encoding of the main stream and what plays when no input is live. Idle Image lets you upload and edit an image to show when the stream is idle, before or after the match. Resolution (required) sets the output size, for example 1080 (1920x1080). Frames Per Second (required) sets the frame rate, for example 60. Video Bitrate (required) is set in Mbps. A higher bitrate means better quality but needs more bandwidth.

​

This section sets the graphics layered over the stream. In Overlay, pick an overlay that already exists for the match, for example Main Feed. Initial Overlay Volume sets the overlay's audio level from 0 to 10. When Start Overlay Hidden is on, the overlay doesn't appear automatically when the stream starts. You'll need to show the graphics yourself.

​

The Input section sets where the video comes from and how its audio is mixed. Choose a Stream Input Source, for example Specific input. Then pick the Stream Input, for example Demo Input 01. A stream can't start without an input. Initial Input Stream Volume sets the audio level of the incoming video from 0 to 10. Mix Input Audio Channels (Mix Left And Right Audio) mixes the left and right channels together. Mute Input Audio Channels lets you mute the left (L) or right (R) channel if needed.

​

In the Automation section, switch on the Auto Stream toggle to have the stream start, go live and stop on a schedule.

​

The Recording section has three toggles. Highlights need the full feed archived. Generate Highlights must be on if you want highlights created from match events. If it's off, no highlights are generated. Auto Publish Highlights, when on, publishes highlights automatically to connected social media accounts. Store Match Recording, when on, archives a full recording of the stream. It's switched on automatically when Generate Highlights is on.

​

When you've finished, click Create (for a new stream) or Update (for an existing stream) at the bottom of the window to apply your changes.
