曾经想知道如何流式传输到 Twitch、YouTube或其他流行的流媒体平台？好吧(Well)，在本指南中，我们将准确解释如何做到这一点。我们将带您完成每个步骤，以便您确切知道需要做什么。
在指南结束时，您将完成设置并准备好开始您的第一次直播。请(Make)务必仔细阅读所有内容，以确保您不会犯任何错误。
我们将介绍以下步骤：
- 选择您的流媒体软件
- 优化您的设置
- 选择您的流媒体平台
- 设置直播密钥
- 上线
第 1 步：选择您的流媒体软件
现在有许多不同的流媒体应用程序可用，但我们推荐以下其中一种。所有这些流媒体选项都完全免费使用。
- OBS Studio –高质量(High)的高级流媒体软件
- Streamlabs OBS –(OBS)具有更漂亮界面和更多集成的OBS
- Nvidia Shadowplay – NVIDIA独有的基于GPU的流媒体，无需任何叠加自定义
如果您想要最大程度的自定义并且不介意使用设置菜单进行调整，请选择OBS Studio。如果您想要更轻松地管理叠加层、屏幕警报和插件，请选择Streamlabs OBS。
如果您只想快速流式传输游戏画面而不是其他内容，请使用GeForce Experience软件中的NVIDIA Shadowplay 。（仅适用于NVIDIA GPU所有者）。
第 2 步：优化您的设置
优化流媒体设置时，您正在更改设置以满足两个要求——基于硬件性能的良好帧速率和分辨率，以及基于上传速度的稳定流。
如果你有一台好电脑，你可能会以每秒 60 帧的速度流式传输 1080P 视频游戏。但是，大多数用户会对 720p 30fps 流媒体感到满意。任何低于此的质量看起来都非常糟糕。
您可以调整比特率以适应您的网络。比特率本质上是每秒发送多少数据。比特率越高，图像质量越精细。比特率越低，视频压缩得越多。
为了使更高分辨率看起来尽可能好，您需要更高的比特率。因此，需要良好的网络速度和良好的计算机才能以更高的质量和帧速率进行流式传输。还有一个应该使用的最大比特率，因为如果你更高，普通用户将无法足够快地下载你的流，这将导致缓冲和延迟。
要测试最佳分辨率和帧速率，请使用NVIDIA Shadowplay、OBS Studio或OBS Streamlabs上的(OBS Streamlabs)录制(record )按钮。
- 首先，打开设置，然后单击视频(Video)选项卡。
- 寻找FPS和base/scaled resolution.
- 首先，将这些设置为60fps和1920×1080。
之后，打开您要录制的游戏。(open the game you’d like to record. )接下来，您需要选择游戏的来源(choose the source of the game)。在Shadowplay
中，这是自动完成的。在OBS Streamlabs和OBS Studio中，您需要添加源。
上图解释了这个过程。添加源后，录制完整的游戏。( record a full game.)完成后，观看视频播放。有没有口吃？如果是这样，请尝试较低的设置。继续尝试，直到找到最佳位置。
现在，你的比特率呢？好吧，这可以通过测试您的网络连接来确定。转到 speedtest.net 并运行测试。记下您的上传速度。(Make)一个好的经验法则是让您的比特率达到上传速度的 75%。这为您提供了足够的备用上传带宽，用于浏览网页、上传文件和在线玩游戏。
例如，我的测试恢复了 6.20 mbps 的上传速度，因此我可以将比特率设置为 4650，即 4,650 kbps。但是，如上所述，应该使用最大比特率。Twitch 建议这是 3,500 kbps。
要设置比特率，请按照以下步骤操作。
在 OBS Studio 和 Streamlabs 上：
- 单击设置(Settings)
- 单击输出(Output)
- 在比特率设置中，输入(type the number)您根据上述信息计算出的数字。
在 NVIDIA Shadowplay 上：
- 打开GeForce 体验(GeForce Experience)。
- 点击右上角的设置(Settings )按钮。
- 单击游戏内叠加层下的设置。(Settings)
- 点击直播(Broadcast Live)。
- 单击Twitch或Youtube。
- 使用滑块选择正确的比特率。
第 3 步：选择您的流媒体平台
现在您已经设置了流媒体软件，是时候注册您选择的平台了。互联网上有很多选择，包括Twitch、YouTube和Mixer。
Twitch 和YouTube很容易成为最受欢迎的，因此在本指南中，我们将重点关注这些。注册后，您需要访问直播仪表板。要访问它，请按照以下步骤操作。
对于抽搐：(For

您现在将在您的直播仪表板上。您可以在此处选择直播标题、选择游戏、添加说明、查看聊天记录、查看获利选项等。
第 4 步：设置您的流密钥
要让您的流媒体软件直接流式传输到您的Twitch、YouTube或其他频道，您需要一个流式传输密钥。这是一个秘密的身份验证密钥，您永远不应与其他人共享。
使用此密钥，您将授予流媒体软件权限，以便在您按下流(Stream )按钮后立即将其上传和流式传输到您的频道。为了找到您的直播密钥，我们在下方提供了适用于YouTube和Twitch的步骤。其他平台将有类似的选项来定位流密钥。
在抽搐：(On

Live Stream Games to Twitch, YouTube, and Other Popular Platforms
Ever wanted to know how to stream to Twitch, YouTube, or other popular streaming рlatforms? Well, in this guide, we’ll be explaining exactly how to do it. We’ll take you through each step ѕo that you knоw exactly what needs to be done.
By the end of the guide, you’ll be set up and
ready to start your very first live stream. Make sure to read everything
carefully though to ensure you don’t make any mistakes.
We will cover the following steps:
- Choosing your streaming software
- Optimizing your settings
- Choosing your streaming platform
- Setting up your stream key
- Going live
Step 1: Choosing Your Streaming Software
There are a number of different streaming apps available now, but we’d recommend one of the following. All of these streaming options are completely free to use.
- OBS Studio – High quality advanced streaming software
- Streamlabs OBS – OBS with a prettier interface and more integrations
- Nvidia Shadowplay – NVIDIA exclusive GPU based streaming without any overlay customization
If you want the most customization and don’t mind tweaking around with settings menus, go for OBS Studio. If you want an easier way to manage your overlays, on-screen alerts, and plug-ins, choose Streamlabs OBS.
If you just want to quickly stream your game footage and nothing else, use NVIDIA Shadowplay in the GeForce Experience software. (For NVIDIA GPU owners only).
Step 2: Optimizing Your Settings
When you optimize your streaming settings, you
are changing settings to meet two requirements – a good frame rate and
resolution based on your hardware performance and a steady stream based on your
upload speed.
If you have a good computer, you can potentially
stream video games in 1080P at 60 frames per second. However, most users will
be happy with 720p 30fps streaming. Any lower than that and the quality can
look quite terrible.
Your bitrate can be tweaked to adjust to your
network. A bitrate is essentially how much data is being sent per second. The
higher the bitrate, the more refined the image quality is. The lower the
bitrate, the more compressed the video will be.
To make higher resolutions look as good as
they should, you’ll need a higher bitrate. Because of this, a good network
speed and a good computer is needed to stream at higher qualities and frame
rates. There’s also a maximum bitrate that should be used, because if you go
higher, the average user will not be able to download your stream fast enough,
which will cause buffering and latency.
To test what resolution and frame rate is best, use the record button on NVIDIA Shadowplay, OBS Studio, or OBS Streamlabs.
- First, open the settings and then click the Video tab.
- Look for an option for FPS and base/scaled resolution.
- To begin with, put these to 60fps and 1920×1080.
After that, open the game you’d like to record. Next, you need to choose the source of the game. In Shadowplay
this is done automatically. In OBS Streamlabs and OBS Studio you need to add a
source.
The image above explains the process. Once you’ve added the source, record a full game. Then once it’s finished, watch the video playback. Did it stutter at all? If so, try lower settings. Keep trying until you find the sweet spot.
Now, what about your bitrate? Well, this can
be determined by testing your network connection. Go to speedtest.net and run a
test. Make note of your upload speed. A good rule of thumb is to have your
bitrate 75% of your upload speed. This gives you enough spare upload bandwidth
for browsing the web, uploading files, and playing games online.
As an example, my test brought back an upload
speed of 6.20 mbps, so I can potentially set my bitrate to 4650, which
translates to 4,650 kbps. However, like mentioned above, there’s a maximum
bitrate that should be used. Twitch suggests this to be 3,500 kbps.
To set your bitrate, follow the steps below.
On OBS Studio and Streamlabs:
- Click Settings
- Click Output
- In the bitrate setting, type the number you worked out from the information above.
On NVIDIA Shadowplay:
- Open GeForce Experience.
- Click the Settings button in the top right.
- Click Settings under in-game overlay.
- Click Broadcast Live.
- Click Twitch or Youtube.
- Use the slider to select the right bitrate.
Step 3: Choosing Your Streaming Platform
Now that you have set up your streaming software, it’s time to sign up to the platform of your choice. There are a number of choices on the internet, including Twitch, YouTube, and Mixer.
Twitch and YouTube are easily the most
popular, so for this guide we’ll be focusing on these. Once you have signed up,
you’ll need to visit your live stream dashboard. To access this, follow the
steps below.
For

check your chat, view monetization options and more.
Step 4: Setting Up Your Stream Key
To get your streaming software to stream
directly to your Twitch, YouTube, or other channel, you will need a stream key.
This is a secret authentication key that you should never share with somebody
else.
With this key, you are giving the streaming software permission to upload and stream directly to your channel as soon as you press the Stream button. To find your stream key, we’ve provided steps for both YouTube and Twitch below. Other platforms will have similar options for locating the stream key.
On
Twitch:
- On the Twitch dashboard, click Channel under the settings section to the left
- On this page, click Copy on the Private stream key.
- You can also click Show and copy it manually.
On
YouTube:
- On the YouTube live dashboard, scroll to the bottom.
- Under the Encoder Setup, click Reveal next to stream name/key.
- Copy the string of digits that appears.
Now that you have your stream key, it’s time
to paste it into your streaming software. Follow the steps below for each
streaming software:
For OBS
Studio or OBS Streamlabs:
- Open the settings menu.
- Click on the Stream option.
- In this tab, paste your key in the Stream key section.
- Make sure to choose the right platform under Service.
For
NVIDIA Shadowplay:
- Go to GeForce Experience
- Click the settings button.
- Click Settings under In-game overlay.
- Click Connect and choose the platform you’d like to stream to.
Now that you’ve followed the steps above,
you’ll be ready to go live.
Step 5: Going Live
You are now ready to go live. Clicking the Stream button in OBS Studio, OBS Streamlabs, or NVIDIA Shadowplay will automatically start your stream. You can then view your dashboard on your streaming platform to monitor your stream and your performance.
Make sure you press Stop Stream or end stream in the streaming software once you’ve finished streaming.
