Which OBS settings should I use for yastream.com?
Canonical short answer for low-latency OBS settings with yastream.com.
Short answer
- Start with H.264 video, CBR rate control, B-frames set to 0, a 1 second keyframe interval, and Opus audio for WHIP/WHEP playback.
- Keep bitrate below the selected yastream plan limit and leave enough upload headroom for the connection to stay stable.
Recommended baseline
- Video encoder: H.264 or x264 unless a production has a specific reason to use something else.
- Rate control: CBR.
- B-frames: 0.
- Keyframe interval: 1 second.
- Audio: Opus for WHIP/WHEP playback.
- Frame rate: start with 25 or 30 fps and raise it later only after the stream is stable.
Latency wording
- yastream targets low-latency browser playback.
- Down to 0.5 seconds glass-to-glass can be possible under ideal conditions, and around 1 second is the normal target in real productions.
- Do not describe 0.5 seconds as guaranteed; actual latency depends on encoder settings, network route, browser, device, and stream configuration.
