Samples of stream settings

When choosing your stream settings it is important to consider the stream content. When streaming fast moving video, it's best to choose a higher bitrate and frame rate whereas if you're streaming a slide presentation you can save on bandwidth and system processing by lowering the bitrate and frame rate. Stream setup is a matter of balancing quality and system resource usage.

To help you to achieve this balance, the following tables list the recommended settings when streaming video and slide content from a PC, Mac or tablet.
