Stream to your Twitch channel page

Webcaster X2 streams 1280×720p at 30 fps with a bit rate of 2 Mbps to Twitch by default. From the Preferences you can change Webcaster X2 to stream at a higher resolution (for example, 1920×1080p at 30 fps) or a lower one. You can also select a different bit rate if you want. However, live streaming at a higher resolution and bit rate requires more upload bandwidth. To change the default settings on Webcaster X2, use a connected HDMI monitor and mouse.

Webcaster X2 supports HDMI input signals of 720p (1280×720) and 1080p (1920×1080), progressive signals only. Interlaced signals (e.g. 720i and 1080i) are not supported. If your camera isn’t supported (or is experiencing another signal issue), the front screen and attached display show a message that says HDMI IN No Signal. Audio is supported over HDMI at 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. Or using the (beta) USB camera feature, you can use the audio from a connected USB webcam or a plug-and-play USB microphone that is a UAC device.

If you're using the optional USB webcam (Beta) feature, choose a webcam that outputs 1280×720p at 30 fps. For more information, see Connect a USB camera or USB audio device.
