run a stream test

Step {{count}}

Get your stream key from your Twitch Dashboard.

Step {{count}}

In the encoder (like OBS), in the text area where the streamkey goes, type "?bandwidthtest=true" after the stream key
live_0000000_xxxxxxxxxxxx?bandwidthtest=true

Step {{count}}

Start Broadcasting. Using the "bandwidthtest" flag allows you to broadcast without appearing online to viewers or sending notifications. This helps test new settings or stability before a broadcast.
