<s>[INST] What is the minimum broadband upload speed to stream at 720p 30fps to twitch while playing an online videogame? Twitch recommends 3000kbps upload speed in my streaming software, but how much extra headroom do I need so the twitch stream and online gameplay are both smooth? [/INST] To stream at 720p 30fps to Twitch while playing an online video game, you'll need a minimum upload speed of 4-6 Mbps. However, to ensure a smooth streaming experience, you may want to aim for a higher upload speed of at least 10 Mbps to allow for extra headroom for your online gameplay.

Twitch's recommended upload speed of 3000 kbps is the minimum requirement for streaming at 720p 30fps. However, this is just a guideline, and you may need a higher bitrate to achieve better quality or compensate for any network congestion or fluctuations.

It's worth noting that other factors can also impact your streaming experience, such as the performance of your computer, the quality of your webcam and microphone, and the stability of your internet connection. To optimize your streaming setup, you may want to consider using a wired internet connection instead of Wi-Fi, closing any unnecessary applications running in the background, and testing your stream with Twitch's recommended bitrate before going live.</s>\ <s>[INST] What PC components play the biggest role in defining the streaming performance of a machine?
