my goal on this channel is to make people better live streamers and maybe entertain a little bit in the process so take a moment and leave me a comment down below and let me know how i'm doing and while you're there leave a thumbs up this really does help youtube share this video with a wider audience and if you're not subscribed please do this goes a long way towards helping me to continue to make content that helps you and it's totally free so thanks so let's define lag what is it well i can tell you what it isn't first lag is not the delay between what you say in your studio and what you see on youtube twitch or facebook that's definitely not lag that is called latency and while companies are working on shortening it it's never going to go away in fact latency could swing wildly from one person to the other watching your stream due to all sorts of factors that you just can't control and you see the effect of latency even on broadcast tv these days especially if you watch sports you see them talking to analysts in their own home studio and the conversation seems disjointed and that's because the host is going to ask a question and there's a pause until the analyst starts to talk and that's the latency in between the host and the analyst if espn and the nfl network can't solve the latency issue you're not gonna be able to do it on your home studio you need to accept latency as a feature not a bug and learn how to function with it it isn't going away anytime soon lag on the other hand can be fixed lag is when your video or audio don't sync up properly or your video gets choppy or delayed from the video or gameplay these are all issues that can be resolved on your computer so let's walk through them and how to resolve the lag on your machine you're gonna notice lag mostly from the assets that are in there causing some serious problems with your cpu usage and that sort of stuff so if we go up into view and we go to stats here is where we're gonna notice lag now you can see my cpu is using NUMBER_TOKEN just to run this right here and anything else that might be running in the background uh so if we go down here you can see i have some windows open those are also running um and they take up cp usage in the background as well then you've got your frames per second so for running at NUMBER_TOKEN frames per second and this is how long it takes to do each frame and this is the number of frames that we're dropping so if any of this is red that is what's causing your computer to have sync issues and things that cause the lag that you're talking about so what are some things that we can do to fix that problem we'll go into setup and if we go into our video you want to definitely make sure that your base canvas resolution and your output scale resolution are the same and if you're running into problems the easiest way to fix it is to lower your frame rate so if you're trying to stream games at NUMBER_TOKEN frames per second and you're noticing that your game is lagging behind the audio or anything like that you can fix those problems by dropping to NUMBER_TOKEN frames per second is your stream gonna look as crisp as
