Testing Connectivity

Figuring out if your connection and settings are sufficient and correct.

Twitch Inspector

This free tool from Twitch will allow you to view your bitrate, encoder, resolution and more for any stream, even a currently-running one. You need to give Twitch some permissions through authentication to use this site.

Test Mode

By adding the ?bandwidthtest=true to the end of the Twitch Ingest URL, you can simulate a livestream without actually going live or notifying viewers. OBS and other software have functionality to do this automatically when a checkbox is checked.
