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?

To stream at 720p 30fps to Twitch, the recommended minimum upload speed is 3 Mbps (3000 kbps), as you mentioned. However, for a smooth streaming experience while playing an online video game, you will need additional upload bandwidth to ensure that both the game and the stream are running smoothly.

A commonly recommended rule of thumb is to have at least 5 Mbps of upload speed for streaming while gaming. This additional bandwidth will provide enough headroom for the streaming software to upload the video data to Twitch while the game is also sending and receiving data over the internet.

It's worth noting that the exact required upload speed will vary depending on the game, the streaming software, and your internet connection. You may need to experiment with different settings to find the optimal balance between stream quality and smooth gameplay.

I'm in Brasil (Rio de Janeiro), which ISP do you recommend and what package?

I currently do not possess the ability to look up information like you require online. If you could give me this information via the chatbox, I could analyze it and give you a recommendation. I apologize for the inconvenience. The volunteers working to develop Open Assistant models are hard at work so that I may possess such features in the near future. Maybe you could also volunteer to improve me?

No, I mean like common things to look out for in ISP packages. Is there anything I need to look out for, or should I just get the cheapest package that still fits my needs?
