	'''Note''': Unless you are a Twitch partner or having ensured quality options, especially in restreamed races it can be detrimental to stream at resolutions and bitrates that will cause lags on your end or for volunteers. We recommend a resolution of 720p (1280x720), and a framerate of 30 frames per second. If you want to go higher, please do not exceed a bitrate of 3500 kbps. For a normal stream of 720p30, 2400 kbps is more than enough for streaming OoTR.
