Quality and delay

Recommended stream settings.

These settings are a practical starting point for low-delay browser playback.

Video encoder: H.264/x264 unless you have a specific reason not to.
Audio codec: Opus when streaming with WHIP and watching with WHEP.
Rate control: CBR.
B-frames: 0.
Keyframe interval: 1 second.
Bitrate: stay under your plan limit and leave room on the upload connection.
Frame rate: start with 25 or 30 fps.
Resolution: keep output resolution inside your plan limit.

Viewers

Share the viewer URL.

Viewers do not need OBS, a yastream account, or special software. They need the viewer URL and a current browser.

Browser playback Current Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox is enough for normal viewing.
Password streams If you enable a stream password, send it separately from the viewer URL.
Latency wording yastream targets low latency. Down to 0.5 seconds is possible under ideal conditions; around 1 second is the normal target in real productions.
Viewer limits Viewer capacity depends on the account plan. Upgrade or book temporary viewer slots when more people need to join.

Troubleshooting

If something feels off.

OBS cannot connect Check stream type, server URL, stream key, Stream ID, or WHIP token.
The viewer link keeps waiting Make sure OBS says it is live, then check that yastream shows a healthy signal.
The stream is rejected Lower bitrate or resolution so it fits your account tier.
There is no WHEP audio Use Opus audio for WHIP/WHEP, or switch to a playback path that supports your source audio.
