Why is my live stream picture blurry or unclear?

Category: Image

When your stream appears soft, pixelated, or lacking detail, this requires systematic troubleshooting across your entire video chain from camera to final output.

1. Conduct multi-device monitoring test

• Check stream quality on different devices during live broadcast
• Test across various network connections if possible
• Determine if the issue is consistent across all viewing scenarios

2. Check physical connections and camera settings

2.1 Verify all cable connections
• Ensure data cables are securely connected at both ends
• Disconnect and reconnect all video cables to eliminate connection issues
• Check for damaged or bent connectors affecting signal quality

2.2 Confirm camera resolution settings
• Verify native camera software is set to maximum resolution
• Ensure output format matches your streaming requirements
• Check that no unnecessary digital processing is degrading image

3. Configure Live Studio camera source

• Confirm camera source in Live Studio is set to correct resolution
• Default recommendation: 1080p for most streaming scenarios
4K resolution only recommended with exceptional internet connectivity
• Ensure frame rate settings match your camera's output capability
