Make sure to check your CPU usage after your begin streaming. Your CPU usage should NOT exceed 80%

or your video quality will suffer. If your CPU is over 80%, lower your video Bit Rate value in the encoder

until you see the CPU below 80%.

To check your CPU usage on Microsoft Windows, hold the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys simultaneously, when

the "task manager" appears, select the performance tab.

To check your CPU usage on Mac OS, open Utilities and click the Activity Monitor. Your CPU usage will

be the total of User and System.
