Brief overview

After your Live show has ended, you will be able to load a report from your show highlighting the broadcast's technical performance. We call this the Broadcast Report. We recommend you to always read it once you have performed a test show to verify that the network and broadcast quality is stable enough to broadcast.

  4. A new tab will open with the Broadcast Report

How to read the Broadcast Report

  • Device: Gives you details on the device used to host the live broadcast (both the hardware and software). 
  • Broadcast: Gives you details on the broadcast itself: length of the broadcast, max resolution, orientation. 
  • Video quality: Lets you know how good the video was during the broadcast. 
  • Stream: Explains the conditions for streaming. 
  • Issues: A list of any problems with the stream, such as a bad network connection. 
  • Incoming data rate: Shows how much video and audio data was received from the broadcaster: Reduced data transfer can lead to low video quality. 
  • Received video quality: Gives you an indication of how the video quality was for the viewer. 
  • Server health: Shows you how stable your connection was during the stream. If your network is stable, the resolution axis will be a straight line. The frame rate will fluctuate a bit even on stable networks, but anything over 20 frames per second (fps) is excellent.
