What do the numbers mean the bot is telling me in chat? (RTT, Bitrate)

The bot gives you two numbers: the bitrate and the ‘RTT’. The bitrate is how much data is being pushed to our servers from your mobile phone and simply put: the higher, the better. Twitch allows an official max of 6000kbps, which is high quality.

In the above example you see your stream camera is sending 4384 kilobits of video data per second and that data takes 35 ms to reach our ingests via your mobile network. The higher the bandwidth, the better your video quality. The lower the RTT number, the less lag you will have between your mobile camera and our servers.

So easy put:

• Left number high, right number low = good.
• Left number low, right number high = bad.

What should you do if you your RTT is bad?

Move to a different location! If you’re inside, go outside. If you’re under a tree, move to a more open space. If you’re standing in between highrise buildings, move to a street with lower buildings.
