Configuring Your Livestream Settings
Select the project and event you want to stream to. You can also create a new event.
Select the screen you want to capture. You can choose to stream your entire screen or a specific application. If you want to capture a specific application (like the game you are testing!) make sure to launch it first.

Managing Advanced Settings
Clicking Advanced settings will open the Livestreaming Advanced Settings dialog. There you can set the following advanced options:
Video Options
Latency Mode - Select either Low Latency or Ultra-low Latency (ULL). With less than 1 second of latency, ULL is optimal for situations where are you communicating in real-time with viewers. Low latency mode can result in latency of 4 to 8 seconds, but provides a higher level of quality. For more information see Ultra-low Latency Streaming
Quality - Select the bitrate of your video stream. Higher bitrates provide higher quality, but will use more of your Internet bandwidth.
Audio Options
Quality - Select the bitrate of your audio stream. Higher bitrates provide higher quality, but will use more of your Internet bandwidth.
Balance - Determine the audio volume balance when captured system or application audio is combined with microphone input.
Voice Processing
Noise Suppression - Automatically isolates and removes background noise.
Automatic Gain Control - Ensures your voice remains consistent and clear.
Component Options
Show cursor - Determines if the mouse cursor should be show or hidden in the stream.
Others
Separate camera and microphone recording - Stream microphone and camera as a separate stream. For more information Livestreaming Mic and Camera Separately.
Recording buffer - When the recording buffer is enabled, you can use Slice creation hotkeys to automatically capture video clips of what has just occurred. For more information, see Creating Slices with the Live Aware Desktop Recorder.
