Leigh Thomas Brown tests StreamYard and hits severe lag streaming in 4K. He figures out the fix: broadcast at 1080p, record locally in 4K instead. Other podcasters do this all the time.

Oh, now it says you are live. Okay, so this, my friends, is testing part 3, and there is definitely a lag on my end. Okay, so I'm curious if you happen to stumble upon my live feed, if you are seeing my mouth match my face as we test out StreamYard again with different equipment in a different location with my new tech guru who's getting married at the end of June. You should make a comment right now if you think he and his fiancée should let me officiate their wedding, because we'd have the best time ever. They were going to get married at the courthouse. Why would anybody do that when you could let Leigh Thomas Brown officiate your wedding for free? Just because I really love it. And let's see, they're over there discussing across the room what's happening. I am seeing a massive lag on the screen as I'm staring at it. Do you see the lag over there? Because I see it on my screen. Yes, it's lagging, so it might be the 4K. It's definitely the 4K is the problem. So we can record in 4K, but it's going to stream with a major lag. But does it sound okay? Does it look normal once it gets over there? I feel like I'm in Willy Wonka where they break up that kid into a million tiny little pieces descending to the TV. And then he comes back together really small. I don't even remember which kid that was in Willy Wonka that wanted to be TV. And I remember there was, let's see, the, the blueberry kid, Veruca Salt. Let's see. Oh, what's up, David? You still hanging out on YouTube? You need to get a hobby or something. Just kidding, go sell a house. Um, let's see. 4K is worse. So much worse. Are you noticing it? You're seeing the lag too? Yeah, David's— oh, he didn't say tag, he said lag. I should look through my reading glasses instead of over them. All right, let's see. All right, this is worse. I think we got to go back to the 1080 if we're going to livestream, and then we can record 4K locally. I mean, other people get normal podcasts in this. Okay, we said end this. Okay. Okay.
