Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator test my upload speed?
No. Run a separate wired upload-speed test and enter the stable result.
Why does the calculator keep upload headroom?
A stream needs spare bandwidth for network variation, audio, chat, and other applications.
Is the result guaranteed?
No. Encoding hardware, game motion, network routing, and platform limits also affect quality.
