Thanks for opening my thread,

I am trying to stream footage to Twitch on my Xbox and I have my cords inputed and outputed properly, but my quality is SO BAD on Twitch. (Think of the worse quality YouTube video you can think of; maybe from 2009) Anyways, When I look at the preview screen in the Elgato Capture software, it is pretty laggy and when I stream, the quality of the "Preview Screen" is now shot to hell. I view my stream on the Twitch app on my phone and the quality is awful. I have put my settings down to "Best Performance" instead of"Highest Quality" and it still is laggy. I lowered my bitrate, and the video and audio still laggy. I was told streaming and video capturing was not based on your down and up speed...is this true? Also, the resolution when my video is streamed to twitch converts itself to the black bars on the side which is unacceptable, lol. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. THANKS.
