Test without going live

Stream to a viewer tab on your own computer, exactly as Twitch would receive it.

Settings › Stream › Stream to: Test viewer. Then Go live: a viewer tab opens and plays the stream, with the same encoding, size and bitrate Twitch would get. Nothing leaves your computer.

Use it to check your sound levels, how sharp the picture is, and whether your computer keeps up. Switch back to Twitch when you're ready.
