How long does it take before I can see my live stream in archived videos? Hello, I finished streaming about half an hour ago but the video archive is nowhere to be found. I have streamed before and until now they appeared almost instantly. The stream was a bit over 2h long and in 60fps.
There are some YouTubers that I watch that record their live streams and post it to YouTube (Bawkbasoup, Rhadamant, Faide). I also watch YouTubers that create content that is not live streamed (papa meat, farket, stimpee).

• You can suggest that they try viewing or connecting to your stream a different way.

A live stream encoder is the app, program, or tool you can use to capture and compress your live stream. You can use the steps below to troubleshoot some problems that may occur with your encoder.
1. Make sure you're using the latest version of your encoder software. If not, update your encoder to the latest version.
2. Check the look and sound of your stream directly in the encoder.
• If your stream looks or sounds bad: There may be a problem with the quality of your audio and video sources routed to your encoder. You can look for encoder errors on the live dashboard and check the CPU load on your encoder. Or, try to find audio or video problems in your local archive file. If you don’t see any problems, you may want to try streaming using a different encoder.
• If your stream looks and sounds healthy: There may be an issue with your outbound internet connection. Try the next step below.
3. Test the strength of your outbound internet connection.

Think 20mx20m ish, somewhere everyone hangs about, the social hub if you will. This should be fine in order to actually broadcast the livestream. However, a feature we would like to have is a live cam outside of this area, somewhere between 100m - 1km away from this hub (most likely just a static cam, just set and forget).
