    Default I just wanna broadcast on Streamate! Is that too much to ask?

    Hey all! So for the past three or four days I have been trying to stream on SM, only to experience an onslaught of technical issues that seem to be on my end (unless SM is just a giant permaglitch now). I really would like to work on SM as opposed to other sites so I'm trying to work this out. Wondering if anyone can give me any insight! (Sorry in advance for the long-ish post, I am frustrated and over-caffeinated).

    I'll start off by saying I just tested my internet on testmy.net and got a download speed of 26.2 and an upload speed of 25.2. My computer is a Lenovo X220.

    So, first off I tried with SM Broadcaster, before I realized I could check my own stream. I got my friend to check it since I was making $0, she checked in and called it "literally unwatchable."

    Then I tried downloading the Adobe encoder, which I haven't played around with much because when I contacted SM they told me to download the OBS encoder - so I tried with some of the preset settings, and experienced a visual lag, an audio lag that didn't match up with my mouth, and also terrible white noise. The white noise I suspect could be my webcam, a Logitech c525 that I've had for a while.

    So I moved on to OBS studio, which gave me issues, and then to OBS classic. It gives me the same issues, plus any sound I make will be repeated continuously. So for example, if I say the word "test," what I will hear is "test.......test......test......test....test.. .." with a bunch of weird glitchy sounds. If you've ever wanted to see a camgirl themed horror movie, you should tune in. It's creepy af. I went through all the advice in the OBS thread, and the most I could fix was the audio lag, so the words actually fit my mouth. But they would still repeat.

    Just tested SM Broadcaster right now again, and it's the same thing.

    So I guess I'm asking, has anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it? Is my best option just to cam with one of the non encoder options and accept that I won't recieve top placement until something changes? Do I perhaps need a new laptop? Is there a very clear solution that I'm simply blind to? Let me know your experiences!

    And one last question - if I were to leave SM, what sites would you reccomend for a not bbw but very curvy girl? I never see girls my size on the front of Chaturbate or MFC, but frequently see them on SM at the top, which is why I've been toughing it out.

    Without knowing the exact model of Lenovo X220 its gonna be difficult to diagnose your issue. That sounds like a really old model. At those upload speeds you should be able to stream at 1280x720 with zero problems. Unless your computer isn't strong enough. Post your system specs and what operating system is it? Is it Win7,8,8.1 or 10?

    You need a better computer. Plain and simple. 4GB is not enough. You need a minimum of 8gb. This is an old laptop and they aren't easy to update. I would suggest getting a bare bones desktop when you next go shopping. Desktops are easier to expand. Its still possible to stream with windows7 if you have the right components. Being able to live stream on a computer with additional programs (encoders) takes a lot of power. The fact that none of the encoders are working for you with those internet speeds tells me its the computer.

    Thank you so so so so so much! I would not have figured that out on my own, and probably would have tried again tomorrow. You just saved me a lot of stress!

    You may be able to work without an encoder for now until you can buy a new computer. But your chatroom will be very quiet. If you're in a lot of categories then it may not effect you too much. Do what you gotta do.

    You should also up date to the logitech 920. Its the one that will give you the most flexibility on SM. If your on a desktop you could install more ram until you can replace the computer.

    Thank you! I'm on a laptop, unfortunately, but I think I'll get an all-in-one around the $500 mark for now, I was looking at some online and they seem to have double the RAM that my computer has now.

    When you test your own feed it has to be from a device that you can use earphones otherwise your microphone and speakers will repeat the sound over and over.

    That's why you are getting the echo and makes it difficult to know what you are really getting in your feed.

    Laptops can upgrade the RAM. you just have to flip them over and take them out with no power, and no battery. But with how old your machine is .its only good for checking your feed when you are online, with earphones.

    Now it's safe to say to save $100 a month towards a new computer. Because of how fast things are changing and your computer needs to be flexible for upgrade or your budget is flexible enough to buy a new machine.
