# Bitrate

{% hint style="success" %}
Xeenon supports up to 8000kbps bitrate
{% endhint %}

* Bitrate is the number of bits that you're able to process in a given unit of time. It is measured in kilobits per second (Kbps). A higher bitrate allows for a better quality stream, but also requires more bandwidth.
* *Low Quality (480p):* For a standard definition stream, a bitrate range of 800 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps is typically sufficient.
* *Medium Quality (720p):* For high-definition, the bitrate should ideally be between 1.5 to 3 Mbps.
* *High Quality (1080p):* For full HD, aim for a bitrate in the range of 3.5 Mbps to 5 Mbps.
* *Ultra-High Quality (4K):* 4K support is experimental and will require a bitrate of up to 8 Mbps.
* Remember, the bitrate you choose should depend on your bandwidth availability. Always set your bitrate as a factor of not only the resolution but also of your internet upload speed.
  * A good rule of thumb is to not exceed a bitrate that is 25% of your max internet upload speed. This will protect against any temporary intermittence and keep your stream as smooth as possible for the audience.
  * For example, if your max upload speed is 20 mbps, it is best to not exceed 5000kbps (5mbps) bitrate. 
    * *A wired connection is recommended, but not necessary when live streaming. Sticking to the recommendation above should allow you to live stream via WiFi, unless your upload speeds are inconsistent.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xeenon.xyz/streaming/studio-set-up/recommended-output-settings/bitrate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
