    I always thought low latency which is optimised for viewer interaction would be the best option when streaming to YouTube Gaming. However, this comes at a cost of buffering more.

    What option, when you create your event on Live Streams, do you go for? Does the less buffering help pull more viewers in / retain viewers?

    Well depends what game you play , if Heathstone or any borad game you get away with social interactions but if you playing fps shooters and you wanna crack down the fps to least 30 as it will be a buffing nightmare :D

    Thanks both for the advice. I probably could have done this earlier and got more in viewers staying and subbing etc. using the Less Buffering option. Will plan to use this in future then. Was given advice by one person to use Less Latency when I started.
