    Nah, but I read about that happening. What I mean is the chat from my past live streams still carries over to the next live stream. (or so it seems)

    From what I have seen and read you need at least 3mps up just to have 420p or close to 720p. My internet speed is 15 down and 1up on a good day, lol!

    No worries tho. I am moving some time next year to a bigger town with faster internet and I plan on getting a business account so my service is dedicated and 1080p or better... (I hope).

    I may need some help. My stream is 360p. Is there anyway I can get it to even 480p?

    Do you know how to find out you internet speed? If not go to http://speedtest.net and see what you got.

    What program are you using to stream with?

    Also you need at least 3mps up on your internet connection to get 480p or close to 720p from what I have found.

    In some ways i think it will help with the grow of your channel as you stream and upload from one account wich grabs the attention from a wider audience. Here in The Netherlands we don't have the option yet so i haven't tried it yet so till that time i stream trough Twitch.

    YouTube gaming is a lot more better in terms of streaming livestream, but I do not really like watching streams since I am not too attentive.

    Now with Playstation firmare updste 3.0 i got to try it put yesterday and i agree with you that YoutubeGaming is indeed a better way to stream then Twitch. My channel got lots more attention then it got before and it easy as it uploads directly afterwards wich is a huge plus side in my case :)

    It is a very useful update (YouTube Gaming) for streamers. I cannot try to stream since i have a very low upload speed.
