How to use the Stream Health Monitor to improve your Stream Quality
Before going live, you can see the stream health status. Based on color, we recommend the following:
- GREEN you're ready to stream and your quality should be great
- YELLOW you can go ahead and stream, but your stream quality may be compromised
- RED you should not stream until you've reviewed the next section, or contacted Stage TEN Support at support.stageten.tv
Improving Frame Rate
1. Open Stage TEN is a separate browser window and ensure it is always at least partially visible on the screen. If another browser tab or application fully covers Stage TEN, the frame rate may drop significantly.
2. Close all other non-essential applications.
