Stay: how to improve the broadcast quality in the gaming platform in the streaming of Google

Since last week no longer need an invitation or to purchase your pack for you to test Stay. Google already has open the records to the free version of Stay Base, giving away two months of the subscription Stay Pro to all the users to try without cost the version of payment of your gaming platform in streaming.

In the announcement of the opening Stay to all over the world, Google reported that during these days I was working on a time function that changes the screen resolution default of 4k to 1080p, but the user may set you back the highest quality. So we took the opportunity to tell you how to configure the quality of Stay: their resolution of issue and HDR.

Set the maximum resolution

To set the resolution of issuance of Stay you have to use your mobile app. Click on our avatar and the menu we select the option Use of data and performance. This option allows us to select the maximum resolution of issue:

Visual quality optimal: Resolution of up to 4K, HDR and 5.1 sound. Use of data up to 20 GB/hour. Only in Stay Pro
Experience balanced: Resolution of up to 1080p and stereo sound. Use of data up to 12.6 GB/hour.
Use of limited data: Resolution of up to 720 and stereo sound. Use of data to 4.5 GB/hour.

Configure the HDR

The configuration of the HDR it is within the section Screen. By default the option high dynamic range comes on, but if we’re not going to play from any screen-compatible with HDR it is advisable to have it disabled.

How to improve the connection

To enjoy the best experience in Stay it is best to connect directly to our computer, laptop, or Chromecast Ultra directly to the Ethernet cable connection. In case you have to play through a wireless connection is better than connection via a WiFi 5 GHz.

The fiber connection that we have has to be 35 Mbps or higher to be able to play at 4K. The minimum connection that you agree to Stay to play at the minimum resolution is 10 Mbps.

If once you have configured all the best possible Stay we see that it ends up working perfect we can try to improve the connection by lowering the maximum resolution and turning off the HDR. Stay automatically selects the best resolution depending on our connection and screen that we’re going to play, but if our team does not end ir emission fluid and without lag in the response of the games we have to do this configuration manually.
