Can you stream with 5 Mbps upload?

The minimum upload speed is 3Mbps (3000kbps), which will allow you to stream comfortably at 720p at 30fps . Anything less and your stream will pixelate.

Twitch recommends 3-6 Mbps upload speeds for broadcasting a live stream. For context, the average upload speed in the U.S. is around 52 Mbps, so most people should have plenty of bandwidth for Twitch streams. If you’re simply watching Twitch streams, you’ll only need 4-6 Mbps download speeds.

Video streaming tends to eat up the most bandwidth, so households running simultaneous streams may want to pony up for higher speeds. Netflix recommends a 3 Mbps connection for one standard-quality stream and 5 Mbps for a high-definition stream . Two simultaneous HD quality streams would need around 10 Mbps, and so on.

Yes 4mb is more than enough to stream at 720p you might be able to do 1080p as it requires minimum 4mb upload but you have to have a steady 4mb up or else it will lag for viewers.26 Eyl 2012
