Restream delay

Low latency streaming is especially important for certain types of content like sports . Minimizing latency helps relay the content you’re broadcasting to your viewers in more of a “real-time” fashion.

Twitch defaults to using “Low Latency Mode” as the minimal latency between streamer and viewer is a well-liked feature that enables near-real-time communication between streamer and viewer. In some scenarios though, low latency mode can cause stream performance issues.

Low latency means there is a strong, reliable network connection, which reduces the chance for a connection loss or delay . This is critical in gaming where a delayed move can mean instant death. A wired connection is ideal for gaming because it greatly reduces or even eliminates the possibility of lag.
