      Stream settings: To stream on Noice, first, choose the Stream Type by clicking on the Stream tab. Under Service, select "Custom Streaming Server" from the dropdown menu.

More info where to find it you can find in the article - How to use Noice Studio.

      

   7. Output settings: For smooth stream experience, please make sure your settings match those in the screenshot below.

      

      • For Nvidia NVENC or AMD encoders, set "Max B-frames" to 0.
      • For the x264 encoder, under Advanced Output Mode, add "bframes=0" in the "x264 Options."

Max B-frames

• Max B-frames in OBS Streamlabs control the use of bidirectional frames, which improve video quality at lower bitrates but will add latency. Setting it to 0 disables B-frames, reducing delay but requiring more bitrate for similar quality.
• To disable B-frames in OBS Streamlabs, go to Settings > Output > Streaming > Scroll to the bottom.

  1. • For Nvidia NVENC or AMD encoders, set "Max B-frames" to 0.

     • For the x264 encoder, under Advanced Output Mode, add "bframes=0" in the "x264 Options."
       

  2. Video Settings: The video resolution you choose significantly affects your live stream quality and Streamlabs Desktop performance. We recommend using your monitor's native Custom Base resolution (in this case - 2560x1440) and setting the Output (Scaled) Resolution to 1920x1080. Lastly, set the Common FPS Values to 60 for optimal results.

  3. Audio Settings: Noice only supports a 48kHz audio sample rate. Using other rates can lead to issues like high-pitched voices or audio interruptions. To avoid these problems, ensure your audio is set to 48kHz.
     For more detailed information regarding the audio settings, check - Audio Set Up.

Step 4: Restreaming with Streamlabs

Currently, the best and most affordable solution for streaming simultaneously to Noice and other platforms is to purchase Streamlabs Ultra.

By clicking "Get Ultra" you will be brought to Streamlabs Ultra page where you can enter your payment details and proceed with the purchase - it is intuitive and a standart procedure.

After the purchase is completed, proceed with setting up the restreaming configuration.
Ensure you are logged in. This applies to Streamlabs accounts or any other platforms you are using to sign up/log in (linked accounts).
Navigate to Stream Settings and click on the Settings icon (gear) in the lower-left corner of Streamlabs.

In the Settings menu, select Stream from the left-hand sidebar.
Scroll down until you see "Add Destination" at the bottom of the listed platforms.

You will now see fields to enter, Name of the destination, the Noice RTMP URL and Stream Key
- In the Name field enter - Noice
- Enter the Noice RTMP in the URL field - rtmp://rtmp-premium.gcp.prd.noice.com/live/
- In the Stream Key field, enter unique Stream Key of the creator from Noice Studio.

Double-check that the RTMP URL and Stream Key are correct, and click "Save", then "Done".

Step 5: Start streaming

Once the custom destination (Noice) is set up, you can start streaming.

Click on the "Go Live button" in Streamlabs to start the stream.

Monitor the stream to ensure you are live on both platforms and that everything is functioning properly.
