Have a look at our insider tips and best practices in order to have the best experience possible while using EBS to stream to an Evercast room.
For the best experience, use an ethernet connection (not Wi-Fi), especially when streaming. If you must use Wi-Fi, use your 5G network if you're close to your router and your 2.4G network if you’re farther away.
If you must run both EBS and Evercast for Chrome on the same device, use incognito mode on your browser to disable the plugins and limit CPU usage.
Try adjusting the FPS, stream bitrate, and resolution inside EBS.
Close any excess apps you have running on your device.
Close any additional tabs you have open on your web browser.
Turn off Google Chrome extensions by clicking the puzzle piece icon in the top right corner of the Chrome browser window (this will open a new Chrome window where you can turn off any active extensions).
Hide the participant thumbnails in the Evercast room by clicking the Hide Thumbnails button on your toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Within the Evercast room on your browser, find the EBS thumbnail and click on the video camera icon inside it to disable the feed from your view. This will not affect the participants' view of the feed.
