Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change the bitrate of my livestream?
To change the bitrate of your livestream, go to your account settings in the PRISM app.
Press your profile picture in the top-right corner of the screen.
Press the ⚙ icon next to your name.
Press Bitrate.
Choose a bitrate suitable for your network.
💡 Lower bitrates use less data or Wi-Fi, but the stream quality will be lower compared to a higher bitrate.
How do I change the resolution of my livestream?
To change the resolution of your livestream, go to your account settings in the PRISM app.
Press your profile picture in the top-right corner of the screen.
Press the ⚙ icon next to your name.
Press Resolution.
Choose a suitable resolution up to 1920x1080.
💡 Higher resolutions require a higher bitrate to help prevent your stream from looking pixelated.
How can I stream mobile games using the PRISM app?
To stream mobile games, select Screen before going live. This will capture your entire phone screen and livestream it to your KICK channel.
Once your stream has started, open your game.
Why does my mobile stream keep disconnecting?
If your mobile stream keeps disconnecting, try using a lower bitrate or move your device to a location with a better signal.
