Press your profile picture at the top right of the screen
Press the ⚙ next to your name
Press "Bitrate"
Choose a bitrate suitable for your network
💡 Low Bitrates will use less data/Wi-Fi but the stream quality will be lower when compared to a higher bitrate.

💡 Higher resolutions will require a higher bitrate to ensure your stream does not look pixelated.
How can I stream Mobile Games using the PRISM App?
To stream your mobile games, you must select "Screen" before going live. This will capture your entire phone screen which is then live streamed to your Kick channel.
Once your stream has started, open you game.
