# Streaming Settings

> Here’s how to customise your stream settings in BeamXR Live — from titles and quality to categories and platform choice.

## Game Category

You can choose a game category so your stream is properly attributed on Twitch or YouTube.

* We currently use **IGDB** to list VR game titles.
* If a game is missing, let us know on [Discord](https://discord.gg/beamxr).

<Info>
  You can also **submit new games to IGDB** by following their guide: [How to contribute to IGDB](https://github.com/twitchtv/igdb-contribution-guidelines/wiki/How-IGDB-works)
</Info>

We're also working on adding **non-game categories** like *Just Chatting* soon.

***

## Stream Title

* You can set your stream title to anything you like.
* Currently, we **automatically add "BeamXR Live"** to the title and include a watermark.
* A **Pro tier** will soon allow you to **remove branding** and unlock advanced customisation.

We're also working on **more YouTube-specific controls** like thumbnails and privacy settings.

Track the feature’s progress [in our Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1224665935001157643/1399397642265428008)

## Stream Quality

<Info>
  If you’re having performance issues, try switching to 720p.
</Info>

You can choose between:

* **720p (HD)** – Recommended for **Quest 2** or more demanding games.
* **1080p (Full HD)** – For higher-end headsets and stronger bandwidth.

<Warning>
  If you’ve enabled **Seamless Multitasking** (in Experimental Features on your Quest), this may affect performance. Try disabling it if streaming becomes unstable.
</Warning>

***

## Platform Selection

Choose whether to stream to **Twitch** or **YouTube**.

More platforms and **custom RTMP support** are on the way — stay tuned!

***

## Saving Your Defaults

To save your go-to streaming settings:

1. Tap the **cog icon** in the BeamXR Live navigation menu
2. Adjust your preferences
3. They’ll be saved for future streams automatically
