To start, open up your account settings by clicking on the "Steam" option in the menu, and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
Now that you're set up to broadcast, it's time to configure the stream settings that fit your PC's power and broadband speeds best. To adjust the video resolution of your stream, select the drop-down menu for "Video Dimensions".
Of course, streaming isn't all that exciting if we can't hear the user on the other end of the game. To configure your microphone's settings for a broadcast, start by checking off the box to "Record my microphone".
Next, click on the "Configure Microphone" link next to that box. This will take you to the "Voice" tab in Settings.
Configuring your microphone in Steam is the same process as configuring it in Windows proper. To start, click on the "Change Device" button, which will take you to the Audio Control panel found in your current build of Windows.
If your microphone is properly installed, it will appear in the list of available sound devices.
Click on the microphone you want to use, and choose "OK, I'm finished changing settings" once your done.

To watch a friend's broadcast, simply find their name in your friends list, and right click their name. If they have broadcasting enabled, the "Watch Game" option will appear from the drop-down menu. Click this, and you'll be taken to their stream inside the Steam client.
To view other people's public broadcasts who aren't on your friends list, there are two options available.
The most convenient method is to view the stream in the Steam client itself. Open Steam, and click on the "Community" button from the menu at the top of the window.
Select "Broadcasts" from the drop-down menu, and any open streams that are broadcasting will load in a scrollable list.
If you're not at home or don't have access to your Steam client, Valve also hosts broadcasts on the Steam Community website. To access public broadcasts, click the link here or visit the URL "http://steamcommunity.com/?subsection=broadcasts" in a web browser.
Once the broadcast is loaded, you can change the quality of the stream by clicking the gear icon in the bottom-right corner, and chat with the broadcaster by typing in the highlighted chat window.
Unfortunately, Steam has yet to add support for users running the client in Linux or OSX, though the company says it has plans to integrate compatibility with these operating systems in the near future. Also, broadcasting games only works on Steam accounts that have at least one verified purchase ($5 or more) tied to their username. This verifies you as a "non-limited" account, a tool that Valve uses to cut down on community abuse.
Lastly, unlike Twitch.tv, there are no options to add custom overlays to your stream. Steam is only capable of recording the game and any windows/applications you have running alongside the game. To stream with overlays or with your webcam placed somewhere on the window, you'd be better off streaming with a program like XSplit to Twitch instead.

Aug 1, 2021 · Xjph Aug 1, 2021 @ 6:14am. HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, aka H.265) is a newer video compression that you can use for the stream instead of the default AVC (Advanced Video Coding. aka H.264). HEVC will generally give you better quality at low bitrates compared to AVC, but is typically a bit more work to encode, and not as well supported.
