# Recommended Streaming Settings
***
CIME offers three streaming modes, each designed for different quality and performance needs.
| **Standard Stream (1080p)** | Our recommended mode for reliability and compatibility. Streams at 1080p60 with approximately 2 seconds of low-latency playback. |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Premium Stream (1080p Premium)** | Delivers enhanced video and audio quality with a higher bitrate. Supports 1080p60, 8,500 kbps video bitrate, AAC 320 kbps audio, and low-latency playback of approximately 1 second. |
| **4K Stream (2160p)** | Premium 4K streaming with 2160p60 resolution, 25,000–35,000 kbps video bitrate, AAC 320 kbps audio, and approximately 4 seconds of latency. Access is gradually being expanded to Partner Streamers and highly active creators. |
We recommend testing your network connection and PC performance before choosing a streaming mode.
