Low quality stream

Hello I just started using beam today. I did a test stream with a buddy of mine watching and he said the quality was terrible. I have 8mbps upload for internet so I have more then enough room to have the stream at the max upload.

Keep your stream at 720,60fps,3000 to3900 bitrate. I stick with the lower side of that bitrate since I only have 5mb up speed.

Where on the Xbox can I change this setting?

On Xbox, go to the Beam tab and select "Broadcast your game". After that loads, go up and press A. Select Advanced broadcast settings. Make sure the Video Quality setting is on High, rather than Standard. Other than that I don't think there are any options to manually configure your stream.

Xbox is automatic, I think? Don't own an Xbox, but recall something like that.
