Broadcasting lags my entire PC

[Spookypizza]

Any time my friend watches me play a game the moment he starts watching my PC just starts lagging up, like really bad, all of my applications get really laggy (For example it takes 20 seconds to copy a file in File Explorer when this happens). I checked in task manager to see if my cpu or memory was really high but they were at normal levels for my PC. I have all of my broadcasting settings set for the best quality. Also i tried to see if lowering down the quality of my broadcast settings would stop this issue, but when i did, my friend watching my broadcast just sees THIS.
He said it wasn't a still image, but rather moved whenever i moved in the game. I really have no idea how to fix this. Please help.

Recording video pretty much doubles both the amount of processing (just capturing the image) and networking(sending it to viewer A, then to viewer B, etc but probably only sending it once and then steam sends it to all the vewers).
Anyway, you probably need a beefier CPU, one that can handle multiple processes better. Depending on the game a faster video card might help, but only a little.
You should also read your internet bill to confirm the speed you are BUYING, and then confirm it through a network speed test(such as speedtest.net). I found out my old router was capping me at 40MB even after the cable company set my service to 300MB(And my coax connectors in the walls had all kinds of wall noise that was corrected but I never noticed until after they cleaned it up).

What your system specs? Cpu, GPU, and ram amount.

What were you using to stream?

Has issue started happening when update GPU driver by chance?

Are using wifi, or wired for internet connection to your modem?

Are you using router that connected to modem?

Do you have good stable internet connection?

Do you use HDD, or SSD for your OS, and record on?

Have you tried any other software for recording to see if there any problem?

Do you have hardware accelerate enable in your steam settings?
