What the stream statistics mean

The statistics panel opens from the i button in the stream's control bar. It shows how the stream is doing right now, measured by your browser and by the machine running the app. This page explains every line, in the order the panel shows them, and what a good value looks like.

The machine and the app

LineWhat it means
GPUThe graphics card of the machine running the app.
Streamer LocationThe country that machine is in. Further away usually means a longer response delay.
EngineWhat the app was built with and its version, for example Unreal 5.4.4 or Unity 6000.6.4.
App versionShown instead of Engine for an app streamed as a window (AppStream): the version written in the app's own file, when it has one. Not shown for Omniverse apps.

The picture

LineWhat it meansGood values
Video resolutionThe size of the picture being sent, in pixels.The size the app was set to, for example 1920 x 1080. Smaller than that means the stream lowered it to cope with the connection.
FrameratePictures per second arriving in your browser.30 or more looks smooth; under 24 looks jerky.
Picture compressionHow hard each picture is compressed before it is sent. Lower is sharper. The word after the number says what it means for the codec in use.sharp or good. blocky means too little data for what is on screen. "not reported" means neither the app nor your browser gives this number for this stream.
Video BitrateHow much picture data arrives per second, in kilobits.Depends on what is on screen: a still picture needs little, fast movement needs a lot (several thousand for 1920 x 1080).
Video data receivedAll the picture data your browser has received since the stream started.-

The sound

LineWhat it meansGood values
Audio bitrateHow much sound data arrives per second, in kilobits.Around 30-130 while the app plays sound; close to 0 when it is silent.
Audio data receivedAll the sound data your browser has received since the stream started.-

The connection

LineWhat it meansGood values
Response delayThe time for a signal to go from your browser to the machine running the app and back - what makes controls feel instant or late. (Engineers call this the round-trip time, RTT.)Under 100 ms feels instant; 100-200 ms is noticeable; above 200 ms controls feel delayed.
DurationHow long this stream has been running.-
