BoxCast supports high frame rate (60fps) streaming when enabled on your account. If it is not enabled for your account, reach out to our client managers at CM@boxcast.com to learn how to make it active.
High frame rate streaming requires a high powered device, such as the BoxCaster Pro, with increased CPU performance and higher bitrates. Attempting to stream at 60fps from an underpowered device is likely to result in a poor quality stream.
