7s delay between my OBS Studio and the Twitch Plays stream. How can I reduce this lag?

See my reply in the other thread asking about handwave latency. Short answer is that you can’t really affect it, but (from the VOD), the constant goal is to lower it.

The local buffer size is the largest variable; the less stable the client’s connection to the distribution node, the longer the buffer the player keeps to ensure smooth playback.
