If you want to test your Twitch stream without actually going live, you don’t need a second account and you don’t need to spam your followers with test stream notifications!

Twitch already supports private bandwidth testing, it’s just a little hidden.

In this step-by-step 2026 guide, I’ll show you exactly how to test your Twitch stream in OBS using Twitch’s built-in bandwidth test feature, how to use Twitch Inspector to check stream health, and how to make sure your bitrate, audio and scenes are working before you go live publicly.

This method:
• Sends your stream to Twitch’s ingest servers
• Does NOT notify followers
• Does NOT create a VOD
• Lets you fully simulate a real stream
• Helps prevent dropped frames and bitrate issues

If you stream on Twitch using OBS Studio (or any streaming software), this is the safest way to test your stream properly.
