Video and Audio Are Out of Sync on YouTube? Here's How to Fix It.

If you're experiencing the frustrating issue of your video and audio being out of sync on YouTube, don't worry - you're not alone. This problem can be caused by various factors, but a common solution is to adjust the latency settings to normal latency. However, please note that if you are currently live streaming, you will need to stop the stream before making this change.

1. Stop Your Live Stream (If Applicable)

If you are currently live streaming on YouTube, you must stop the stream before proceeding with the latency adjustment. This is because changing the latency settings may disrupt the live stream, and it's best to make this change when you're not actively streaming.

2. Navigate to YouTube Live Studio

3. Adjust the Latency Settings

In the Live Control Room, you'll find the "Stream Settings" section.
Look for the "Latency" or "Stream Latency" option. The available options typically include "Normal Latency," "Low latency," and "Ultra low-latency."
Select "Normal Latency." This setting provides a balance between stream delay and synchronization.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of video and audio being out of sync on YouTube.
