Note: It is possible to create streaming profiles that place very high demands on system
resources, or are impractical for streaming over most networks.

operations. Attention to these considerations when creating custom profiles is vital to
ensure reliable performance, and we encourage you to perform real world testing
beforehand.

button (gear) next to the Stream button on the Live Desktop.
