Hello @Scott Hooten

Wowza should be able to handle bitrates listed in the encoding best practices cheat sheet:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-encode-source-video-for-wowza-streaming-cloud#samples](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-encode-source-video-for-wowza-streaming-cloud#samples)

In the cheat sheet it does not have a 160p, although 300 Kbps should produce an acceptable stream.

This will also come down to your available network bandwidth on how much bits you can send from a broadcaster.

I would also recommend reviewing our networking tips in our sizing your hardware article:
