At 4 Mbps for three hours, that is about 5.4 GB. Actual use depends mainly on the stream’s average bitrate and how long you broadcast.
Estimate data use from bitrate and hours
One megabit per second sustained for an hour transfers about 450 decimal megabytes, which is 0.45 decimal GB. Multiply that hourly estimate by your streaming hours. The formula estimates outgoing stream data; it is not a measurement of an Indian carrier’s billing or a guarantee of the amount deducted from your plan.

For example, at a sustained 4 Mbps, a one-hour stream is about 1.8 GB and a three-hour stream about 5.4 GB, before unquantified overhead. Use your actual daily streaming duration rather than assuming a full day.

Estimated use at PRISM’s suggested bitrates
PRISM’s FAQ suggests the following bitrate ranges by resolution. These estimates assume the selected rate is sustained for the entire session and use decimal GB for easier comparison with data plans.
#1 Best Overall
- Compatible with Nintendo Switch 2’s new GameChat mode
- Auto-Light Balance: RightLight boosts brightness by up to 50%, reducing shadows so you look your best—compared to previous-generation Logitech webcams (1)
- Privacy with a Slide: The integrated webcam cover makes it easy to get total, reliable privacy when you're not on a video call
- Built-In Mic: The built-in microphone lets others hear you clearly during video calls
- Easy Plug-And-Play: The Brio 101 works with most video calling platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet—no hassle; it just works
| Resolution and suggested bitrate | Approx. GB per hour | Approx. GB for 3 hours | Approx. GB for 24 hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| 360p, 1–2 Mbps | 0.45–0.9 | 1.35–2.7 | 10.8–21.6 |
| 720p, 2–4 Mbps | 0.9–1.8 | 2.7–5.4 | 21.6–43.2 |
| 1080p, 4–6 Mbps | 1.8–2.7 | 5.4–8.1 | 43.2–64.8 |
The 24-hour figures illustrate continuous streaming; they are not a claim about typical daily use. Your phone’s display and carrier may use different data-unit conventions.
Why your actual daily total may differ
Bitrate and settings
Bitrate is the amount of data sent each second, so it is the main input in the estimate. PRISM recommends 4,000 kbps for 720p and 6,000 kbps for 1080p when seeking its highest-quality setting. Those are recommendations, not mandatory rates. The FAQ gives ranges rather than one exact rate for each resolution, and frame rate and other selected settings also affect the stream. PRISM recommends 30 fps for normal live broadcasting. See PRISM’s streaming recommendations and its FAQ.

(Tips: Incompatible with Windows Hello)
Adaptive bitrate and network conditions
PRISM’s Adaptive Bitrate Publish changes quality in response to network conditions. If it lowers the stream rate, multiplying the maximum or selected bitrate by the full session length can overestimate data use. Use the session’s average bitrate if you can see it. PRISM also advises having more network bandwidth available than the stream requires; when bandwidth is insufficient, adaptive bitrate can reduce video quality. Details are in PRISM’s recommendations, Adaptive Bitrate Publish guide, and network stability guide.

The estimates describe stream bitrate translated into data, not a carrier-specific deduction. No India-specific carrier measurement or current plan comparison is established here. Before relying on a plan for regular streams, check its current allowance and compare it with your phone’s data-usage reading and the carrier’s own usage report. Those readings may not match the decimal-GB calculation exactly.
