@hammerheadkev like how to stream with multiple people? Im using an old ipad from 2015 and I have a MacBook but it is from 2010 so not much better. My bf had a laptop that is Microsoft and its not that old however it runs hot as hell.

@Deleted User well my solution was to save up and build a gaming PC since I wanted to be able to play games on stream, but a newer MacBook should work better? I’m not really sure

I'd say, that instead of the hardware being the main issue, what you need to think is how you wanna implement your idea.
5:03 PM
By multiple people do you mean in the same room, or playing the same thing and having their webcam in your stream?
5:03 PM
(Or their game, for the same effect)
5:05 PM
If you meant each person on their own hardware, you can easily use https://vdo.ninja/ to do the job (better than Discord)
Bring live video from your smartphone, computer, or friends directly into Studio. 100% free.

Keep a look out for a graphic designer with their commissions open. You'll need to put some monetary investment but a good artist will get you up and running. Other options is to invest time and learn graphic design or use a template. Templates can be a good jump off point too.
Avatar
If you have a twitter account the graphic designers find you
Avatar
Felimancer 3/14/2022 4:09 PM
Omg right? everytime I get a new follow I hover over their name and 90% say graphics designer in their bio
Avatar
Lol and some I message and say hello or something and if you say right now you aren’t interested they unfollow and block xD Shame really. I change my layout around every season.
Avatar
The way I do it, as a designer, is send them my price chart, to which 95% never respond back.
4:41 PM
But on Twitter I only follow to DM, and even that is rare these days. Too many bots to compete against.
Avatar
Price charts would be sweet. It is the really casual approach of about 90% that makes it feel almost sketchy. Sometimes even reusing others art in the layouts.
Avatar
I think most of these 90% just don't wanna invest heavily on their channels. Some due to not wanting to spend more than 20$ on anything (but still looking for premium quality...), others to being unsure that they will even be streaming for long times.
Avatar
Felimancer 3/14/2022 5:04 PM
Do you get the odd DM on discord too? they always act so shocked when I say I drew all my own stuff and take commisions myself XD
Avatar
I set my prices according to what I believe is fair for the level of work that I put in, and I know that I'm expensive for a complete beginner. But I still get random people messaging me from time to time with the usual kind of people...
5:07 PM
"How much for a logo?" - No answers after I send the price. "I can only spend 10$", "I thought it was free", "I can invite you to X server if you do this for free, you'll get lots of commissions there"...
Avatar
Yea, I mean if you have a set plan for the next three months I feel you can price out your stream on an hourly basis to then give yourself x as an advertising cost. Then go out and spend that on how you can increase your quality. Honestly at the moment I think what I need is fun follow/sub/raid notifications, but those are more rare to find in the random NEED WORK DONE FOR YOUR STREAM (insert picture of moose playing with a controller)

People will just yeet your logo into After Effects, create a single gif and will want to charge you 50$ for "each alert"...

So no matter what I do, I think I just don't have good enough hardware to play and stream at the same time, got a i7 10700f, 1660 super as a main gpu and a gtx 950 as a secondary one, 16gb of 2933 ram, anyway, no matter what encoder or quality or resolution I use, it's low fps for say someone else watching the stream, I get 60+fps in any game I play but low fps to the stream

I have the same CPU and just the GTX 950, 16GB of generic ram and I can stream just fine, some games are a bit laggy but people dont seem to mind What are you trying to play, and have you checked if your bitrate etc might need to be adjusted?

If you're maxing out the settings on newer games then adjusting down your graphics settings might be the one thing you need to do to fix the problem ❤️ Remember that audio is more important than the graphics, most people will have you on their second screen or phone so it doesnt matter as much what it looks like, better to focus on sound and entertainment value

Pocket Puppy 4/5/2022 5:01 PM
I'm gonna play around with some settings, actually live rn, pretty cool auto role feature for if your live in this server, it's not so much that I don't care what it looks like for other people, it's that I don't like my game looking bad, hard for me to tell enemies apart and such, but if that's what it takes then I will try that
Avatar

Oh yeah. I have a whole boneyard of new and old crap. That’s where the fun project ideas come from 🙂
10:28 PM
Here’s my latest project: a wooden crypto miner that will eventually serve as the heating core for a hydroponics/mycelium growing system.
10:29 PM
10:31 PM
I’m going to harvest the heat generated from mining to heat a grow tent, pump the O2-rich air out of the grow tent and into a humidifier, then out of that into a mycelium chamber, and then pump the CO2-rich air from the mycelium back into the grow tent.

That's one of the best ways that I've seen of properly 'recycling' the heat from computer hardware

@dorkasaurus_rex No, but I've thought about doing that. Custom PCs might be something I do once my Prussia XL shows up in October. I'm really into streaming tech, and tech in general. For streaming around the house, you could use a Logitec Mevo into OBS. It's a pretty seamless little camera.
2:11 PM
It has a pretty good built-in camera, but if that doesn't work, you could use a wireless lav mic like a Shure XS or something.
Avatar
TenderSausage 4/10/2022 2:29 PM
Old cell phones are the best kept secret though. They have great cameras, generally have good battery life, connect to OBS via Wifi with an app.
2:30 PM
Buy an old iPhone 6S+ or 8 from a pawn shop and run it Wifi only. I've picked them up for about $75 for this purpose.

@dorkasaurus_rex I prefer to use NDI Tools official app. It has never not worked for me, but it's not free. I think it was either $20 or $30, bit I'd say it's money well spent.

No worries. I would not recommend using your main cellphone as an NDI Camera, as the app can be pretty battery-demanding, but an old one is a perfect candidate.

Here in Brazil you can make your employer give you less work hours so you can attend to college classes, if it doesn't impact the work that you do. In my case, having classes in all kinds of hours (from 7am to 9pm on different days), my only option is asynchronous remote work.

I'm pretty sure this is possible, but I'll have to map it out. Basically, if you can configure one encoder to stream on Track 1 and the other encoder to stream Track 2, I believe that's possible.

I don't remember off the top of my head what plugin you'll need to install to stream on encoder 2. Stuck at work and can't do proper research.

Going to do a fun little challenge of not shaving until I hit 10k followers on twitch. Also just to spread some colon cancer awareness with multiple family members surviving it and myself having to get checked up all the time. Long way to go as I sit a couple hundred under 2k, but I think as it gets closer it would help create some hype and awareness for it before shaving the full thing off. Plus I never let it all grow out more than a few months so I'd probably look like Santa xD Suggestions? Asking lots of discords to get a varied view on it.

I'm not trying to keep the name "elon musk", it was just temporary. Technically, if they let me change my name and profile picture back to CanelloTV (which they arent letting me right now), i wouldnt be violating the TOS. So I really don't know how they would handle it.

Provide an ID and explain what you just said? (edited)

You can substantiate that you use that alias online via Twitch VODs or YouTube videos, I assume?

You're at their mercy, unfortunately. You violate the rules, there are consequences. Just be honest and see what they say, understanding that the consequences might be that you have to make a new account.

I already made a new account. I'm trying to decide if I continue with this new account or if it's worth fighting for the old account back. Only had 100 followers.

That's up to you and what your time is worth.

Was it hard to get to 100?

Well it took time, but the new one is at 36 now (people refollowed)

TenderSausage 4/27/2022 5:38 PM
It may be a moot point, then
5:39 PM
If you already have refollowers, just move to the new one
5:40 PM
It'll be confusing and a hassle to manage both

If you ever get control back, that is

I feel like this new account is a fresh start, I think I'll just keep it like that

Blast the new twitter across your other socials and plug it on stream and you'll get them back

More ads and less favourable revenue rates are on the table.
2:52 PM
Twitch is removing the Friends feature from its livestreaming experience. Citing a lack of use as the reason behind the removal.

I’ve read the news
2:53 PM
How does it affect you, as a streamer?
Avatar
ChronicMayhem 5/1/2022 2:53 PM
I think Amazon is not making any profit off the platform, so they are squeezing it for as much as they can little by little until they shut it down completely
Avatar
TenderSausage 5/1/2022 2:54 PM
What would make you think that a platform with no competition, that generates revenue, would shut down? (edited)
Avatar
ChronicMayhem 5/1/2022 2:55 PM
It generates revenue but that it doesn't make up the upkeep cost, thus no profit
Avatar
TenderSausage 5/1/2022 2:55 PM
It’s not that simple at Amazon
2:55 PM
Some services are loss leaders because they enable other services that are pure profit, like ADS.
2:56 PM
Twitch isn’t shutting down.

ChronicMayhem 5/1/2022 2:58 PM
Not soon, but enough few years. If it does I won't be surprised

That'd be just... bad business.

I mean if you are getting into just tech wariness that can apply to any platform. Alphabet said that YouTube was a lose this last quarter.

Amazon IS extracting monies from their most high-paying (and revenue-generating) streamers, and making changes to lower tier payouts. It's still a free platform to stream to.
Avatar
I stream like I assume it will always be around. However, as Mixer showed things can change. YouTube itself has changed countless times since it’s launch and inception lol. It used to be extremely profitable and easy to get going and now it’s all about breaking the algorithm down

TenderSausage 5/1/2022 3:02 PM
I appreciate the conversation @ChronicMayhem, but I'd like to know more about your opinion and not just repeating the talking points in a few articles. I think these authors are biased, in that they have the most to lose from this change. Most small streamers, ESPECIALLY non-affliates, are not impacted in the slightest. (edited)
3:03 PM
But every small streamer gets up in arms because "That could be me one day!"

That's just simply not true. Go look at their SEC filings.

ChronicMayhem 5/1/2022 3:03 PM
And I'm not worried about making less money. I don't make anything on the platform. I'm worried about the user experience and if the platform even you going to be fun to use in a couple years

They have many business arms that make negative money

How are the users impacted?
Avatar
ChronicMayhem 5/1/2022 3:04 PM
The more ads they're going to be implementing is going to hurt the user experience
Avatar
TenderSausage 5/1/2022 3:04 PM
I don't think you read the articles
3:04 PM
This is a rev split change
3:04 PM
not an ad rev change
3:05 PM
I don't think there was any indication that they were going to run ads more frequently
3:05 PM
Just change how the ad rev is paid out to streamers
3:05 PM
I'm not defending it, I'm simply making sure everyone understands it
Avatar
ChronicMayhem 5/1/2022 3:06 PM
I read they're going to increase the incentive for running more ads
Avatar
TenderSausage 5/1/2022 3:06 PM
That's not an indicator of actually running ads, though
3:06 PM
If the streamer is greedy and wants more ad rev, they'll run more ads
3:07 PM
If not, they don't
Avatar
ChronicMayhem 5/1/2022 3:07 PM
Well when a big streamer is going from 70/30 to 50/50 they have to make up that difference in lost revenue

TenderSausage 5/1/2022 3:07 PM
Or accept that they have a decent gig and be satisfied.

But until you do anything like that, it's a bit of a jump over the shark to say that Twitch will shutter because a few streamers are pissed.
3:08 PM
Someone will swoop in and seize the opportunity if anyone leaves
3:09 PM
It's a power move, to be sure, but it's not a dumb move from a business sense.

TenderSausage 5/1/2022 3:09 PM
And I honestly think that users leaving greedy streams is a natural consequence

I think Twitch is very complacent and a little arrogant right now so they think they can get away with taking away features and people will just deal with it

You keep making weird claims. It's not a feature change.
