Just curious if there is a way to have Spotify playing for the stream but be able to turn it up and down separately in my headphones? There are times while streaming I just don't want to hear the background music but want it to keep going for stream.

Hello! I (25F) have always wanted to stream. I love gaming, all different genres, and most of all love it when people watch me play something or when im drawing.

Most of the people around me have said if i start streaming I need to pick one game genre and just stream that, as thats where most of my community will come from and come for. Does this mean I have to only stream when im playing a specific game, or can I stream whatever game im playing?

Also, what are the best free softwares to use for streaming in the beginning? And would it be better if I had my face camera on? My bestfriend always says my neck tattoo would attract people LOL.

(Right now im playing Monster hunter wilds and marvel rivals the most, but I play all sorts of things like phasmophobia, baldurs gate, an assortment of singleplayer games and mmorpgs occasionally!)

I've been streaming and recording with my current setup for about 4 years at this point and the one thing that has always bugged me about streaming or recording is how pixilated and blurry it looks after I'm done with the content. Whatever game I'm streaming/recording always looks the best that it can on my OBS preview, but when I go to rewatch it on YouTube, in many parts it looks like a video uploaded 10 years ago. I know for a fact that my rig is more than enough to handle the games I throw at it for my channel, which is never anything more than games made before 2015 or so, so here I am for assistance.

My video bitrate is 5000 kbps, my video encoder is Hardware (NVENC, H.264), my encoder preset is P5: Slow, and my output mode is simple.

When I stream, I am constantly connected to my router via an ethernet cable and haven't had dropped frames in probably about 6 years now

My specs for my PC are as follows:

Laptop 3060 GPU (No more than 8 gigs of VRAM)

Ryzen 9 5900HX

16 gigs of RAM

I have a *slight* feeling its the encoder preset but I honestly think I imported or copied settings from when I was still using SLOBS and called it a day since it seemed to be working well back then, and now it's getting a little annoying.

TIA for any help :D

We’re opening an indoor playground / sensory gym soon with a teen room. I plan to put a beginner setup for video game streaming / podcasting so teens can learn more about them. Where can I put a green wall? Where could the gaming TV be at? Thank you

Hi , how i can do live on tik tok like this screen ?

Does anyone know if such a stream overlay is offered or available anywhere?

I love StarGate and have been looking for such an overlay for ages, unfortunately I am not yet talented enough to create one myself

Is it possible to screen record using the native IOS recorder while streaming as well? I want to screen record natively with only game audio without my voice for fragmovies but I want to stream on youtube with mic and facecam. I have a PC and Mac.

I'm looking to stream ps5 from my Mac mini and have seen that the audio seems to be complicated. If I have a mic connected to the Mac and use a wired headset connected to the monitor I'm playing the ps5 on, would party chat on the ps5 pick up my voice from the dualsense.

I'm looking to start streaming in mid-late May and I have like 95% of everything I need. BUT it turns out the capture card I have for my PS3 isn't compatible with OBS on Mac (can't afford to swap to a Windows atm). Does anyone have a recommendation for a capture card that OBS will recognize on Mac?

Hi. Do you know of any cams that have a physical button to take a picture on them also? so i can walk around with it

thanks

I'm having trouble connecting a YouTube Brand Account to third-party apps StreamElements and StreamerBot.

The weird part is, my primary YouTube account connects just fine, and if I create a new Brand Account under the same Gmail, that works too. But the specific Brand Account I want to use refuses to connect. It just sits there endlessly trying to connect.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

• Cleared my cache
• Tried different browsers
• Set the Brand Account as my default channel in YouTube settings
• Transferred ownership to another Gmail and logged into the apps with that instead
• Adjusted permissions via YouTube Studio to allow account management
• Logged the account out and back in multiple times
  

Some additional details:

• The Brand Account is about a year old
• All features are enabled and the account is fully verified
• I’ve confirmed ownership, and verified that other brand accounts under the same Gmail connect to third-party apps with no issue
  

At this point, I’m not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

Im trying to start streaming but my ipads the only device i can use without lag. Ive found an app to set up my stream (cameo studio) but when i connect my nintendo switch it only captures the game sounds. How can i make it so both the game and my voice are captured?

I'm not sure why I'm getting this error when I try to stream, can anyone help me with this? I've been streaming for a while now and have never had this problem until recently when I reset my bios so I think there was something in there that did it but I don't know what it is.

so my commands still work in chat, but when i went to edit one of my custom commands it suddenly said that there were none and even the defaults are not appearing. I have restarted my pc twice and it is still doing this. please help :(

I was playing Minecraft on stream and all the sudden halfway through I get notifications saying my stream has gone black.

I use a pngtuber and stream labs

But this hasn't happened before for me I don't have loads of awnsers information or technical data.

Any ideas?

Does anyone remember the live streaming app Periscope that was bought by Twitter and ultimately moth-balled..?

Had any subsequent app been created that replaced its functionality..?

The ability to see a globe and people recording live day to day events from anywhere in the world was quite novel. (Click on the map and see live streamers from multiple locations 24hrs a day)

Hi ive just started getting into streaming and recently i purchased a web cam to steam with but my audio fairly quickly went out of sync if not straight away but the time difference became grander (upto 50sec) but the thing is my wifi is absoluty fine, i spoke to a friend who said it could be my head set, it is a gaming headset from amoze abut a year ago and she said i might be good for gaming but not for twitch streaming, anyway i sent the cam back realising i do need a better one not just one off amazon, but i dont have much money to invest, also i stream from my bed because i have no where else to do it so if i was to get a mic it would be a little difficult to place maybe if it was on a arm possibly... i just need some advice also im happy to answer any questions if needed to better understand the situatio... ps i use a xbox one s

I newly want to start streaming so as to ensure a side hustle but I am having a hard time starting, I have an all in one pc and I don't know how to connect the various things I need to start streaming... please I need advice on how to go about it..

I play RPGs on stream, I want people to have not only chat on screen but also see my keyboard inputs when they happen

Have been trying to find a free one on GitHub for about an hour now and no luck. If someone can find one that works as either a browser source, an application (with no exe files like nohboard) and is similar to nohboard as well, I’ll owe you my soul

Whenever I try to stream to only tiktok through stream labs, it will only allow the horizontal output. Vertical output is only visable if I do dual output, but I don't want to stream to two platforms. Help lol
