Streaming and networking

I am not a big or even a medium streamer, i like streaming and sometimes if 1-2 people come to talk it has been a great streaming day.

But everytime someone comes  to chat and i see copypasted text "Hi love  your stream, it would be nice if you checked mine insertrandomstreamurl, keep up the good work" and then just leaves....
Why would i check that stream ? its more annoying than "networking"

One day this guy hosted me and talked a bit, just random chatting THAT was networking and right way to do it. Seemed like a nice guy and at the end he said "yeah GLHF on games and check me out if you want sometimes, gotta go sleep now so tired". That guy got me interested and i felt good, hes streaming schedule is bad for me so i cant watch him but gave a follow.

So dont copypaste some text and just paste it to 100 streamers... if streamer is  used to chatting they see throught you.

If you are doing that Follow for follow stuff, be honest about it and dont spam it to random people. Spam it  to those who has announced that  they are doing that too.

I dont do that follow for follow because i dont want random follows, if i get follow i want to be real and by someone why actually may watch my stream again.

For me its not about the follows, its about the games and people who watch.

So before you do that think "will this follow for follow stuff actually help me get viewers who return or even watch me" and think what you want your stream to be. I see many streamers with 1000 follows but 1-2 viewers who clearly are their friends and watching own stream.

Retweeters are decent on twitter, people can choose to watch and follow you if they like it.

Use stuff to get found, not to get follows

Good streaming and gaming.

Small ad for my stream DO NOT HIT THAT FOLLOW IF YOU DONT WANT TO!

How to stream nintendo switch or other consoles

So i bought nintendo switch and wanted to stream it, first of all dont buy cheap capturecards.... i bought one for 24dollars just to test it... well quality was scuffed. Now i have pretty cheap and decent capturecard Avermedia LGP Lite (GL310). So here is how do i do it.

First if you play throught watching from RECentral it has input lag but if you dont the sound source is gonna be tricky.... i solved it

1. Download Avermedia RECentral software
2. HDMI cables goes this NINTENDO-> LGP Lite input
                                         LGP Lite output->TV/other screen
3. Put LGP Lites usb to PC
4. Start RECentral and select  Capture then you can just click 1.Click wizard and select console
(you dont actually have to capture just have to window to popup and you can stream the window)
5. Now on OBS make new window capture and capture the RECentral window
6. Play throught your TV/other screen, if using TV mute it so your mic doesnt pick up any sounds
7. Go live and have fun

This way sound comes from RECentral app and you can play throught TV/other screen without input lag from controller.

This method or idea should work with most capture cards but GL310 was about 100dollars so its not bad and quality is good.

GLHF hope this helps

How to setup basic streaming software

Hi this is a quick guide to setup basic streaming software and start streaming quickly.

First i suggest downloading Streamlabs OBS wich has nice premade widgets and themes to quickly setup overlays and donations etc.

https://streamlabs.com/slobs/d/401648

Its totally free and if you use my affiliate code i get some benefits and streamlabs donates small amount of money to charity if you use it.

Basically you only need streamkey to start streaming, it can be found https://www.twitch.tv/broadcast/dashboard/streamkey <--Here on twitch and i assume from settings in youtube too.

Setup donations (paypal,creditcards,skrill) from streamlabs dashboard. Connect twitch/youtube and stream key should be added in slobs options if it didnt add automaticly. I suggest streaming in 720p and atleast 30fps if your pc can handle it.

If you want to make sure that everything is okay make some test streams and watch vods so you get your microphone/desktop/game volumes right.

You are pretty much good to go just launch SLOBS and make a game capture if you stream games, webcam etc. from softwares sources. Check that everything is right in EDITOR then just GO LIVE.

Nice addon i can recommend is Streamlabs Chatbot wich can be used for songrequests and minigames for viewers. It takes a bit of configuring but it is nice. Chatbot also shows your chat so you dont have to have chat window open.

HAPPY STREAMING.
