Streaming
I am thinking of starting streaming some of the things I am doing like programming but maybe some other things in the future too.
Both Twitch and YouTube are great platforms for that.
Here are tools I use for streaming:
- OBS for recording my laptop, audio and sometimes the camera.
- iShowU for installing the audio driver so the stream actually captures the sound from my headphones.
Liked this audio/streaming setup.
Notes
- To see Twitch chats in IRC, first connect to Twitch via IRC, then join the channel of stream you want (i.e.
/join #nikitavoloboev). - 99.925% of streamers aren't making a meaningful income. It goes all the way to the top streamers on the platform. 25% of the top 0.1% don't even make minimum wage.
- You can play music whilst streaming, just do it on separate audio track via OBS. You can avoid the talking from being muted on VODs because there would be no music on the VOD.
- To not have headphone quality issues when OBS is up, disable microphone input
- OBS sends the pixels to YouTube/Twitch during live stream but compresses first using h264
