Summary Vstream is dead. (actually not figuratively) Vstream was the Vtuber focused streaming platform that tried to give creators a bigger cut to profits and a different way of delivering content to viewers. while many can speculate why it couldn't get funding one thing is already known. Streaming is expensive. Quotes My thoughts This is why no one can conquer the 3 streaming giants. As a person who has been following the Vtuber community I was really hoping for a better alternative for streaming in general. The website didn't play #ADs, provided a larger cut to their talents and gave a different method of streaming delivery by apple. While I want to say it could be the Delivery method at fault since I have a massive bias to AV1 encoding which Apple didn't support. I don't think it would have helped. Sources https://vstream.com/

Summary Twitch has updated their Terms of Service as of today (June 6th 2023) to include language that appears to prevent all multi-streaming (unless otherwise explicitly allowed), as well as preventing "baked-in" sponsorships from third parties (as of late June 8th 2023). Quotes My thoughts While the simulcasting restriction has been true for a while now if your a partner, this appears to now apply as a blanket ban, rather than only to higher tier accounts. As for the advertisement limit, it seems to only include prerecorded content, but is worded loosely enough (by including the "And audio advertisements" as well as "display or 'banner'" parts) to potentially envelope any advertisement.

Seems Twitch might be changing them again soon. EDIT2: Added note about now only banning third-parties from providing the adds.

hey guys! my title is a little confusing but let me explain. i am using a logitech streamcam for my twitch streams through obs. i also record my streams for my editor for my youtube channel. my editor has been wanting me to have a separate face cam recording so he can have a higher resolution of my face when zooming in. is there a way to use one webcam for obs and a completely separate video recording software at the same time so i wont need multiple cameras? thank you as always

I've perused a few posts and been googling a few days without finding an exact solution, and wondering if someone may have some insight. Sorry to be wordy, I want to try to cover all the info so people don't have to ask a bunch of questions I should already include. I'm looking to replace using onboard audio, though I fall into the "don't necessarily need to" camp, but half of my use case is giving me grief. Current specs/items: ASUS ROG Maximus X Code mobo Beyerdynamic DT 880 Special black 600 ohm headphones Yamaha AVR HTR-5240 / Klipsch R52C center/ R51M fronts Behringer X1204USB mixer -related, also have a Soundblaster G6 and another cheap USB sound chip/card. If there's another key item that you want to know, let me know, I think that's basically the items involved. A. The basic setup -- optical out from onboard mobo into my AVR, to power my speakers and all my audio runs through this most of the time. **on a whim, I recently tried using the G6 as my "main" audio and hooked it (mini toslink to toslink) to my AVR and though I feel like it shouldn't make so much difference, it really seemed to open up a lot of sound and things seemed to be clearer and better - so option 1 could simply be, get another G6. B. The secondary setup and use -- the audio from my PC is also being used for (twitch) streaming, which leads to looking for another audio solution to replace using the onboard audio. Ignoring part A as it doesn't relate to how this is used in this purpose: 1. onboard audio on mobo from Gaming PC using 1/8th to dual 1/4 into Behringer mixer on Line In 7/8. 2. cheap USB soundchip from Gaming PC using 1/8th to dual 1/4 into Behringer mixer on Line In 5/6 3. Soundblaster G6 from Gaming PC using 1/8th to dual 1/4 into Channel 3 and Channel 4 (hard panned L and R) 4. this is where I use the DT880 headphones for monitoring/gaming/stream - into the headphone jack on the mixer Now, for both of these, I don't have to change any hardware, I just have to change Windows sound output from "amp" to "line out" when streaming, and change it back when I'm done and then I carry on using my AVR and speakers instead of the mixer. This setup isn't broken in any way, but it feels like it has some areas to improve, and one of them is that the audio from the G6 is way better than my onboard audio. Now, the G6 goes into two mic channels that are amped - so I do have some gain adjustment - and maybe I should just swap these around, because for some reason my line-out from onboard audio is just REALLY quiet, with all volumes maxed. I swear it didn't used to be that way, that I had adequate volume adjustment with the slider in the past, and I tend to blame this on Windows somehow because all my sound issues tend to be because of Windows updates. That being said, I got to looking at DACs to replace using my onboard audio, and to hopefully find a combo DAC/headphone amp sufficient to power my DT880s - AND that also has an optical out so that I can use it to run audio to my AVR as I'm currently doing. I DO NOT NEED A HEADPHONE AMP THOUGH, that part truly is secondary - it is more wishful thinking. I have a feeling that the better opinions will always be to get two separate items anyway and not something that does both, but again the DAC is the main part, and fixing/improving my sound source. So far what I've found, which sort of meets criteria but maybe not perfect: a. the Topping D10 Balanced - which actually has balanced dual 1/4 outs which would be perfect to run to a mixer, and has optical out. However, not a headphone amp/preamp. b. Soundavo HP-DAC1 - roughly the same price as the Topping, has RCA outs instead of 1/4 jacks though, has optical out, and has a headphone preamp - Headphone Output Level: 0.1% THD 1KHz 32mW (32 ohm) c. FX Audio DAC-SQ3 - which looks like a low end non-branded Topping? They are sold under the same "name" on Amazon so I'm not sure on this. It looks to be the same as the D10 but with RCA. It has volume, but no headphone jacks. I keep digging and most of the headphone amps with DAC that I find do not have optical outs. The DAC I find with optical outs don't seem to also be headphone amps. The weird Soundavo HP-DAC1 might be the best solution but I'm not seeing much mention of it anywhere, and not sure if it is a solid piece, or just a solid...piece of garbo. Does anyone have any input, opinions, or ideas on this? I often find the magical niche area where no one makes an item that fits exactly what I need, and it feels like I'm at it again with finding a moderately priced item with a strong enough headphone amp and good DAC, with proper outputs. Thoughts? Am I looking for a unicorn, and should I just focus on a DAC with proper outputs instead of both? Also, I could use a DAC with XLR outs, and I "can" use RCA which would make it more universally usable for other situations, but balanced TRS 1/4 is pretty rad.

I am running into an issue that my CPU runs at 100% while I am streaming. I am running Streamlabs OBS, game, a chatbot, music program, some smaller background programs and discord. I am also using two monitors one is 1440 and the other is 1080. My framerate jumps all over the place while I am streaming, it runs ok for the most part, but defiantly lags at times. If you can assist in any way that would be great. - Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z390-A - Processor: i9-9900k - RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 2666 - NVMe SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB - Video Card: ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT Phantom Gaming

Don't know where to post this but "Troubleshooting" seems the most relevant to my "issue"... Some Context.... I'm trying to do some live streaming on my PC but it's way to underpowered and I don't have the money to buy a fully spec'd out PC. What should I "upgrade" about my PC? Should I Buy a AMD A10 6800k (supports the same socket and is apparently better than what I currently have) and upgrade my ram? Should I buy a External GPU housing and buy a GPU? BTW Gaming is secondary but I do game on PC often. Thanks for the help!

So the situation is this, I have a 165Hz Gsynch compatible monitor @1440p but it woks at that refreshrate only when hooked up with a Displayport (HDMI outputs 120Hz max) I see that elgato solutions need an HDMI input... And as far as I understand none of them can output 1440p @165hz (also what about variable freshrate? ) Also as far as I understand their best product (4k60s+) has a significant delay when streaming (like above 250ms? ) I dont care to become like a "game streamer" but some of my close friends moved out of my city and now we like skype each other or what not to hang out but this gets a little tedious if our "sessions" last more than an hour and they do usually, because its not the same as hanging around in a bar or at someones place there are moments where there is silence or whatever etc. So I thought (since I am the only gamer, the other dont game but e.g when in my place they liked watching me play and brake my balls with every small detail they see which was getting into my nerves but I somehow miss that now ) that I could like play a game and have them watching and talking to me so me playing the game could fill up those intervals of silence that happen usually when we e.g talk to each other via discord or skype. The issue is that I would like to have as close to 0 latency (so that they wont ask stuff about the game footage they see that is in the "past" on my perspective and confuse me while playing like "oh you didnt pick up that thing!" "What thing?" "the thing next to the desk in that room" <--- which would be a room I already left etc) But I also would like to keep 165Hz and variable refreshrate on my monitor. Last but not least I would like to feed at least 1440p 60hz on the stream. (so having the device bypass on my monitor to hdmi is a no go) So what streaming solution (doesnt necessarily have to be from elgato) could work? Also would there be flickering issues if eg. I hook the GPU to my monitor via DP (165hz variable refreshrate) but the device (e.g elgato) to the HDMI (as a second monitor) since over HDMI the GPU could not give 165Hz feed? Last but not least could suggest to me headset with more than decent microphone and at least ok sound? Money is not necessarily an issue but I would like the best bang for the buck. Thanks

Hey all, I’m USA based and looking at getting into twitch streaming. I used to do it awhile back and streaming things like Minecraft was easy. But now I’m into games like Escape From Tarkov. I ran some screen recording test and my fps dropped a noticeable amount to the point where I felt it was impacting my ability to play. I would ‘like’ to capture 1080p 60 fps. I’m looking for some guidance in what I should upgrade in my PC or add to it. From my research a capture card will likely not do much unless I had a second desktop (or unless you all know of a card that really reduces overall load on my PC). Otherwise I’m sure my GPU is very dated now. Any suggestions or priority order from you all for me to focus on? I would like to take this one upgrade at a time to minimize costs and don't really want to spend more than lets say $600 (but if needed the upgrades can happen over the course of months if necessary to expand the budget). //Current PC Build Details GPU: Nividia RTX 2060 SUPER CPU: i7-4770K, 4 Core @ 3.5 GHz Memory: 16 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87MX-D3H-CF

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my girlfriends current PC set up. She's a twitch streamer (P3achybuns) and loves playing games on stream. Unfortunately, her current set up can be a bit awkward with games like Two Point Hospital or Planet Coaster / Zoo - which she loves to play. I would like to spend the money in the right area to make sure we can get the most out of the build and hopefully stop any of the current glitches she has whilst streaming and playing certain games. What would you suggest to upgrade on this build? Any suggestions appreciated!

What is the Best Capture Card that has AT LEAST 4k 120hz passthrough with the ability to Capture between 1080p - 1440p 60hz? I want to capture my Main Computer (MacBook Pro) Screen and use my Secondary Computer (Windows PC) to be able to take those visuals and Stream it to Twitch via OBS.

So i used to stream to twitch a while ago perfectly fine with my speeds being perfectly normal with my bittate not moving around too much and staying where i set it. fast forward to a couple of months later and i dont know what is causing the problem or what it is. My task manager is showing my ethernet going up and down a whole lot. I can play games perfectly fine and my downloads are fine too. My upload speeds always appear to be fine but whenever i start going live my streams start to look all blurry and get in the 1000kbs and under and it never used to do this at all Please help me solve this so i can get back into streaming. Thanks

Alright so I tried to see which ports twitch studio beta uses, it doesn't use TCP 1935 like RTMP, I tested it with my firewall, OBS doesn't work, but twitch studio beta does, and there seems to be no documentation about this. If you know please feel free to share.

Forgive me if I'm in the wrong spot, but I was reffered to this forum for computer related issues. I currently stream on twitch and use a 2 pc setup. I currently use voicemeeter banana for my audio mixer because I don't have an actual mixer. The issue I am having is all my audio from my gaming pc is sent through my elgato capture card to my streaming pc, but after buying a new microphone the sound for my mic has been either really low or really high. Adjusting the audio in obs will adjust all the sound. I haven't found a better method to sent the audio seperately instead of together. I ask if anyone has any suggestions to help resolve this audio issue. Thanks

[accidently posted under wrong topic before] I am unable to watch Twitch streams at anything over 720p 30fps. Constant buffering (multiple seconds every 0.5-1 second of viewing). First of all this is not a network issue as on my phone, laptop, mums laptop, etc, etc watching twitch streams at 1080p 60fps is perfect - my connection is definitely good enough. This PC is also not experiencing literally a single symptom of a spotty connection, It is connected through an ethernet cable and the only website with this issue is twitch, everything else i do is completely fine (downloading is stable, youtube is fine, etc) This is also not a chrome specific issue - has nothing to do with cookies, cache, extensions. I have tried on firefox and edge and even the desktop twitch app and the issue is identical. Basically not sure what to do anymore, have had this issue for months now and contacting twitch support was completely useless. Literally any help or ideas are very welcome.

I have quite a few songs and I like streaming on Twitch. I have noticed SOME songs get muted in the VOD the next day. - Meaning the muted songs were in the Twitch DMCA database and auto-flagged for being copyrighted music. Is there a way to check beforehand where the song will get muted in Twitch or not? - surprisingly, not all songs (including mainstream) get muted, it is only some. This includes songs that aren't on the Royalty-free playlist.

So I have tried weeks and weeks of research to stream on my gaming desktop. I even just upgraded to gig speed internet and that didn’t even work... I swear this is about to land me in the psych ward, it’s driving me crazy!! I have 1200 download and 45 upload but whenever I run warzone on my pc then do a speed test everything drops by 99%!!!! It doesn’t make any sense and I’m an IT professional. I have an i7 10th gen, nvidia 1660 super. 16GB of ram. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Please help https://www.staples.com/lenovo-legion-t5-28imb05-gaming-desktop-computer-intel-i7-10700-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-90nc007mus/product_24476303

So I just received my AverMedia GC553 in the mail today. Connected everything, set it up installed newest drivers etc. and it was showing an image which already made me happy. Next thing I notrice is that after a random amount of time (mostly between 5 and 15 minutes) the preview of the image just freezes (audio does not). This obviously means that my stream / recording also stops and I have to either reconnect the capture card or deactivate and activate again in OBS. I hope that somebody knows something about this capture card and could help me :) Thanks in advance! Oh yeah also my main specs are: Mainboard: ASUS Prime A320M-K Graphics card: RX 580 8Gb CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (stock) Ram: 16Gb DDR4 2666Mhz Windows 10 Pro newest version Also, I already know that it says "Intel chipset recommended" on their page but Ive looked around and theres a lot of people having no issues with this on an AMD system.

I have Asus VG248QG its 165 hz and i have Asus VP247H its 60 hz.When i try to stream , stream lags but the game is smooth.How can i fix it ? Is it about the hz difference or its about streamlabs and i should try something else?

Hello! So I stream using StreamlabsOBS and recently bought an Avermedia capture card, there was a pretty hefty delay so I ended up sending it back as everything I tried to do to fix it didn't work and I thought it might just be faulty. I've now bought an Elgato HD60 instead and this has the same issue. I followed every setup guide out there, asked friends who have Elgato stream gear and all of them have said they've never had this issue. I've tried: Disabling Timestamps Disconnecting/reconnecting Updating drivers Trying a wired headset Adjusting the ms delay in SLOBS Trying different HDMI cables in case one in damaged Starting a fresh multiple times Non of this has worked and I've done more but at this point there's just too much to remember and list. If anyone has any reccomendations or fixes I would be beyond grateful at this point.

Decide to stream just like my daily routine, but when i started streaming suddenly i notice that i was dropping frames and my uploads speed (only in twitch) is really dropping till 700s which is really bad. So i tried speedtesting on this sites https://www.speedtest.net/ https://fast.com https://testmy.net/upload and everything is fine. and what worst is i tried streaming on YouTube and Facebook and I was completely fine there as well (but i dont want to stream on those platforms so this is so bad). this just happen for me on this day. Things i haved tried Resetting my router (im on wired connection), resseting my key, changing servers (im streaming on ASIA btw maybe it has to do something with it?) if you have some ideas please help me. here are my specs PC Ryzen 5 2600 16gb 3200 GTX 1660ti 480GB SSD Obs settings (small details) 720p 60fps 6mbps upload Filter: Lanzcos

I am looking at getting into streaming. I had a friend that used to stream popular music all the time whilst playing and there was never any problems (no strikes or anything) and only the sound of the live-stream on play back (VOD) was muted at the copyrighted music parts when it was playing. So is this still the same or can you no longer use any copyright music at all to livestream even if you don't care about the VOD? Hopefully I'm making sense. Any other beginner tips for Twitch would be great. It is scary going into a crowded place starting at pure zero.

Hey guys im joe_ofalltrades i hope your all doing well during these pretty crappy times. I recently started streaming and have come into some fairly large problems that are causing me quite a bit of stress. I cant straem with streamlabs obs most of the time becuase it is being so intensive on my system. I play Atlas which is badly optimised and apex legends but i see a lot of other people streaming the game with almost no hiccups. Full disclosure i lost my job a while back so i am poor af so cant afford the best stuff but could maybe pull a little more debt to help me with my problem. Any advice would be so appreciated here are my specs. CPU: i5 7400 GPU: GTX 1650 Motherboard: z170xp-sli-cf Ram: DDR4-2400 16gb thank you in advance guys Joe

I have a pretty reasonable personal gaming setup that I'd like to start using more for streaming. My problem is that while my 1650 Super does a great job at cranking out 80-120 and even 240 (depending on the game) fps at high-ultra settings, it just can't keep up when it comes to encoding. My options are play at great settings for me but have choppy streaming/recording performance, or play at reduced settings and framerates to get video to match. I know that Elgato's PCIe capture cards all have dedicated encoding chips, along with their top-tier standalone option. Since I'm currently using the NVEC encoder on my 1650, could I get a capture card and adjust my settings in OBS or Elgato's capture software to use the encoder on there? Or do I simply need to get a stronger graphics card to get better recording/streaming performance?
