I have a set of strip lights, but Id prefer to avoid using multiple apps to control my light setup. I have Govee lights which I love, and would like to control the Daybetter light strip using the same Govee app. Is this at all possible? Ibe looked for Govee adapters, but I can't find anything. Figured I might as well ask the pros or more experienced.

EDIT: Would going in reverse be better? I have a Govee Lightstand and a set of Govee Y-glide lights...
I've seen something called WLED. Is this something that various lights from various brands can all be connected to and controlled by one app? If so, is it a difficult process and would I be about to custom control light animations like I currently can for Govee lights?

So, I desperately need to start my social presence. I started out with a few clips right off the bat.... but Immediately blocked myself with the "Theres just no good material" dilemma. My wife and friends claim Im entertaining. But when I scrub through my VODs, I just don't see anything that's worth clipping. During the actual stream, I have my stream deck setup for clips, a button for wins, fails, boss battles, and funnies, to organize them. By the end of the stream, I realize I never noticed anything that stood out worthwhile and didn't use any of them.

Is this just a matter of "Get over it/Get over yourself and clip everything!"? I tend to have a habbit of saying "Lets see here" when Im thinking. I have a sound bit from KH3 (Sora saying "Lets See") that I play every time I catch myself saying it. My wife suggests I have a counter (don't even know how to set that up) and stitch those together.

Do you know of any good tutorials or coaching to help with a person trying to establish a social presence for their Game Stream.

So... gameplay and stream quality will ALWAYS be the only thing to build and solidify a community for your channel. Im not lost on that at all. Social presence is also extremely important, something I have been epically failing. So THOSE two need to take priority. However, When I think of it from a marketing standpoint, I know some businesses will introduce their product or company with some sort of discount or incentive to at least get potential customers to become aware of said product or company. Is it frowned upon in the twitch community for a new streamer to have some sort of "first 3 to... will get a free set of..." type of event to draw in viewers/followers/chatters?
I used to run a laser engraving shop. I moved and had to sell eeeeverything. It was extremely hard and sad. I still have some Kingdom Hearts coasters I made. I thought of maybe doing a week long event, prompted by social posts, drawing people to my channel and earning 3 individuals each a set of my coasters.

Its....... a bad idea huh? 😞

Is there a way to install an extension to a custom dock I use as my twitch chat window?

I really doubt this is possible, but I figured I might as well check....
I have to use BetterTTV currently in order for emotes to exist on my channel. Not affiliate yet and having got the beta(?) invite. In order to actually see the emotes when they are used, one has to have the BetterTTV extension installed on their chrome browser. Im under the impression that OBS piggybacks off of chrome. Is this possible

Ive uploaded emotes onto my BetterTTV profile for my channel. When I go to test them out in chat on my channel, they are 56x56. I was under the impression the would be 112x112 minimum default. Is there a setting Im missing?

Im very very new to twitch and social as a whole. Never even touched social prior to streaming. Im trying to make myself more present and advertise myself. Fow a few days, I did a daily clip for tik tok and Instagram with a clip of my gameplay from previous stream, and either voice over or video of me saying something along the lines of "Good morning! Hope youre well. Just throwing out an invite as a reminder that Ill be on at 3pm (or whenever) later today getting back into (name of game). Please join, have me as background noise or join in the chat. hope to see you then." I stopped with concerns. One... I have no followers or viewers really... so who's gonna care. For those that are followers and viewers... maybe it becomes to redundant when its a weekly cycle.

Does anyone do this? is this a good strategy or obnoxious?

Currently, when I stream, I stream and record from one regular scene and one vertical (I use vertical for clips only). When I take clips using a multi-task streamdeck button I setup, It clips from both of those scenes simultaneously. However, when I go back to the clips/highlights/recordings, sometimes the webcam is in a bad place, or Id just like a clean scene with just the gameplay or webcam to edit. I know how to clip from one regular scene and the vertical scene since the vertical scene, so far as I understand, is a separate thing run by a plugin. But I can't find any way to record and/or clip from multiple OBS scenes, while streaming from one.

Is there a way to setup the following to stream, record, and clip from one scene, but simultaneously record and clip from 3 additional scenes? [Sound would be included in each]
Scene 1 - Regular 1920x1080 Game with webcam and alerts overlay (Stream+record+clips)
Scene 2 - Aitum Vertical Game with webcam overlay (record+clips - not yet streaming)
Scene 3 - JUST 1920x1080 Game (Record+Clip only)
Scene 4 - JUST 1920x1080 Webcam (Record+clip only)

Before I go on, I am aware that the "sensor" is nothing more than leds that could (supposedly) be replaced by candle lights.
Once upon a time I bought a wireless sensor and there was a good 8 ft between where I played and the sensor. My friend borrowed the sensor and a wii-mote and said he couldn't get it to work. After that, I couldn't get it to work for me either. I recently brought it back out, and it worked... kind of... but Im now at a desk, with only about 2ft, and though motion is registered, it's kind of all over the place. Ive heard negative things about the wireless sensors, which I think is ironic being that it shouldn't matter, so I went and purchased THIS Wii sensor. I got it, plugged it in, and ... nothing. No light on the bar, no response to the Wii-mote. I have a 5v wall charger, so I used that, still nothing. Is this sensor not some how not compatible.

Also, is there a minimum distance one must be from the sensor?

I'm considering streaming from my iPad while my laptops out for repairs. The prime option coming up is CamoStudio, but I'm finding little about specific info I'm wanting. I'm hoping someone might know about these.
Does the app support screens, webm overlay, and transitions. The only screen I'd need really is the BRB screen.
During BRB and and chat, I'd love to have Spotify playing as I do with my laptop.
Lastly, when I'm trying to set up. When using "Apps on this iPad" the screen is doing that infinite mirror thing. Is there any way to view what it will look like with a specific app open as source instead of screen cap?

I busted my laptop screen and it caused other issues. Its all covered and free, but since it's not just a straight screen swap, I have to send it in. They say the minimum turn around would be about 5 day. Its been over ten years since Ive been more than 2 days without my computer.

Anyway... I am SOOOO new to streaming that its almost laughable that Im even concerned about this, with only 9 followers, maximum of 1-3 viewers at any given time, and only 2 out of four prerequisites met for reaching affiliate, but if there's one thing I'm trying to be solid on is maintaining my schedule. I have health issues and cant always stay on the full time, but I at least try for a few hrs. If I don't have my computer, is my efforts to have a steady streaming record going to be shot? Is there any way I can say that my PC is out for repairs, provide twitch with proof? I really don't want to start from scratch even though it's been pretty new (about 2 months)

So, the subject line pretty much is the post. I want to know if there is any way to see when a follower (not just a viewer) joined the stream, and exactly how long they stayed in the stream.

Is this possible?
