I've been streaming for a bit, and I kinda wanna start doing some irl streams as well, but I dont want to broadcast my location to everyone just my most trusted subscribers and irl friends. Are there any streaming platforms that require permission from the streamer to view?
I started building a small tool for myself because I got tired of digging through long VODs trying to find good moments for Shorts/TikTok uploads.
The basic idea is:
while streaming, I can say something like “clip that,” and the program automatically finds the moment afterward and cuts it into a clip.
Right now it can:
I’m not selling anything — I actually plan on making it free — but I’m trying to figure out whether this solves a real annoyance for other streamers or if most people already have workflows they’re happy with.
How are you guys currently handling clips/highlights?
Also curious:
what would make a clipping workflow genuinely useful enough that you’d actually use it regularly?
I'm not trying to self promote for views I'm genuinely interested in feedback i do have a video of the pretty early build on my youtube channel. its much farther along that it was in the video.
Future setup more accurate I’m buying it in a month, is 16 gb of ddr5 ram and 16gb of vRAM enough to stream games like Dead by daylight? I wanna start but don’t know if I’ll be able to with this, I do plan to upgrade to 32gb but that will take me a minute maybe 2-3 months just cause I have other stuff to pay for. Thank you in advance
I have been trying to set up my audio to be able to speak and hear on my PC, while also being able to hear my Nintendo Switch on the same pair of wired headphones. When I connect all the cables to my capture card (just one of the generic box ones you can buy off Amazon for about $20), my mic input goes to my pc, but the only audio coming in is from the switch. I have tried updating drivers, disconnecting and reconnecting, as well as a variety of other things. My current best guess is that something is not registering, as when connecting the capture card, the only new audio-related input is for my microphone.
I am using 2 HDMI cords (one into the capture card from the switch, and one out from the switch to a monitor), a USB 3.0 cable to connect from the capture card to my PC, a pair of Hyper X Cloud 3 with an audio splitter to fill both the mic and headphone port on the capture card, and a nintendo switch one with the original dock and power cable. If you guys have any ideas, please let me know. I would really appreciate it.
Below is an image of the capture card I am using
I'm having an ongoing issue with my fifine microphone t669, and it's driving me mad. I tried looking online, and nothing helps. Every time I get loud when playing, my mic just cuts off. I have it 6 inches away, turned down my system volume and I got it set around -7 to -10 decibels. Any solutions, or helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!
Which one is better? Otherwise I found a 1440p@60fps but someone told me 1440p webcams are scams/non existent
i’ve been trying to figure out what’s the best for multi streaming on obs. i used to use aitum and then used StreamElements but idk what’s going on with SE as it keeps giving me error codes and won’t let me stream. aka refer to attached image. do any of yall have any suggestions or recommendations?
thanks in advance!
Every stream I watch there’s always some chatter that will start talking about forsen, even if there’s no raid or mention or anything. People will just name drop forsen for no reason at all. There will be like no context at all and some guy will just go: “Forsen 😉” shit confuses the hell out of me. It’s like he’s got bots promoting him across multiple streams.
Seriously, why is there a need to have a main streaming platform before I can be accepted to do lives on tiktok? Is there a workaround here? Or can I just make a random streaming account with 0 followers and apply on tiktok?
I been seeing lots of streamers and creators posting videos about nexus clips. For those who don't know what it is, Nexus Clips apparently takes your VODs and automatically takes the best moments from your stream and make them into shorts to post of TikTok. They do like captions and everything. I've considered trying it but you have to pay for it. It even claims to have a virality score to tell you how likely the clip would go viral. So my question is, is there anyone here who have used it and if so, would you say it's worth the money? Let's hear your thoughts!
I want to stream all the God of War games, but two of them can only be played on the PS3. Using an ElGato HD60x capture card, will I be able to stream via OBS on a MacBook Pro to Twitch? 5 works like a charm but idk about 3.
Hello everyone!! I’ve been trying to get rdy to debut streaming for about a month or so, and I’ve been having some weird humming or feedback from my speakers whenever I pull up a game. I have a Blue Snowball mic in the center of my desk and my speakers are about a foot away in either direction. I don’t want to resort to a headset because I tend to get headaches, but I’m open to other potential options! Any advice or information would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
I have a few people that come in and say how they love this game or whatever. But I'm almost at the end. Should I go straight to Skyrim? I feel like the audience for that is huge by comparison.
Or should I play it again with a different build and try to make the next one different somehow? Do I play a mod?
Should I maybe play the previous game, Morrowind?
How does one make it so there’s no black borders and the whole stream covers the screen?
Hi all. I’d like to preface this with I don’t have a lot of info as far as room treatment or anything special.
I wanted to ask what might be a cost effective way to stream a DnD campaign where everyone was in the same room. I don’t have a ton of audio knowledge, but I’ve seen something about having a shotgun mic and having that be the mic for everyone.
Alternatively, I’ve seen getting an audio interface and a mic for everyone. We might could even do a USB splitter and a bunch of mics, but that gets a bit strange unless I happen to have friends with good quality mics (I.e not headsets).
Any help would be incredibly appreciated!
Quick update from your favorite walking technical disaster: I actually managed to add info panels and sub badges... and guys, don't even ask how, I died a thousand times.
Converting images over and over again on shady websites just to make them perfectly square was my personal final boss. I literally almost fell asleep sitting up in front of my PC yesterday because I need hours for every single basic task. My brain is officially mush. 😅🫠🫠🫠
But on top of that, I FINALLY got a second monitor! (Though my proper chair is making me wait until Tuesday, so I'm still suffering).
But hold onto your seats, a medical miracle happened: Twitch finally saved a broadcast yesterday! My first three streams vanished completely into thin air because genius me obviously didn't know you have to manually activate "store past broadcasts" in the settings. Anyway, yesterday some actually funny moments and a few kills happened where I even surprised myself. I would love to turn them into clips now—both regular ones for Twitch and vertical ones for TikTok/Shorts.
But here is the thing: When you are on your Twitch homepage, there is a tab that says "Clips", but it only SHOWS existing clips. You can't actually create any clips under that tab. It's just a completely empty void with no button anywhere.
Out of pure desperation, I tried to screen-record the Twitch player on my monitor, but the result looks like a pixelated flipbook from the 90s😭🤣 The quality is absolute garbage.
And before the pros here directly come at me: Yes, I am going to switch to OBS eventually. I swear! But right now, I am just glad I got Streamlabs running without blowing a fuse in my apartment. If I have to relearn a whole new software right now, I'm going to have a mental breakdown and set the PC on fire.
If anyone can give me a fool-proof guide from A to Z on how to actually make proper clips from scratch (please explain it like I'm 5 and have never seen a computer before), I would be eternally grateful!

So basically, if I’m downloading a game on Steam and open something like Valorant at the same time, my ping becomes terrible because the download is using my internet. The moment I pause the Steam download, my ping goes back to normal instantly.
Now the weird part is with streaming.
If I stream while playing story/single-player games, everything works perfectly fine. No lag, no stream issues.
But the second I launch any online game while streaming, both things start dying:
- the game ping becomes unstable/high
- the stream also starts lagging/dropping frames
I even tried lowering the stream bitrate a lot, but online games still become unplayable while live. Story games work completely fine though.
I've been a streamer for over 5 years and have a decently large audience. I have made many streaming friends in my time or at least people I thought were friends. I started to shout other streamers out often or regularly because I was grateful that they would stop in to my streams. It got to be too much over time that I thought me promoting people too much was irritating my actual community and it means less to the average viewer if I just promote everyone that I know whos a streamer. As I began promoting everyone less, over time I sort of realized at least a big portion of them would only stop in because I would promote them and many of them stopped showing up. Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this.
For me now, I just focus on producing the best content and having the best stream atmosphere and vibe that I can and I know the people who show up are there because they want to spend time with me and enjoy my vibe. I still do promote other streamers but its only when I truly think my audience would like them or if they have a big stream event coming up that I think would be cool to talk about and its seldom enough so when I do it, I think it means a lot more. Thanks for listening.
Kinda recently I have bought an Xbox Series X and a Switch 2, and want to use with my current capture card, which only records and loops out up to 1080p 60. Before I bought it, it worked just fine for what I needed, but now I want to be able to play supported games in 4k 120 while still sending the signal to the capture card.
Is there any device that can downscale the HDMI signal?? I have already bought an HDMI 2.1 splitter that can separate the signal, but can't find anything that does the downscaling.
I know I can just stream from the xbox to the PC especially with greenlight (which doesn't have the anoying message when you click something else on the PC) but I'd like to make the setup a bit easier by sending the signal to the capture card, and also make the image quality just a bit better.
I don't really want to buy a 4k 120 capture card since they are really expensive where I live and I only stream in 1080p.
Keeping it short, I used to stream irregularly 6-8 years ago, but I was actively involved inna few tight stream groups and communities on Twitch. Then I returned to school, and bye-bye internet life and intermet presence.
I want to return to streaming. 100% for fun, not looking to get famous, and mainly just trying to find my people with the games I play (Smash, Pokemon, Zelda, etc.)
I'm very nervous. I don't have high confidence reaching out to new people online, and I don't know how people *are* online now if that makes sense compared to 2018.
Any advice?
