I gained 300 followers on 7 days and I’ve got a consistent audience of like... 20 - 30 and that feels like a really really good start
I’ve made about... 12 dollars?
Which isn’t a lot but it isn’t. 0. Which I was anticipating
So to everyone who said I’d be good at this I owe you a drink lmf
Glad you're having fun! I've been seeing you boot up programs for it in Steam but idk when you actually stream
I stream at like 1:30 AM to 4AM ish since that’s when I get off work on TikTok live
As soon as I figure out how to stream to both TikTok and twitch and see my chats I’m so set
you could also use something like streamerbot or mix it up (easier to use than SB)
Ooo okay I’ll look into it
The main issue I was having is I was running TikTok Live Studio and Streamlabs and my computer was not happy about it
streamlabs is harder on you pc than obs
plus you can’t use a lot of the addons folks use (tho i think spout2 does work with SL now)
if you have’t heart of it, spout2 hides you VTS overlay and lessens how much VTS uses
SL does have some nice integrations but yeah it is so much harder on your PC
Yeah I might need to figure out OBS sob
because it's just another program running on top of OBS
honestly the hardest part of OBS is the initial set up. once you have it configured for what you need you're golden.
If I can run live studio and stream labs at the same time I’d be golden honestly
I hate life studio it’s a garbage buggy program BUT it works without needing to do much extra
I only use it for recording game play, but can also vouch for OBS only really being a chore to get figured out and set up the first time
Once it knows what you want it to do, you rarely need to mess with it again.
if you use obs you can use
https://aitum.tv/... which also has a vertical version so you can do multiple platforms at once
its super easy to use but i would suggest setting up twitch as the main one first
Does it let me run two setups at once? 8/a
at least, if you want to split your music audio
basically, its an all in one login, hold on let me find a vid
but tl;dr is you install the plugin, log into all your platforms on it and then you can pick and choose which to go live on but will always go live on the main one
well not necessarily log in, but put in your streamer key and all that

i did set up baby's first overlay
so like, here's mine

the green button next to your whatever output is how you go live on the other platforms
vertical streaming will also show up as a seperate dock but i don't have that set up
as far as overlays go, that's nice (i prefer little to no screenclutter tho and just focus on gameplay)
also man i really didn't get it until i was actually streaming why people do it
i still don't understand how the HUGE people do it bc chat moving that fast and that many people clamoring for your attention would be overwhelming but
