Hi, all! Andy here.

Last night I completed an epic 7-hour stream for the Rookery where I was mapping the Princedom of Altdorf and talking LOADS! Lots of details about the LAWhammer streams were discussed (the video even opens with Lindsay giving you a tour of where we will initially be streaming from), and loads of Warhammer lore was shared, but once I was done, I got to thinking: For the LAWhammer streams, do we want to use Twitch for the broadcast? Or YouTube? Or something else?

Does anyone have a preference for where they watch these things?

I have some experience of this from my work with the Rookery where we stream to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and Twitter, but that seriously fragments the audience and the chat. That's fine for a panel show where we're taking questions from others as we go, but would it be better for the LAWhammer streams for you all to be gathered in the same place?

I'm not sure, so I figured I'd ask all of you: where would you like to see us stream from and why?

The more opinions the better, so please share your preferences.

PS: Seriously, the video I linked to above is a trove of Warhammery stuff, but it's 7 hours long, so... yeah...

I suggest keeping it diversified, as long as it's not heaps of extra work for you. I imagine Twitch will have the largest following, but I personally prefer the YouTube interface as it gives me easy controls for playing the streams on our living room TV (we had a watch party yesterday!). I would not worry about "fragmenting" the audience - cast a wide net and see how it works out. This will be more of a "watch" experience and less of aninteractive stream, and many will likely choose to watch episodes after they are uploaded - so finished streams should definitely live in both twitch and YouTube for greatest exposure.

I agree. And I often won't watch in real time. I'd just ask that, if it's on Youtube you make it it's own Playlist. It will make it a lot easier to access the TEW videos from my TV. I use Newpipe, which pulls things through from Youtube and it's lot easier to do that with Playlists. I don't have a view about other media options (except that I largely avoid Facebook and would be very sad if it were a Facebook exclusive!)
