Instead of dealing with unlisted youtube live stream links, I'm going to be testing out this new website for Patrons to have exclusive access to. Tomorrow we will be hanging out for a few hours testing out the new streaming setup and giving it an actual first test before I start making content and doing youtube streams with it. Stop by and chat with other Patrons, talk about video ideas, and maybe play some warzone :)

Cool thing about this platform is that it looks like it has more features with the ability to have other people join with their webcams and mics. Let's try it out!

Do you confirm that you're going live at that hour? It's in the middle of the night here in Europe :(

Christian Jackson

I mean... yeah. Lol it’s always going to be at night for half of the planet. No way around that, I’m staggering live stream times so either watch the recording of this one or catch the next one.

Oh, can you do moar epic gaming livestreamz? It could be funny to watch you in "another contest" that the usual lighting stuff 😂

I tried watching the replay but it gives up streaming after about 10 mins so you have to refresh and find the position again. At the half hour point I couldn’t view it anymore - crowdstream wouldn’t let me position the play head after that point.

Yeah, I've been in "contact" with their support team. Patreon recommends crowdstream for patreon-only streams and I decided to give it a try with their pro account (which costs way more than it should). Anyways, they've been unable to answer any of my technical questions about their RTMP ingest server. Basically, crowdstream is the only live stream platform that integrates with patreon, and there is no published info on their streaming limitations. After the stream, I did some experimenting privately with the settings. Turns out they cannot take anything higher than 6700 kbps. That's barely enough for 1080p30, and I prefer 1080p60 with a higher bitrate so you can actually see what is going on with the screens. I haven't heard back from their support team after asking about how we can get higher quality and not have the stream completely stop anytime I send more than 6700kbps. So, until I find another option, we're going to be stuck with low bitrate.
