If you’re doing a panel with just people talking no fast motion stuff like you do with games and you can do it. Most people like myself use things like OBS or vmix because we have more control over quality. Streaming to twitch you are only able to do under 7000kbps. While this may look great if it was just people talking but the moment you add in gameplay 7megs is not enough. OBS and other programs give more options for encoding like Presets which is a key to having clean streams on Twitch.
Since you are being so helpful, just one question - for the moment - about streaming. So, simply using the ATEM software I was able to start streaming on Twitch - well maybe two questions. If I'm using OBS I presume I should stream from it, correct? What about Twitch Studio, Dashboard, etc. What takes precedence? I noticed last night the 'scene' I was streaming from Twitch Studio was up when I logged into twitch under a personal account. At the same time I went into the ATEM software and started streaming to Twitch and I was seeing the ATEM output. So, who has precedence, OBS, ATEM, Twitch Studio, or the any number of other platforms I see available.? We are definitely going to want to see and respond to comments, get tips or charge for a show. I see other extensions that tout that as their specialty. I am assuming OBS has plugins for that sort of stuff. Side note, I'm playing around with Mix Effects on my iPad and experienced a wee bit of a woody. TMI?
BTW we use multiple front/rear projectors, fog machines, bitchin' lighting, lasers, and more. So, I'm also learning how to program DMX boards, We just got a 40 day show gig and have to step up to the audio using Beringer wireless snakes, and such. Like I said water fountain vs. fire hose. My goal (Santa wish List) is to get LED light panels to cover a 20' w x 10' high area. While I absolutely hate to do it, I'm buying them from China because the costs are sooo much lower. Same with our lasers. With the wattage we have we had to get FCC licensing. Yes, this is me showing off my plumage or measuring my.... and has nothing to do with what I'm asking. Just excited because we got the 40 show contract this morning. I know what some may be thinking, they do this with 1080p PTZ cams? Things have just started falling into our laps. This all started two years ago when we just wanted to put on a single day festival for Gold Star families on memorial day and it has blown up in our faces.
