What kind of streaming software should i use ?

Eternity · 08-03-2013, 06:59 PM

I was thinking of LiveStreaming some work on the community game in an hour or two but first i need to find a suitable streaming app.

I thought about Join.me and also about twitch streaming.

I want the stream to be lag free, though i can't guarantee since i will be BitCoin mining on my secondary GPU which is a lot better than my primary GPU.

Any tips ?

LiveStream with Procaster. It's free, plus lag free (relatively). Not to mention you can use any resolution, chat in game, etc.

I just did my livestream with Join.me, I didn't have complaints. It was coding though.

How does it affect my computer performance ?
Does it use the CPU or GPU ?

To be honest, I'm not too sure. The only FPS drop I ever see is ~ 10fps, and no computer performance is affected.

Only thing you need for no lagg is a decent internet speed.... That's all the troubles I faced.

I like to use twitch.tv, I've never had any problems with it and it's easy to use. I forgot the name of the program that I used to stream with, but I'll update this post once I find it.

Edit: It was xSplit.

Don't use join.me lol, it sucks hard. Go for Twitch / Justin streaming, I have good experience with that. I've always used OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), it's free, has a lot of functionalities and it easy to use. If you need help with OBS then I could help you ^^. Looking forward to your stream.
