[Poll] I'm thinking of doing a live stream or two next week while I work on personal projects, fix some software, and write some documents. 📺

Where would you watch it if you like that kind of thing (actively or passively)? 🤔

Thoughts and votes are welcome. 🙏

@popey I'd tune in for a bit if it was Owncast, but likely not Twitch or YouTube.

Someone suggested multistreaming from OBS elsewhere in the thread; if you haven't seen it already, @muesli created prism a few years ago and it worked quite well last I tried it.
https://github.com/muesli/prism

It sits on a box on a datacenter, you stream to it, and it forwards that stream to YouTube, Facebook, Owncast, PeerTube, whatever simultaneously. Prism wouldn't solve the split chat problem, but it would the bandwidth problem.

@amolith @muesli I hadn't seen that! Interesting project. Might have to give that a look! Thanks!

@amolith @muesli Looks broken, sadly. https://github.com/muesli/prism/issues/4

@popey maybe add a fedi platform like peertube?
If you're using obs it doesn't take much to add a stream, and you'll probably not lose followers by adding a fedi account

@wizard You suggesting streaming to multiple places at once? Not sure my bandwidth or GPU could handle that. Also would need to keep an eye on multiple chats, which gets messy. I certainly wouldn't get many viewers if it was peertube exclusive.

@popey twitch has gotten really bad these days. Especially in Firefox.

@sageofredondo Bad in what way?

@popey just unusable in firefox, streams freeze, interface elements do not respond, etc.

@popey Her indoors just signed up to YouTube Premium ™️ and added me as a family member, so that.

Good timing
