I’m new to streaming and want to stream irl on the go when I’m outside.

Hi everyone,

I’m part of a small team working on a set of streaming tools designed by creators, for creators. Today, we’re introducing Cast Player (P2P) — a decentralized, peer-to-peer streaming solution designed to put control back in the hands of creators and their audiences. We’d love to get your thoughts as early adopters and beta testers.

Here’s what makes Cast Player an essential tool for creators:

• Decentralized System: As a peer-to-peer network, Cast Player eliminates reliance on centralized servers, offering more control, flexibility, and stability for your streams.
• Real-Time Streaming: Enjoy lightning-fast zap times and real-time streaming with an incredible 0.2ms lag, delivering seamless and near-instantaneous experiences for your audience.
• Embed Streams Anywhere: Easily host streams on your own domain or site with a simple iframe code.
• Customizable & Brandable Player: Make the player your own with branding and style that suits your identity.
• PPV & Ticketed Events: Seamlessly host pay-per-view or ticketed events to create exclusive experiences for your audience.
• Multi-Camera Meetings: Bring dynamic, multi-angle perspectives to your streams for enriched engagement.
• Hybrid Data Management: Gain control over your data with innovative, hybrid data management options.
• Audience Registration & Notifications: Let viewers register and follow the player for updates on your content.
• General Chat with Moderation Features: Keep the conversation flowing with a built-in chat system and moderation tools.
• Viewer Profile Customization: Enable your audience to personalize their profiles for a more interactive experience.
• Interactive Polls: Drive engagement by letting viewers actively participate with real-time polls.
• Raids & Hosting Support: Collaborate with other creators by raiding or hosting live streamers across platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Kick.
• Tipping & Donations: Empower your audience to show appreciation with a flexible tipping and donation system.

CastCoin Reward System:

By being part of the peer-to-peer network, users are rewarded with CastCoins, which they can use to tip their favorite creators or cash out for themselves. It’s our way of giving back to the community while encouraging engagement and support among creators and viewers.

We’re eager to hear from creators like you! Whether you’re a seasoned streamer or just starting out, your feedback can help us shape the future of Cast Player.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Join our Discord: Connect with our community, get live demos, and share your valuable input directly with our team.
• Join our Subreddit: Stay updated on Cast Player’s progress and get insider previews of new features.
• Become a beta tester: Experience the power of Cast Player, share your honest feedback, and help us refine it further.

We’re excited to launch in Q4 this year, and we can’t wait to see what you think of our Cast Player. Drop any questions or ideas below!

just wondering if when you ban someone that’s following you, does it make them unfollow you? i’m trying to clean out my follower list of a few people i no longer speak to or just want following me and so far it’s still staying i have the same number of followers

if not, they at least won’t get notified when i’m live if they’re banned, right? tyia

Hey. So I am trying to set up a command preferably over stream elements. That works as a counter of how many times a person has redeemed the command.

So it would look like: User has collected snowflakes (name of the collection redeem) an amount of (the amount of times).

But I can't make it work. Any suggestions?

Hey guys looking to add a used camera to my dj streams. I currently have a go pro hero 8 but don't want a go pro for the second one. Do I go used camcorder, used dslr with clean hdmi out, or new webcam? 4k isn't a must. I have about $3-400 to spend

I want to stream on twitch and tik tok. What are some apps, tools, topics, and tips you guys would recommend? Anything helps I am starting from scratch. I see a real future with this and struggling to start. Please help chat

Any advice? I got my pngtuber set up and I’m looking to gain a few friends on twitch before I do my first stream so I’m not awkwardly alone 😅😅😅😅

i stream gaming content mostly Minecraft/marvel rivals currently right now, im 18.

I'm an indie gamedev and content creator and I wanted a tool to quickly show me how well a game is performing across different platforms. So I made a website that aggregates game data for 200k+ games from Steam, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and IGDB: https://perch.gg

Really interested in the feedback here, especially from variety streamers. I mainly make YT videos so I'd like to learn about how different streamers pick games to play.

Right now my main concern is that there's too much info on the site, so I'm working on a notification system that sends you an email or Discord message when a game is going viral on any platform, or when there's a major launch or update. Tentative plan is to make the notifications customizable to the kind of games you play.

I've been reading up on how to get a bigger audience and almost everybody says that you have to use different kinds of social media channels to promote your Twitch Channel. I just made a Tiktok and YouTube account to share some clips on, but what kind of content works best? The first thing I uploaded was a clip of me feeding my cats on stream since they're often talked about during my streams. Any other recommendations?

I've been using Streamlabs console for streaming, but I feel like it glitches out and doesn't have a steady connection. The interface feels very buggy. Is there any way I can still use the Streamlabs Desktop app without getting a capture card? I want to save up a bit and wait 'til I have a bigger following to invest in streaming gear.

Looking for a good streaming head set that isn’t like a headband. My hair always gets messed up or in my face when I take my headset on and off. I really would appreciate some recommendations.

Hey folks. I'm thinking about running a stream marathon to gather some funds after some life stuff has happened (tl;dr I have to move out of my current house, I won't get into it) and I was looking for any tips, advice, or concerns that folks who have done similar things might have for me to consider ^{^}

I'm a smaller streamer that finally hit affiliate a couple months ago, but have been on hiatus partially due to the aforementioned life stuff. I'm thinking about doing a marathon where I play through and 100% a series of games that I really enjoy and then potentially moving on to complete other games series if needed. I don't have enough of a following to do a subathon per se, but I still want to try to figure out something to do.

What I'm looking for in terms of advice is something like this: * I struggle a lot with chronic pain and fatigue. Any recommendations for handling that with streaming? * I don't think I'm going to stream for 24+ hours straight, so much as for multiple days in a row until I hit some kind of goal. How long would be good to keep this up for if I don't hit my goals within a reasonable amount of time? * How do you market things like this? It's effectively going to be a GFM with streams attached hahah. This question can be ignored but I would still appreciate any advice folks can give * Any other advice not asked for here is also greatly appreciated <3

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Hi guys,

I'm a pretty new streamer. I have finally gotten my full setup- laptop, capture card, streamlabs. I've been fighting w software for a few months regarding a streaming overlay and I finally got it !

Now I have a new problem. I stream gameplay from ps5 to twitch. Usually I do this directly from ps5- my audio is recorded from the game, and my mic is connected to the headset I plug into the controller.

How do I get the audio to pass through the game into my stream AND my headphones, and how do I get the headphone mic (attatched to controller) to pick up on the stream?

For going live; do I just use streamlabs to twitch and bypass the ps5 broastcast?

Thanks guys! I will happy add my user if allowed :) I like playing BG3!

Hey so I’m a long time female gamer, very simple stuff I’m open to majority of all games depending on the storyline. And I wanted to start streaming people tell me all the time how funny I am and how great I’d be doing it but never tried. Don’t have many friends who game so I can’t ask anyone. How do I start streaming and what’s the step by step process I currently have a PS5 & Steam Deck (not the good one) so how do I start streaming and what’s the best console to do it on or do I need a PC? I’ll eventually get one just not now. What do I do? Help 🥺

Hello everyone! I’ve been building a new platform called EduStreamr after seeing how frustrating tipping can be for streamers—platforms like Twitch or YouTube take up to 30%, and payouts are delayed by weeks. EduStreamr uses blockchain to offer instant payouts and minimal fees, but without the usual crypto complexity—just log in with Google or email and go. It’s also designed to work smoothly with popular streaming software like OBS and Streamlabs, making integration effortless. Currently EduStreamr is still in the "testnet" stage so the currency used is worthless.

How to Use EduStreamr

For streamers

1. Go to https://edustreamr.xyz/ and click "Launch App".
2. Click "Connect" in the top right and log in with Google/email.
3. Click "Alert" in the sidebar, then copy and paste the Alert URL into OBS Browser Source (or simply drag and drop it for faster setup).
4. Go back to the Dashboard and share your Tip URL with your audience so they can send tips and messages.
5. (Optional) Register a username to shorten the URLs:
   • Click "Faucet" in the sidebar, then "Request" to receive free "EDU" coins (used for transactions).
   • Click "Settings", enter your desired username, and click "Register." Your URLs will now be shorter!
6. Additional features available after registering a username:
   • Customize alert duration (change how long alerts appear on screen).
   • Change widget colors (customize text and background colors for your alert).

For viewers

1. Open the Tip link shared by the streamer.
2. Click "Connect" in the top right and log in with Google/email.
3. Click "Request 0.01 EDU" to get testnet EDU coins for tipping.
4. Fill out the tip form (Name, Amount, Message).
5. Click "Send Tip" to support your favorite educational streamer!

We’re in beta testnet, and I’d love to get feedback from real streamers. If it sounds like something you’d want to test or weigh in on, feel free to check it out at EduStreamr and share your thoughts at Feedback Page!

Hello everyone, I’m a somewhat novice video editor and I’d like to gain more experience outside of making my own videos. I have a few questions on the topic!

So, I’m getting quite better at editing and I’m finding I really enjoy it to the point of where I actually want to do it freelance or even free for a little while.

How would one go about reaching out to streamers and offering my knowledge in editing? Is it realistic to do it for free? Is it something you can find it as a little side hustle in the long run? Is it weird to go to streamers and asking?

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I got suspended a month ago without reason and stupidly used my appeal to ask what the reason was for, got instantly rejected and the support team are not willing to help me. Is there anything i can do or am i just unable to go onto twitch ever again. I was just getting started on twitch streaming about to get affiliate and this ended up happening. Im not trying to bypass the suspension i just want to know if there is a way i can get unsuspended and i can not think of anything on stream that i couldve done in order to get suspended.

Hi everyone. We're looking for streamers that play Adventure or narrative games in the horror or mystery genre.

There are mainly 2 reasons for us to aks this. The first one is that we want to know about the newest games in the genres and to watch people playing this kind of games. The second is that we are developing a game in that genres. Watching others play will give us feedback about a lot of things like controls used, expectations, etc. And on the other hand, at some point we will need to ask streamers to play our game, so knowing them in advance is a plus.

Thanks in advance for the help!
