A: Getting your resolution and bitrate for streaming is the most important part of streaming as a creator. This helps define you as a creator and, of course, the higher quality/smoother the gameplay, the better. We've taken an image from the Twitch support site that contains all you need to know about this section.
A: So, when using OBS/SLOBS, it defaults to setting your audio as a global setting, meaning this overrides all your scene settings. In order to fix this, see below:
Go into your settings
Go to Audio
There will be two module boxes, one to talk about channels and the bottom to show Audio and Mic devices. Here, you will need to disable:
Audio Device 1
Audio Device 2
Mic/Auxillary Device 1
Mic/Auxillary Device 2
Mic/Auxillary Device 3
Now hit DONE in the bottom right.
Now, in order to set up your Desktop Audio in separate scenes, go to the scene in question, i.e. your NOW Live scene and do the following:
For Desktop Audio (Games, Music, Discord etc), add new source and select AUDIO OUTPUT CAPTURE. Label it whichever is easiest for you to identify and then select your output to be whichever is set to your general output, whether it's speakers, headset, earphones etc. This is where your game/Discord audio is going to.
Now, in order to set up your Mic Input in separate scenes, go to the scene in question, i.e. your NOW Live scene and do the following:
Add a new source and select AUDIO INPUT CAPTURE. Label it whichever is easiest for you to identify and then select your primary mic input, whether it's a USB, Line In or other. Then hit DONE in the bottom right corner.
A: First, you gotta make sure that your Discord account is linked to Twitch. you can do this by going to the following location:
1) Go to settings
2) Select on Connections
3) Click on Twitch and link the accounts together.
Additionally, make sure you have the Streamer Mode enables too. This can be found in your Settings also.
The bot will only pick you up if your Discord recognises you are streaming. If it still doesn't pick you up, ping @MD Staff to have them double check (and post your account info too). Either that or the API is down again, which is nothing that can be done.
A: Quite simply put, the bot cannot post if you are live on YouTube, sorry. You'll need to manually post to the #youtube-family channel.
