Q: What is the best resolution/bitrate to stream with to Twitch/YouTube?
Q: What is the best resolution/bitrate to stream with to Twitch/YouTube?
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.
Q: What is the best Video format and resolution/bitrate to recording?
Q: What is the best Video format and resolution/bitrate to recording?
A: Getting your resolution and bitrate for recording is the most important part of recording as a creator. (also use the same resolution/bitrate as streaming)
Use the video file format of MKV as it can be open while recording for bodycam info and if you crush the video will be fine and the no video will not get lost by the crush.
Q: How do I make my scenes silent, but my live scene have my audio?
Q: How do I make my scenes silent, but my live scene have my audio?
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.
Q: Why does the bot not detect when I go live on Twitch/YouTube?
Q: Why does the bot not detect when I go live on Twitch/YouTube?
A: you make a ticket and put your Twitch/YouTube/Kick URL in the ticket, so the founder can add it to the bot, to linked account with the bot.
A: you have to make sure that your Discord account is linked to Twitch/YouTube. You can do this by going to the following location:
1) Go to settings
2) Select on Connections
3) Click on Twitch/YouTube 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, make a ticket. Either that or the API is down again, which is nothing that can be done.

FAQ
Q: Where can I find the graphics and logos I need for streaming?
Q: Where can I find the graphics and logos I need for streaming?
A: The Media Team has created a folder on Google Drive that contains the logo and other graphics you may need. This can be found here.
Q: When do applications open, and how long does it take to hear back?
Q: When do applications open, and how long does it take to hear back?
A: There is no need to apply for Media Division, once you are a member of the community, you can begin making content!
Q: People use OBS and Streamlabs OBS. What's the difference?
Q: People use OBS and Streamlabs OBS. What's the difference?
A: OBS is essentially the bare-bones basic of streaming. It's like the original to streaming tools. It's a little easier on your PC performance and great if you're not interested in anything advanced or fancy and your goal is record and shoot.
Streamlabs OBS however is far advanced and features all the fun things you see with Twitch streamers, such as custom alerts, the labels of latest followers and so much more. We recommend Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS) for a far more professional and entertaining look.
Q: Some people use mics in their headsets and others use ones that are separate. What are these and are they any better?
Q: Some people use mics in their headsets and others use ones that are separate. What are these and are they any better?
A: There are two different types, essentially. There are the Mics that are built into their headsets, which is great if you're limited on space, both on the desk and PC ports. The Mics you see floating on a boom arm are either separate USB/Line In mics or most commonly these are condenser XLR Mics, like the ones you probably used in Music Studies in high-school.
The XLR Mics offer the ability to be plugged into Hardware and are of far higher quality as they are not tightly compacted into the Headset like your standard headset microphone. To obtain the hardware, this does cost a bit more than your standard all-in-one headset and there may be fees for licences, depending on the software you go for, so always research, but you purchase.
Q: How do I advertise that I'm to live without sounding desperate?
Q: How do I advertise that I'm to live without sounding desperate?
A: Twitter and Discord are your best bet at the moment.
If you are using Streamlabs OBS, there's a way you can link your X (formerly known as Twitter) account to post when you go live, so you don't have to. Either that or you go old school, and you post manually that you are live, and you keep doing this every time. Don't ask/beg people to join, just say something like “I'm now live, playing ____ <link>”.
As for discords, there are a ton of community Discords available where you can self promote or join a team that will promote you. Alternatively, partnering up with other people, being interactive and making friends (funnily enough) will get you a very long way.
Q: If I stream a different game to FiveM and then, during the stream, switch to AutumnWood RP, will it still count?
Q: If I stream a different game to FiveM and then, during the stream, switch to AutumnWood RP, will it still count?
A: No, sadly not, and this is a limitation to the way Discord Bots post when you go live.
How it works is the Twitch API sends a push notification out to bots that listen for it, which is why they post when someone goes live, and that's the keyword, goes. Of course, the API doesn't know when/if you switch games and as such, won't post again. The Media Division Database can only detect the push notification of you going live, not switching games.
So unfortunately, the only way for your AutumnWood RP stream to count is if you stop and restart the stream after fixing your title to have AutumnWood RP in it.
