2.6 Live streaming your video

For those who want to livestream (to a platform such as Twitch), you can click on “Start Streaming”.

NOTE: You can stream and record your video at the same time. To do so, you must also click “Start Recording”. You do not want to lose your livestream video because you forgot to record it. Also, be sure your computer has enough hard drive space to save the video!

Below is a animation showing OBS and Twitch while I manipulate SumatraPDF. I start the animation out in OBS where I start streaming and recording. I then jump into SumatraPDF followed by showing you my Twitch channel that has my livestream.

Here you can see some of the MSU eSports crew connect to my livestream and jump into chat.
