Crafty Twitch Stream
As mentioned before, I am working to increase my live streaming presence, in many cases on Twitch. I have been streaming a number of times recently from my 3d printer, just a steady view of the printer at work with some status graphics – nothing too engaging, but simple to do. Recently, I have been…

Audio challenge
So the problem I have been trying to solve with our live streams is the ability to reliably include Discord in the recording and broadcast, and maintain the overall quality. This sounds easy, but has been a riddle for many weeks. Most likely I am just not understanding how the pieces go together. For our…

Twitch printing
Entirely new side project, I am working on a way to auto-stream 3d printing progress via Twitch. Not that there is a big audience to watch a printer run for 24 hours, but there might be some curiousity. Really, it is just an exercise to see if I can do it – I already have…

Certainly there are still technical challenges to be had, but the content itself is solid. These are published directly to YouTube,…

This is an unlisted YouTube live stream, not looking for a larger audience, but I am eager to hear about any feedback both pro and con with the configuration. My bigger concern is really at…

Stream Technical Test
With my professional life in IT support, I have a desire to test and verify all technology, especially when it is new – or at least a new process. To that end, I am planning on scheduling a pre-campaign live stream to test the configuration, tools, and options. Consider it a Session 0 for the…
