Live Streaming Instructions - hyvanmielenpelit/GnollHack GitHub Wiki

These are instructions on live streaming GnollHack games on Twitch or YouTube.

Twitch Settings

In Twitch, you need to enable Store past broadcasts in Account Settings -> Channel and Videos. Otherwise, Twitch does not save your streams for later watching.

YouTube Settings

In YouTube, please make sure that your account is activated for live streaming by visiting “Go Live” under the “+ video camera” icon. It may take up to 24 hours that your account is activated for live streaming. Remember that you should not stream more than 12 hours in one go. If you do, the stream will not be archived. You should rather divide your games into shorter streams.

You must Enable DVR in the additional settings of your stream so that YouTube saves your live stream.
