1st live Twitch Gladys Assistant this Monday 24th May at 9 AM in France!

Hello everyone!

Some of you have asked for Twitch live streams, and the first one is today at 9 a.m. (Monday, May 24)! :slight_smile:

The Gladys Assistant Twitch channel is available here

See you later on Twitch!

Just a reminder, the live stream starts in 10 minutes!! :slight_smile: See you soon!

I see you offline on Twitch

Yes it’s normal I’m not live yet :slight_smile:

For Twitch pros, what kind of category of content are you watching?

I don’t know anything about it, I only see games and nothing related to programming :stuck_out_tongue:

Science and Technology

Thanks @cicoub13, I’m starting the live stream with this

Some feedback:

  • The demos were great and the overall atmosphere is welcoming :muscle:
  • It’s cool to answer the chat’s questions between each demo
  • 20 viewers on average for a first Live is great. If you want to continue and gain more visibility, you should set up a regular appointment (once a week/month)
  • The sound is a bit choppy when you go to other sites (maybe saturated bandwidth)
  • I think it would be better to launch Gladys in dockerized mode to be closer to a classic installation
  • The video resolution of 460p is a shame, as users are used to HD streams (1080p or even 2440p)

Thanks @cicoub13 for the feedback! :slight_smile:

Indeed, 20 viewers for a first live was great, thanks to everyone who talked about it on the internet :smiley:

Oh dear :confused: Yet I was in a coworking space in a special call room connected via ethernet, normally I was on top in terms of network. I think it’s more the CPU of my machine that was lacking.

I know but on that I’m not sure I can do better ^^

Here’s what Twitch Studio says about my machine:

People are used to setups costing €20k, computers made for streaming, multi-screen and all, I’m on a 2016 MacBook (not bad for dev), but with no graphics card :stuck_out_tongue:

If there are more subscribers to Gladys Plus maybe one day I can do better :innocent:

Absolutely! But I also want to find the right balance. Most of the streamers you follow do nothing else, but if I dedicate too much time to streaming I won’t be able to dev anymore, respond to messages, or merge PRs. It’s a balance to find :slight_smile:

Hello,

It’s been a while since I last visited here, but I watched the live stream and I wanted to reply to @cicoub13 regarding their return:

  • Indeed, the sound was choppy, which is a shame
  • The Q&A was really nice, and I could truly see how Gladys has evolved (it’s been a while since I last used it)
  • As for the resolution, yes, when you can, do it in 1080p but with a not very high bitrate. Unfortunately, when you’re not a Twitch partner, viewers don’t always have the choice of quality, and therefore, it’s problematic for the smaller connections.

A regular appointment would be great, but always with a small objective to achieve live, I think, to attract more people.

For Twitch experts, is it possible to rewatch the live stream (like on YouTube)?

I can’t find it, maybe it’s still being processed, I don’t know

Normally you go to the video studio, you look for the previous broadcast and you click on the three small dots and → export or download

There are no « Previous Broadcasts Â» tabs for me.

I searched the internet, apparently there is an option deep in the settings that is unchecked by default and needs to be checked for the stream to be recorded, I think the stream is lost ^^ It’s a shame!

I wonder, why Twitch and not YouTube Live? I had done YouTube lives in the past, and on an even older Mac I was able to stream in 720p without problems. And the advantage is that on YouTube the project already has over 2000 followers :slight_smile:

Twitch and YouTube Live offer more interaction with viewers compared to videos. From my perspective, Twitch doesn’t have a major advantage, especially if there’s already a community on YouTube.

Ok! Next time I’ll limit it, so I can test YouTube Live, and we’ll compare in terms of stream quality/general experience :slight_smile:

In a perfect world, I know some streamers stream on both platforms at the same time, but well, my computer is already struggling with one stream, so two streams is impossible :stuck_out_tongue:

So I’m going to do a YouTube live stream tomorrow to test, same topic since the other live stream was lost, I’m sure other people would have wanted to attend the live stream but couldn’t :slight_smile: And this time there will be a replay!

I don’t know if you know Restream.io, it’s a service that allows you to stream to several other platforms simultaneously while only having one outgoing stream from your computer.

Cool! I’ll check it out :slight_smile:
