Hi, so a little bit of a rant but also, geniune question(s) (beare with me it's a long one, sorry):

I recently decided to move from a single PC streaming setup (but with an egpu instead of my main GPU) to a dual PC setup (a minisForum UM790 pro with an egpu).

Little did I know, Windows' multi monitor support is complete ASS.

So understand my surprise when I didn't test the setup, and discover that my capture card source had an audio delay, and when experimenting, I was shocked to notice huge frame drops/stutters/rubberbanding.

(for a bit more context here's my setup:
Gaming PC:

• Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• RTX 3080 Ti FE
• Displayport to my main monitor (Alienware AW2725DF at 1440p 359,98Hz (a whole number would be too simple, and it will come back to bite my ass...)
• Displayport to HDMI cable outputs from the gaming PC and goes into the Elgato 4K S connected to my Streaming PC via USB C (USB4 port) (at 1440p 59,95Hz (not 60Hz because the signal becomes 2160p but downscales the desktop to 1440p and it's pretty ugly)

Streaming PC:

• Minisforum UM790 Pro
• Ryzen 9 7940HS / Radeon 780M (iGPU disabled)
• RTX 2070 eGPU via Thunderbolt (USB4)
• Elgato 4K X/S connected over USB4 (Tested an Avermedia Live Gamer Ultra S in USB 3.1, same problem)
• HDMI to Displayport to my second monitor (ASUS VG27B 143,97Hz)
• HDMI to Generic portable 1080p 60Hz monitor (portrait)

The gaming pc has a portable OBS instance (I called OBShareAudio) that would, at first, only be dedicated to transmit audio from my pc to the streaming PC by capturing the default audio device and monitoring it to the elgato HDMI (didn''t want to lose the audio control of my speakers and the hassle of vb-cable/Voicemeeter) and only open when the streaming PC is ON and automatically change it's settings to always make the audio monitor device be the elgato HDMI (with scripts (just to be sure))

Then I tested OBS Teleport, I still got the stutters issue with monitor capture source, but not (that I noticed) with game capture, but:
1 the setup is not ideal as when enabling capture full screen apps would not detect some games
2 the quality is really not Ideal

Then I tried to use extended display mode instead of duplicate on the gaming PC, and transform the OBShareAudio into OBShare: I added a monitor capture and project the preview to the second monitor (elgato), but to no avail, I still get those stutters...

And now, see me as I am, no longer pissed at the capture card, but Windows, because I now have the forbidden knowledge of how Windows' DWM works, it only syncs to one monitor refresh rate and so it has to drop frames for the second monitor, BUT OF COURSE it only works when the refresh rates are intergers(?), if my monitor was 360Hz and the capture card 60Hz it would be divided by 6 and because of some time clock sync harmonisation bs, it just goes into seizure...
(well, that's what I understood from what I've read)

So here's the questions:
Is there ANY solution to that, apart from switching to Linux, using some nvidiainspector tweaks that don't work or buying a 500!!$ HDMI downscaler? NDI maybee, but because of how OBS Teleport acted, I don't have any hopes...
And why Linux doesn't have this issue?(or have I dreamed that fact?)

(sorry for the whole book I wrote, I'm just fustrated...)

It was my first time streaming using tiktok live studio and I don’t know how to get rid of the camera crossed out over the screen? The stream was playing behind it but I’m not sure what’s up

790093 download code is not working. Anyone know another code or a similar service?

So when I got this message I indeed went live 1 time for 25 minutes. It still says the same message, does that mean I need to wait for 48h now or did the live not go through and should I do another? I apologise for the silly question and the terrible photo, I’m just a noob. I don’t want to wait 48h and have it be that I didn’t fulfil something or that the live didn’t register.

Thankyou so much! I only started streaming a few days ago.

Just got into streaming and I was trying to add a spotify widget. I got the error "rate limit reached" I have no idea what this means and google did a iffy job on explaining it. Anyone know what I could do to fix the issue?

Instead of simple donations, I want to incentivize people to buy my music on Bandcamp in order to achieve milestone goals. Whenever someone purchases something on my Bandcamp, I get both an email, and a notification on my Paypal.

Is there any way to display this on stream in realtime so I can keep track of the milestone? Or is there any way to do a similar thing?

I have Streamlabs and regular OBS, if that helps.

Basically, my partner and I want to do couch co op streaming where game audio is still coming from the TV and we're seated next to each other on the couch. If anybody remembers GTLive, kinda like how that was originally set up?

I made a super rough diagram of the plan, and was hoping someone could suggest some mic options that could work?

The mic at the top of my list is the Shure MV7X as it’s under the same company that makes the Shure SM7B. Is this a good option around this price point?

Additionally, I am very new when it comes to audio mixing and processing so if there are more beginner friendly options I would love some suggestions.

Preferably good at canceling lots of background noise as I have a fan that produces noticeable sound in my videos. Thanks! 🙏

Hello r/streaming!

So, I have a i5-6500 and a Nvidia Quadro K2200. When I try recording or streaming, my FPS tanks. The only program I can use without problems for recording is NVIDIA itself. What should I do if I want to stream?

Thanks,

So, I want to do something a little different, I’m planning on doing a manual swap on my car, it’s for a car that’s had these swaps done before but nobody has made a series of videos going through the whole process, it’s all just old forum pages and stuff, but I also want to live stream it as well, I wanna capture POV as the main, like a small camera on a headband that sends a signal to my laptop that streams to twitch, that also has a webcam showing the whole car in the corner of the screen, what gear and software would I need to do all of that? Both for the streaming and recording and the video editing afterwards so I can post a refined version on YouTube? Please note that I would prefer to do this on a budget if possible

Is there a way to auto clip something without me taking my hands off my controller because my computer is super slow so whenever I go to clip a funny moment I have to immediately try and balance still playing and whatnot with taking a clip I'm on twitch

After many months of thinking about content creation, I have finally decided to go down this path. As a collage student I tried my best with my set up but if there is anything else you think I need I would greatly appreciate the advice, that and also advice on how to talk to yourself.

For a while now I have been using my iPhone 15pro to live stream our HS Marching Band from the announcers booth. It's only a few minutes long so the iPhone was ok. This year I may have to live stream a full 12 hour day of 32+ performances. I have the software, Mac, and website all set.

I need some recommendations on a camera / microphone setup. I'm not looking for a professional set up but something that looks and sounds pretty good. Budget is under $700

I have streamed for 2 years now with mild growth on Twitch, and recently swapped to YouTube where I've found some better success. I'm at a crossroads as to which game should be my "Primer" based on what's better for streams. The two games I have contending are Warframe and Black Desert.

Warframe gas done well for me in the shorts department, but when it comes to live streams there's anywhere from 0-4 people that pop in and out. Post stream views average around 20. The gameplay loop is fun and you can explore a lot with builds, but getting people to watch is the main issue.

Black Desert has surprisingly done well when it comes to YouTube streaming. Whenever I stream I'll have 2-8 concurrent viewers throughout stream. It's not the best content for clipping YoutTube Shorts, but the photo mode makes it very easy to make videos from any angle. The gameplay loop is more restrictive and repetitive, but players seems to enjoy the grind.

I want to grow more on YouTube and taking my next step very seriously. Which game should I stick with as my main while growing on YT?

I am really trying to get into streaming on kick but the browser cameras are mirrored and theres no settings to changed things that I can see. Maybe Im just blind but its not very intuitive like other in browser streaming pages Ive been using. Please help if you have insight.

I want to stream a video game tournament broadcast with my MacBook Pro.

I have three Thunderbolt 5 ports to play with, all with their own controllers. The problem comes in where I need more than three ports to achieve what I’d like. The devices I need to be plugged in are:

1. A USB 3.0 Capture Card
   
2. An externally powered USB 2.0 Audio Interface for microphones
   
3. A USB 2.0 Webcam
   
4. A second USB 2.0 Webcam
   
5. An Ethernet Adapter
   
6. A mouse
   
7. A projector

Here’s my plan:

The USB 3.0 Capture Card will have its own Thunderbolt port. That one is gone.

I’ll put an externally powered Thunderbolt 3 docking station in the second port. It has two USB 2.0 ports, and four USB 3.0 ports, so it stands to reason that it has at least two USB Controllers, right? I’ll plug the two webcams into this. One into a USB 3.0 port and one into the USB 2.0 port. Hopefully this solves any power/bandwidth issues.

I have a bus powered USB 3.0 multi hub that I’ll plug into the third port. I’ll plug the audio interface and mouse into this one. Since the audio interface is externally powered, and both are low bandwidth devices, I’m hoping this will work.

Both the multihub, and the Thunderbolt 3 dock have an Ethernet port. Which should I plug into? My gut is telling me the Thunderbolt 3 dock because it’s externally powered, but I’m also worried I’ll run into power draw issues with the webcams.

Also! My MacBook Pro has an HDMI port built in. Should I use this one? Is there any advantage to using the one in the multihub or Thunderbolt Docking station?

I’m in a situation where I may not be able to start testing the set up until close to the tournament day, so I’m asking in advance because if there’s something obvious I’m missing, I’m hoping y’all can point it out haha.

I recently setup a secondary PC for music streaming, installed Linux mint OS on a friend's recommendation. Any advice/recommendations will be appreciated. 🙂

I only have experience of streaming games on twitch with se.live so far, I'm guessing standard OBS is my best option for streaming currently? (I'll probably aim to stream on twitch initially but I'm open to potentially multi streaming in the future)

So im getting off a rotation and i was using my laptop to stream and game on, well i have a built desk top at home i was curious if there is some way i can use my laptop to run my obs and game on my desktop being my obs on my desktop isnt setup like the one on my laptop. Thanks in advance im still new to this stuff.

Hello all,

I'm looking to stream for my friends who suggested I stream my World of Warcraft content. Has anyone used a MacBook for this and have feedback with how it went for them? I'm using a MacBook Pro m4 512 gb ssd - 16 gb RAM.
I use an external monitor (1440p) which I imagine will have already lowered my GPUs ability to stream.
I'd probably just use the built in Mac camera for video (don't care for it to be great quality).

Is this a bad idea to try streaming content while playing WoW - will this greatly reduce my FPS in game and/or will my MacBook overheat and explode?

Thanks,

Hola! Tengo una notebook con un Intel Core i3-1115G4. Estaba pensando en comprar una capturadora y hacer streaming de mi PS5. Que tan viable es? Se va a ver bien o voy a tener problemas de calidad?

Looking for advice for streaming / obs

Starting streaming during the pandemic - since going back to work it’s been spotty.

I have a hundred ideas. decent at games but my personality / party is my draw.

I have a stream deck with keys set up for editing on divinci resolve. Working on some obs keys.

I have over 300 followers. Mostly from my pandemic era but want to get back into it hard and would like advice on streamlining.

I have 2 monitors. One for my pc and one for my p5. I also have a tv for a side monitor.

Stream deck and pedal.

MK wave mic (pc can’t support its latest softwear)

Mac book 2015

Older windows PC that doesn’t support all the new softwear but run the stream fine - better than the Mac book.

Looking to streamline the process of playing , yapping, clipping and editing. What plug ins should I get.

Not looking for the easy way but whatever o can do to make it simpler would be nice. Suggestions?
