3Speak Live Streaming before GTA6! by @tibfox on 3Speak

Some features take a weekend. Live streaming took a lot longer, and today I finally get to say it: anyone with a Hive account can now go live on 3Speak. No extra software, no stream keys, no third-...

Hello and welcome to the first live stream here on ThreeSpeak. I know I have made a test already and Mino did a lot of tests already, but this is the new live stream feature now on ThreeSpeak. After this live stream, I will activate it for every one of you. And in this live stream and VOD recording, if you are coming after the stream ended, I will cover the streams and I will also cover the new 3Spek 2.0 update. So first of all, this is pretty exciting. I am pretty nervous because I hope that the whole start steps all over the time, so bear with me. Yeah, so I have prepared something because I want to be a little bit more professional in this stream here. Let us jump right into it. Hello, hi. As I've said, this is the first real stream, straight from my browser. It is also working on a mobile phone on the go, and I tested it. It worked like charm, a real vertical streaming feeling. It's recorded, so as I've said, if you are watching this post after the stream ended, then you will watch a video on demand, and everyone is able to use this functionality. Now, live streaming is huge by itself. It is done with four simple steps, and I will cover the live streaming setup in my browser in a few moments. This stream is published on Hive, but you can also unlist the stream and share it with other people. You can also lock streams for Hive internals only, so people need to log in, but this is something we need to work on for the ambit player, but it is working. The viewers can boost you, can... send boost tips to your stream and their message will appear on top of this live stream. This is done with HBD and Hive. And you can activate and deactivate and you can also set a minimum for boost messages to appear on the screen. A live stream is posted as a Hive post. So, of course, you can see it on every Hive front end. including of course 3Speak TV on 3Speak TV in a video ad role in the beginning and also ticker ads are going at the top and I think also banners are placed at the bottom and now I give you a little overview of the streaming setup this is the streaming studio in the browser I can change scenes here I can edit the camera position, I can also edit the camera size, I can zoom in, I can zoom out, whatever I want, I can do everything I want, and I can also add new sources. And there something important comes in. Streaming via the browser is best supported by Chromium browsers. So Chrome, Brave, Edge, they all can capture your screen audio. Let me quickly show this to you. Wait a second, need to put this again, and then we go to this video of Kalen. I just want to mention that I am drinking a little bit of coffee again. Of course, can hear his voice. So, this is only possible with chromium. All the other things are pretty self-explanatory. Then you can, of course, end the stream, start the stream. You can edit your post here, but there is a step before you actually get into the studio where you can write your post. I have seen someone is in the chat. Hey, chat. That's pretty cool. If you have any questions about the stream studio, if you miss any features, if you think things could be different, just let me know in the comments and I will get... get it done as soon as possible now let us quickly go over the important restrictions non-premium users so the majority of the three speak tv users have 30-minute streams per day and also of course a 30 -minute VOD upload per day Pro users will earn four hours of streaming and four hours of VOD, and they also get the OBS streaming. So you can literally open OBS, click, start stream, and of course you need to configure stuff before that, and then you will stream on Hive, or on three speak, and your post will get posted to Hive. The issue is that OBS streaming takes up a lot of resources on our servers, and that's why we also restricted this. route. But if you use Chromium, you can stream your games, just simply. Yeah, let's go further. Why we are doing live streaming on 3Speak now. Yeah, of course, just another kind of media we are putting on 3Speak, and that's because everyone, like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, but also other platforms integrate video. obviously. Video is the biggest driver on social media, and since we are a video platform and we still lack users, we integrate a lot of things like audio, short, stories, and now also live, to onboard other people, onboard niches that could need something like ThreeSpeak and the Hive blockchain. So we onboard musicians, podcasters, and now we also are targeting streamers. And the bigger picture of all of this is more people will know Hive, more investors will see the potential, and huge goals behind all that. Yeah, there are huge goals behind all that, of course, because we are driving the bus that is picking up new passengers. That's just a metaphor that you can, you know, we want to onboard people on Hive. So we need to have front ends. They just don't know it yet. And with integrating more kind of media, like podcasters talking about their podcast platform, which is 3Spe, and all of that, we are hoping to onboard more and more people. And we have a super cool and super slick onboarding solution on 3Spec right now. It is not published widely on Hive, but it is working. We have onboarded eight people already, and I will make a dedicated video about it. So, yeah. our goal is definitely to onboard people to Hive, to get a more vibrant ecosystem, and of course, to get some investors to the Hivecoin and hopefully raising the price a little bit for us. Now I just want to quickly talk about 3Speak 2.0. Today we have launched 3Speak 2.0. I will quickly jump back to here. This is 3Speak 2.0. we have made it super slick. I think I really love it. I love this new design. I won't go into detail here, but make sure to check out 3Speak TV from today on. It is just amazing. For us, developers, it's super cool because all the components, they all have, or all the... things here, they all use components and predefined components that we can reuse. So we do not need to invent the wheel all over again. That happened in the past a lot. And yeah, I made a huge PR this, yeah, at the lunch break. And yeah, I'm super, super stoked about it. Now, of course, why we do a redesign, because the first second you're going to a platform decides if you will stay there. This decision could change, but the majority of users won't go to this platform anymore because the name is only branding into your mind or into your brain if the platform is cool. raises something in you. Setting a fire is important for new users. And if you go to this website, to this landing page, I think it is looking way, way cooler than before. So, you only have one chance with newcomers. Of course, it was important to add tests and bug fixing, and also we improved the speed of the platform. a lot by doing some cool techniques clout recommended and it worked and one important thing is features bring people in like audio streaming and all that stuff and polishing keeps them if the platform is looking good if the platform is worth sharing with your friends because it looks super cool then you will stay there because you have your friends there and you have more time on the platform itself, you engage more with other people, you build relationships and all that stuff. So a nice-looking, a bug-fixed platform is super important. And that's why we did 3-Speak 2 .0. Now, it's up to you. Try it yourself. I only have 18 minutes left. So it is up to you. Go live. or start a group session. That's something I want to quickly show you to you. If you go to create, you have group chat as well. There you can invite people, and you can sadly, this stop because of time zone differences and basically workload and free time. But you can just hop on a chat with other people, just like on Discord, you know, and have a group chat. You can also publish this on Hive, obviously. the layout will look a little bit different, but in the end, it's the base, it's the same base code. And if you want to go live, just go create, go live, and just try it out. As I've said, it's best in Chromium browsers. That's super important. Use Chromium. I do not use Chromium at all in my normal life, but I installed Chromium just for the stream because it is way better, way smoother, and you can share your desktop audio. That's an important fact. And, of course, feedback is welcome. In the chat, I see one guys watching the stream, but it's not chatting with me. Hey, hey. That's cool, no pressure. But if you see this stream now and you want to give feedback to me, then please give me feedback in the comments. Also on all my upcoming posts, just write me in the comments, whatever you want, whatever you need, whatever you stumbled upon as a background 3 speak, and I will fix it as soon as possible. Of course, also check out the blog posts of Maticia Soft. I will give you a link. There you go. Madikia Soft is the organization where I am coding with Meno. and a few other people, but they are not active anymore so often. But, yeah, Mino and I, we are coding for Snappy and for ThreeSpeak, and we are putting our code onto MontecaSoft and GitHub. And here you have the new post about the new layout, about all the cool things. Of course, not everything is covered, but there's a lot of information in here, and it would be cool to also have your feedback together with these other people. I will reply later. Yeah, thank you for watching the stream. Thank you for trying it out. Thank you for spreading it, sharing with your friends, and tell your grandma about 3Speak TV. She now can stream her cooking streams also here. Thanks for watching, and I hope we see us back very soon. Bye-bye. And now I have to stop the stream.

Werde es demnächst auch mal ausprobieren!! Eventuell bringt es alle Streamer von twich und Co zurück, die leider von den Top Witnesses hier auf Hive vertrieben wurden! Lg 🤠

@emmanuel50: This is really nice! I noticed some changes to the 3Speak interface today, and I must say I love how it looks. Uploading my video was also very easy. This new live streaming feature is another great addition, especially with the way viewers can support creators and even earn rewards by watching. I can see the effort you have been putting into making 3Speak better, and it's good to see these improvements. Keep up the good work!
