How to Livestream?
13 years ago
I just got my claws on a pretty impressive drawing tablet. That, coupled with a computer microphone and editing equipment means I potentially have all of the components to do a livestream show.
Now....how do I go about doing that?
I already found the livestream site, and I assume I'll need to set up an account. But what are the specifics? Should I record the voice on the PC being used to draw, or a separate one? And hell, does anyone even care to watch me work or should I not even bother?

You will have to learn the audio mixer's foibles. Specifically, you may, on any given session, have to add an audio stream from your microphone. Especially if you unplug your mic when it's not in use, or it just patched. This isn't an evil conspiracy. It's just trying to avoid guessing at whether or not you want to broadcast with a mic. Nice program doesn't want you accidentally playing your flatmate's porn audio from your webcam while you're showing off, say, some voice synth app singing MLP songs. There's a few minor quibbles I have with the app, like "why can't I set up the audio before I start?" but since you don't hear the output on the PC you're using to broadcast... honestly, most of my issues with the service are either avoiding needless complexity, mitigating technical improbability, or about not setting the user up for worse disasters.
That and, like any city, the street signs aren't where you can see them until you know where they are at.
Oh, and don't store a ton of old vids. Evidently, they charge for storage above a certain amount. Or used to.
