Considering Other Streaming Services - Opinions Welcomed!
11 years ago
Updated queue and so forth.
Some of these projects are immediate, some are long term. This is mostly for my reference and for my commissioners.

So, when I went to try and run my stream this morning, livestream was down. It has been giving me a lot of problems lately in general, and if they persist I may have to consider moving my stream to a new service.
Many folks have recommended Tigerdile, but initially I did not want to consider it because viewers have to click through an 18+ confirmation page to reach your stream - and as of a year ago, I do not stream or accept commissions of adult artwork. A few of my stream regulars are underage or uncomfortable with adult material as well. I see that Tigerdile has a SFW mode now, but that the site has been flagged by paypal, and the FAQ still states that the site is for adults only. What do you guys think - is the SFW mode secure enough? Additionally, I see that viewers have to login to not only participate in the chat but even see it, and I'm not a fan of that model of stream participation. (I want my viewers to go through as little effort as possible to be allowed to participate.) I do like that you can customize your offline screen image though, as well as have a banner and description. I am weighing the pros and cons and trying to consider it carefully.
Are there any other streaming services you guys would recommend? I have used Ustream (yuck) and Livestream in the past. I do not like the format of Join.me for art streaming purposes. Anything beyond that... suggest away!
Commissions are currently: Closed.
Other than in stream or when prior arrangement is made, work is not done on a commission until AFTER payment is received! (Only blanket exceptions are fursuit work (paid in installments) and Avarice work.) Queue spots are only set in stone when payment is received, be it full payment or some form of deposit. Unpaid slots can be added to the queue, but when they are paid jump above any other unpaid slots.

I use tigerdile and I like it, but I dont know about the SFW settings too much. If you want you can talk to on of the admins about it, like 
mountaingoat for your questions. He's really friendly so I'm sure he'll answer any questions you may have :)

If you're JUST doing art, Picarto, definitely. Just be sure to read their ToS thoroughly beforehand. I've even gotten XSplit to work with it, thanks to help from Wolfblade.
Tigerdile has guest chat now too, last i saw.
I would invite you to check out TigerDile again. You can flag your stream as SFW and then you'll get a SFW URL that you can post which won't have the click-through age verification. They fixed the issues with paypal if I remember and there is guest chat now too.

OP
I am reconsidering it due to the SFW additions, definitely. :) How does one access the guest chat for a stream? I was browsing through streams and only saw the message about logging in at the top of a white rectangle where the chat would sit.
There is a text box for someone to enter a name and then they click "Go" beside it where the chat should be. (Below the notice to log in)
