Private streaming via Skype option
8 years ago
Well, what do I have to say...
Hey everyone. This is just a quick "technical" journal for everyone interested in a private 1 on 1 stream.
Since you can't really do private ones on Picarto aside not announcing it (which still means quite a few people pop in, which I don't mind, hope ya have fun ^..^) I'll have to use a bit of a work around.
Skype is a good option here as it has relatively good "low bitrate" options for screen sharing and isn't too much a resource hog.
For that I think I will dust off my old commission Skype account.
For those on Discord, I can also use that as soon as the video chat features is implemented which is supposed to come this year. Note, I don't really use Discord yet so don't ask for contact data just yet .
And yea, other streams will still be on Picarto
PS: I did use "Join.me" before but I hate it. It ALWAYS makes my stuff stutter and always outputs at a high bitrate which just doesn't work well with my connection.

Telegram is implementing video chat, but only in Europe right now I think. I've used it not yet.

I do a few now and then but didn't "open" officially, though I do plan to do some open streams now and then again. However as said arranging private ones is an option too.

I tried a private stream on Ustream once. Got banned for not having a shirt on while making music.
