Ask HN: Are you a Twitch.tv streamer?
I have a few questions about streaming that I couldn't seem to find on the Twitch website if somebody wouldn't mind taking the time to help answer them.
Must your streams be live or do you have the option to upload video?
Must streams be screeen casts or can you stream off a webcam?
Can you charge for special videos like exclusive content? All I see is that subscribers can pay for private chats and emoticons and stuff like that, but I'm wondering about actual pay per view videos, such as if there's a particularly imporatant gaming tournament that you would like to charge streaming viewers. Are there other services that offer this that work with Twitch?
Can you do multiple streams at once? Such as a stream of your screen and another stream from a webcam of you playing?
- detaro 11y agoYou can't upload video, but past streams can be watched independently if you allow it or published to the stream again as a repeat. Webcam-only streams are fine. charging money: http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/735176-subscription-beta-program http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/735176-subscr...
- cjbprime 11y agoYou can't do multiple streams -- people use a green screen to grab an image of themselves from a webcam and overlay it over the game display.
