Alternatively, if you don't care about having an audience, you can just do private livestreams directly to YouTube via OBS. After your stream is concluded, it saves the livestream as a VOD. With this method, you don't have to worry about storing large video files when recording yourself.
Also, because it's YouTube, you inherit all of the benefits YouTube provides. You get the added benefit of having closed captioning for your videos after processing. You can watch through your recordings at 2x speed. And of course, you can share VODs to other people if you ever need to.
I've been treating YouTube as a personalized streaming website with free, unlimited storage.
If you do end up doing this, make sure to avoid any copyrighted content (Netflix, official music, etc.), otherwise YouTube will copyright strike your channel.
- jokab 6y agoI also considered this in the past but sometimes, I slip into procrastination mode unintentionally and might check my bank account (or pornhub) once in a while. So thinking my video is uploaded to somebody else's computer gives me the shivers.
- mantap 6y agoHave a user account just for streaming. Then you can block any sites that you don't want shown.
- PaulRobinson 6y agoIt seems the point of doing this is it stops you procrastinating, because you're pretending to be a hot shot twitch streamer. If it were a live stream, you wouldn't start watching porn, you'd stay focused. Basically the productivity tip is to pretend you're already productive.
- jokab 6y agoFair point. But sometimes the pretending part fades away when I get to the "flow". When that happens, I usually forget OBS was even running way after the task was done. If it were Twitch stream, I imagine somebody from the chat window would remind me to put my d* away
