Streaming updates
By goz
Because I love to tinker, I set up a complete restream set up along with chat this past weekend.
Watch my stream how you want
There are now three places to watch my stream:
- Goz’s Streaming Server - This is my Owncast server that currently lives on Amazon EC2. The link will only work when I’m streaming. No accounts are needed to watch or chat.
- Twitch - Twitch.tv, in all its glory
- YouTube Streaming - My YouTube channel.
You’re no longer restricted to just Twitch.
Chatting
I’m experimenting with SocialStream, an open source Chrome extension that consolidates the chat across all of these platforms and combines them in the stream. This means you can chat on any of the above services and be included in the stream.
You can also join the chat on IRC through Libera on the channel ##gozgeek. You can access it from [KiwiIRC](https://kiwiirc. com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat/##gozgeek) if you don’t use IRC.
First attempt is Tuesday (April 18th) night
Tomorrow night will be my first attempt at this set up. I don’t know how well it’s going to work, but hey, it will be fun. Hope to see you there at 7:30pm EST on April 18th. The status of my stream is also on my website and on my live page.
