Title: How To stream
Post by: RogerChampagne on January 30, 2014, 09:26:34 am
Sorry for posting this because im sure there is a post all ready but im being lazy.  But heres my question.  How do you stream on twitch and what is the best way to do it.  My source of playing the game is MAME on the computer and i have a web cam as an option of streaming but if i can do it with out using the web cam would be nice but if its better and faster for my computer to use the web cam i will obviously do it.  and i dont think this computer is that fast so web cam might be my only option and im using windows vista Thanks everybody

To stream on Twitch/Justin you will need a program like OBS (Open Broadcast Software) or X-Split and of course a twitch/Justin account, they are both free to download.

here is a link to a video showing how to set up OBS (what I use)

^^^ That's the same video I used when I first downloaded OBS.  I highly recommended it over XSplit, but that's because I always experienced terrible lag and dropped frames with XSplit.  I have found OBS to be much easier to use.  Good luck to the OP, and let us know if you're having any success or trouble setting up your stream.
