Streamyard is the service MLH uses to stream to Twitch, Facebook, and Youtube simultaneously. You can control graphics, layouts, and invite hackers to stream with you. All from the browser.
- Hit the Create a Broadcast button
- Select which platforms you’d like to stream to (typically all of them)
- Give your broadcast a title that will stand the test of time
- “Marbles” is not a good stream title
- “Hack at Home Marble Races” is a better stream title
- Include a few sentences of description and whatever logistical information you need to in the description
- Only use schedule for later if you want hackers to see that we’ll be live at a specific time
- Use a wired internet connection when possible
- Make sure you’re in a quiet environment
- Get familiar with Streamyard before going live the first time
