I’ve been watching your videos to start part time twitch streaming/ recording youtube videos for a few weeks now. I have to say you have been the most helpful and best in explaining what to expect. Thank you for making these helpful videos and talking about your experience!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! As a vtuber, having clear and understandable instructions helps me feel SO SO SO much more comfortable using this feature. I'm now so excited to try it out with my friends 🎉
Great video! So the "Desktop Audio Capture" says, "mute browser sources." Does this mean that if I set up StreamTogether with the that audio setup I need to mute, for example, my Sound Alerts browser source? Or any other sounds coming from StreamElements? And if I don't I'm assuming that those sounds get sent through to my collaborator's stream as well?
@Itsbambinovalentino you're totally right bro ! Few days ago, while playing on bo6, one guy, with a different language than mine just subbed out of nowhere. I was shocked ahah
My friends I played around with this before using NDI bridging. This feature is absolutely amazing for us and so much easier. The only thing is I wish we could have a way to combine our chats at least for us to only keep up with 1 chat as an option. It sucks that one of my viewers sees and hears my buddy on stream and has to go to his stream to ask a question or I have to relay it through the mic.
You can probably use Stream Elements Multi Channel Chat for Twitch, and make it Custom Browser Dock for yourself. Or just show it in the overlay as intended
Well think about it. Squad streaming was a thing and only for partners. Stream together is basically that without twitch having to use more bandwith or resources to support different resolution on one page. Sure you can have your collab cam on your stream but not everyone uses webcam and setting up a whole audio thing seem to only be use for their webcam to not have any delay on your stream. So there no point in using the audio and webcam if both party don't use webcam. And discord is already being use. Most people tend to like the shared chat, combine viewership, and the ability to see who they are collaborating with when hovering over the streamer icon under the following or discover tab.
found a lot of issues with it like Gain button getting stuck and unable to turn it on ( thus cutting mic audio off on and making it choppy when disabled and unable to reactivate it), and found the noise suppression to be one of the worst it even picks up room sounds, breathing, etc that even OBS can limit, especially with Mic that dont have Hardware set up to edit on a switch board and control theirs over default mic like X Pro LG Mic
It would be nice for Streamlabs Desktop to also have a feature where you can choose your camera SCENE so the Virtual Webcam is only your facecam and not what you are livestreaming to Twitch. It would also be nice for Twitch to have a checkbox in the Camera settings of the Stream Together panel where you can flip your camera because my virtual camera is now mirrored.
A cool feature, as I understand it, but it lacks an important (in my opinion) option to avoid splitting the chat. Because I might be in a co-op game where messages to the streamer should remain private. For example, I’m playing a game like Among Us, and one of my viewers writes something about my role or generally points out something that only I should see, but it gets immediately shared with everyone.
I love it! I understand the fear, but a lot of it is from streamers that wanted more collab and discoverability options. They provide one and they don't use it.
The one time I tried this feature it made mine and all my friends pcs games feel horrible. We all have decently high end pcs so not sure if we did something wrong or what the problem was. Right now as it stands it seems like it's a better use case for podcasting streams or just chatting streams or for someone who has a dual PC setup. Again not sure if we did something wrong but for now it seems like it is a very niche use case based on my experience.
Do you guys use Streamlabs? Apparently, streamlabs doesn’t work with it. Otherwise, the majority of people with mid level PCs can use it fine when they set the performance properly As you can see, I had four people in it and we were live and gaming, no issues
Made by Streamlabs so it’s a 2/10 and just makes OBS worse I used to value the company but it’s gone rapidly down hill, and will always recommend creators ditch anything Streamlabs these days. Hope they fix themselves up though.
Entirely based on browser sources so it can work in almost any software. Streamlabs might just be laggy and slow due to their software being designed badly
Hey my dude, I hope you see this. I'm interesting in getting into the world of streaming and content creation. I'm a bit turned off by my age though, I'm in my 30s and I feel like I'm a bit late to get into this wagon. Should I or should I not even try?
I'v just started streaming and i'm 41. I did try before when i was younger but didnt really have the time, now i have found myself with time to dedicate to it. Age is just a number its how you approach it that counts
I pretty much only use the "Stream Together" feature to let it display that I am streaming with someone else. And I am not really sure how that fully works.
but it is not possible for two people to play the same game, for example Mario Kart or League of Legends. And you can switch between the two screens, right?
Same answer as almost anything for streaming, if it’s direct from console you’re probably screwed. The console makers just don’t allow the tools to work for you.
I can’t use the camera feature. The source is stuck on me elgato capture card and won’t switch out that source. No matter what I pick. It won’t switch from my capture card
I was having a play with this, it looks amazing....but when I split sources I was getting massive memory use (obs was sitting at 30gb+). stop the sources and its back to 2-3gb.
@@StreamScheme I am going to do some more testing, fresh obs install and then ill start adding plugins. troubleshoot to work out what the cause is. your video is really eye opening. I now have some really big ideas to use this. thank you
I have somehow been knocking on other streamers channels when I have been streaming even though I am just lurking in that streamer's channel and have never clicked on the knock button. There needs to be something in place so I can turn off knock from my end. This is so annoying.
Maybe a browser extension for twitch accidentally doing it? Like an auto-claim channel points feature now freaking out with a new button on screen. I dunno
I was concerned by the inital "knock" featirw announcment until it allowed all the turning off and setting up options. Made me feel better about it for the channels i mod for. Great video as always!
Hello Stream scheme, i recently sent a link in ur discord that got me banned, it mightve came off as self promoting and those were not my intentions i wanted some pointers on where i could improve and change it up. I sincerly apologize and would like another shot to be in your discord.
Thank you for this video! Pretty comprehensive! Have you run into any lag issues?? Do you plan on doing a more detailed video about troubleshooting the audio, video etc?? My partner and I have been trying to costream in the same channel (both of our screens) using a lot of methods, including stream together, and have experienced nothing but headaches. Some insight would be great 🙏
Zero lagg issues, zero audio issues, zero video issues, etc I've helped a dozen or more others set it up now as shown in the video and none of has had issues either, but SSN discord and if I find time, I can hopefully help
I did before the video went out :) I included a part about “oh no I accidentally leaked” and showing how to reset, but then deleted it because it was eh
this seems so cool to do collabs (i was originally worried about the camera thing as i dont have a cam lol) one day ill stream again i just feel scared for sum reason (i used to when i was younger but then ig i stopped🤷♂️) ps. i also have like no friends to collab with lmao (even if i havent started streaming yet lol)
I ran a poll and 70% of 4000 people don’t even know what this tool does. So yeah, I needed to explain it, and the other 30% believe the tool is evil because of Twitter so yah I needed to explain it’s not. I added timecodes already, you can skip ahead of those parts aren’t for you.

Step one: Get friends to collab with 😢

Also looking for people to collaborate with.

Id love to colab! This is really awesome to know more about! Thanks for covering this! Twitch was smart to ask you to cover this!
Never heard that! Thanks bro!
Thanks for yet another helpful video!
Glad it was helpful! :)
this might be a dumb question but how do u ONLY do the shared chat and view count? ive seen alot of streamers do but i cant seem to figure out how?
Thank you for your work 💜👊🏾
Can you use this if you stream straight from a console?
Also stream together only supports Chrome and Firefox...I'm running into all kinds of hiccups.
Thank you for this wonderful video

Thanks for the info 💯
This is honestly pretty dope!
There is no small channels, only passion. If you're enjoying what you do, it's already a success ❤
I love this mantra, thank you.
Facts!! I love streaming no mstter if i have no views. I figure eventually i rack up more views
@Itsbambinovalentino you're totally right bro ! Few days ago, while playing on bo6, one guy, with a different language than mine just subbed out of nowhere. I was shocked ahah
@etern7ll good stuff bro!! I stream bo6 myself. Well warzone cuz im not a fan of multiplayer lol. How often you stream? Ill have to check you out

Shared Chat is coming out soon :)

Forget to add, as an alternative btw till the official multi chat arrives
Is it possible to use the stream together feature without using the audio or camera stuff and just use obs and discord instead?
Not sure why you would, seems to defeat the purpose of the tool
Well think about it. Squad streaming was a thing and only for partners.

i have seen people usying it only for the shared chat feature. the rest is just a Discord call.
@@StreamScheme Some people might just want the shared chat and thats it. ( i have seen some using only that)

Well, if I ever get friends to play games with, this is something I'll have to keep in mind!

You have to turn on shared chat, it’s not auto shared by default.
great video! im gonna have to stop in one day been a while since i stopped in and watched a stream. now i need to find ppl to cloab with 😅

The incompetence of twitch is mind blowing.
what do you think about the new streamlabs plugin for obs?
Made by Streamlabs so it’s a 2/10 and just makes OBS worse
I used to value the company but it’s gone rapidly down hill, and will always recommend creators ditch anything Streamlabs these days. Hope they fix themselves up though.
Does All This Apply To Streamlabs Also?
Entirely based on browser sources so it can work in almost any software.

same
How can you use this feature with the PS5 and Xbox?
Eek. My adhd made this so hard to follow lol. But thank you for the info and will give it a try.
I'm having an issue - the drop down is glitching and wont let you select a source ? :(
but it is not possible for two people to play the same game, for example Mario Kart or League of Legends. And you can switch between the two screens, right?
Will the browser sources work in tiktok studio
Should do
How about for console streamers?, would we be able to have our guests stream/video pop up? or no
Same answer as almost anything for streaming, if it’s direct from console you’re probably screwed.
The console makers just don’t allow the tools to work for you.
@@StreamScheme
My MIC doesnt show up on my streamtogether, does anyone know how to fix this? it does work and show up on my OBS?
so when i set up my camera they both appeared but one of them will freeze
That’s why you need to use virtual camera :) as shown in the video
Would it be OK if I let a few of my VIPs join the stream?
You can do whatever you want on your stream :)
I can’t use the camera feature. The source is stuck on me elgato capture card and won’t switch out that source. No matter what I pick. It won’t switch from my capture card
Sounds like your web browser doesn’t have permissions to use other cameras, likely not the feature and instead a snag in your PC settings.
i cant set it up because it doesnt support my edge browser. It will be rolled out in the future to other browsers. so im gone wait then 😞
Mine says only supports fire fox and chrome ?
