Seeing as the scene is getting bigger and more and more people are streaming due to it being more available.

Thought I'd start this thread for people to post up there streams and what games they are going to stream. What software they are using ect and help and tips for new streams on setting up there streams.

******************************************************

My Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/peeejayz

I'm Currently Streaming COD, WoW, BF3, TF2, Minecraft and SC2
Comming up when I can: SWTOR, Diabalo 3

I'm currenly mainly steaming at 720p if the game allows, using xsplit. Usually most weeknights after 6pm and usually weekend daytimes.

Please drop by sometime join the chat and follow :)

What is your upload? I was wondering how you manage to stream Multiplayer games without lagging like crazy!

I'm on VM 100mb, with a upload of 10mb.

I have streamed on 2mb upload before and a lot of streams do this.

Its all about tinkering with your settings to get a mix of decent bitrate,quality and res.

taking up about 1mb of bandwidth you can usually get a decent 480i stream.

On my 10mb I could easily stream 1080p, but I'd need to upgrade to a i7 and a better gfx card to be able to do this.

If your looking at starting, I recommend just playing with your settings. There are some decent guides around on how to get started and I can always show off my settings on stream if people wanna see them?
 
May I ask why you are streaming? Are you a caster or just for general people to watch your gameplay?

Just use Adobe Media Encoder, probably the best free tool to use

is it free and what software?

I personally use: http://www.xsplit.com/

It is currently a free piece of software that has been developed 100% for game streaming. For a guide on how to set it up just google, there are lots of really good guides online.

There are other free streaming programes like FME ect that are more complicated to setup - guides available online again.

If you setup an account on www.twitch.tv or www.justin.tv (twitch is the gaming side of justin TV), there are guides ect.
 
Not trying to be funny, are you a 'pro-gamer' or a skilled gamer in that aspect? I just find it strange that you think people will want to watch you play if you weren't delivering or providing something to them.

I mean if your after playing with new people, is it not better to just get on irc and speak to people? If your doing tutorials, advertise it as that. With such a broad range of games you posted at the top, there might be some community gaps you could fill with tutorials.

I was a 'pro' gamer, playing CS at top uk levels online. But now more of someone that enjoys playing games playing a large range of them. I do raid endgame content in wow being in a top 100 eu guild for a lot of mytime.

This thread wasn't for me. It was for people to post there streams and discuss about streaming. I personally really enjoy watching anyone playing streams be them a pro or not.
 
Streaming minecraft with xsplit seems to give me 5 fps, or rather the one time I tried.

Edit- waso guild you in?

Since our internet in the U.K is the stone age internet speed wise it's impossible for anyone with normal (8Mbps down, 05Mbps up) internet to stream.

Tried ages ago on justin.tv and the quality was appalling due to our ****ty upload speeds.
