Steam Broadcasting

[ic1male]

Looks like Valve are going after Twitch. Anyone tried this yet? I don't think my net connection would be good enough.

Starting today you can watch your friends’ games with the click of a button via Steam Broadcasting, now available in beta. When you see a friend in game, simply click on "Watch Game" from their profile or from the Steam Client Friend's List to open a window into their gameplay -- no game ownership, special fees, or additional apps required.

The beta is open to everyone on Steam who wants to participate by opting in to the Steam Client beta through the Steam Settings panel. For the time being, concurrent viewing may be limited as the beta is scaled up to support the broader audience.

It's interesting in that it's all completely automatic. You only start broadcasting when someone requests to watch you.
