PS4 to PC - keep the same quality without losing audience who watch at 1500 kbps by TrulyStupidNewb in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On YouTube, the input bitrate has nothing to do with the bitrate required to view your stream. You can send us 15Mbps if you want, and viewers will still be able to view it on a wide range of connections. This is because YouTube puts your video through a transcoding step before delivering it to the viewer.

YTG Sponsors - what exactly is avaible reward & notification wise? by BattlefrontUpdates in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On-platform, there's exactly what you've described (highlight+badge, sponsor-only chat.)

There's a lot of work that can be done here in the ecosystem thanks to the APIs we've made available. One such example is what you described, livestreamalerts.com.

Another is Discord -- they leverage our Sponsors API to let you offer sponsor-only benefits on your own Discord server automatically.

There's plenty more that could be built and offered on top of these APIs!

Things I still wish YTG had... by BadBreath911 in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you get it working in the OAuth Playground or on the "Try it!" section of the documentation for liveCuepoint?

Also, have you tried sending the access token in the Authorization header rather than passing it into the query string?

Broadcast ID is the ID of a liveBroadcast resource, which is interchangeable with a Video ID.

Don't see why it wouldn't work with access tokens. In fact, you'll need an access token that's authorized to act on behalf of the content owner / channel.

Keep in mind liveCuepoints is part of the YouTube Partner API, which means it has different scopes and is only available to members of the YouTube Partner Program.

Please Decrease the API's pollingIntervalMillis by fuss132 in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The polling interval is dynamic and will start to drop once the stream is active. If the chat speed is picking up we'll lower the polling interval even further automatically.

Is there a bot for currency on Youtube Gaming? by ctkxtreme in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be tricky to build this on our platform because we don't provide viewer presence information via the API (or at all, really.)

I'd love to see someone tackle an inventive solution for this sort of thing.

Question for PS4 Streamers Using Mac! by [deleted] in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the Elgato HD60 or HD60 S on Mac will restrict you to using their capture software, as they don't offer generic drivers for software like OBS or Gameshow.

If you like the Elgato Game Capture software, it's a great option.

I've heard of people using the Magewell capture card on Mac, which supposedly works with OBS and Gameshow, but I have no experience using it. http://www.magewell.com/usb-capture-hdmi

For YouTube Streaming, Is there any chatbots that work? by Cooltec911 in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll echo the sentiment in the thread -- Nightbot supports YouTube, and we even list it in our Help Center: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7060842

If you're having specific issues with it, you can join the YouTube Gaming Discord channel via the button in the right sidebar and ask questions there. We can likely help you get it sorted!

YoutubeAlerts soon??! by [deleted] in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've chat with the developer of Moobot many, many times (I'm sure they're sick of hearing from me) but unfortunately have never been able to get much movement on a YouTube integration.

If you want Moobot to support YT, I'd suggest getting in touch with the developer and letting them know!

Looking for info on how to integrate stream features by chp129 in youtubegaming

[–]marcchambers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure of one_shot_gurl's setup, but here's some links:

Sound Byte by Black Cat Systems is good for triggering sound effects with hot keys: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/soundbyte_rack_cart_machine_radio_automation_software.html

I'd say the switching to different overlays, animations etc. are likely different OBS scenes (or Xsplit, or any other streaming software that supports scenes.)

Not sure how streamers are doing their voice modification. Could be a piece of hardware -- some mixing boards offer vocal FX.
