You can do both.
You can use Fraps but its kind of junk.
I use OBS (open broadcaster software)

Yeah, that's the one my boyfriend told me to use.

which one?

OBS, I currently have it installed on my computer.

does OBS cost monies? OnO

OBS is free

Cool thanks ouo once i get back into MMOs and stuff i'll look into it.

They have a neat estimator on their website. You put your pc set up and internet speed and it tells you what to set things for a smooth stream

I'll have to look that up. Also, when setting it up to stream would I just run OBS like normal and then set up twitch, or have twitch up first?

You only need twitch for changing your title and getting your broadcast link. Other than that launch obs, start your game, select the game on obs and hit stream.

I finally set up a donation link :D

Okay, then the only thing I'm concerned about it recording me talking, I think when I tried launching OBS last time it didn't have my headset as an option. ^^;

You should be able to add it.

I'll have to try again when I get the chance then.

I HAVE MY WEBCAM SET :D

WOOOT! Are you going to have one of those fancy things when people donate? Like the alarm thingies?

I have one yes. But other things lol. I need to figure out how to get it to work or use a 3rd party one with obs

Ah, so there is one that comes with it. :3

Yes and no. It is an obs feature but you have to download the addon

I think it would be fun to do streams but I'm also really shy!

I just want something to record my guildmates and I doing stupid shit and silly dances <3


HIRO STOP EATING FEATHERS OF TOYS! ;-; I was nice enough to BUY that for you with my monies -cries-

Well, I guess I can give it a shot, maybe for a little bit tonight while playing Witcher.

Just try to have fun with it

I used to grab my phone and try to record my screen

when i play my 3ds i use my camcorder. but I think my desktop's webcam program can catch desktop imaging if i choose to do so, i just never use it cause i hate webcams xD

And I couldn't get it to stream for me, OBS kept saying something like invalid stream or something like that. Mtabe I should google how to set it up, that's something I want to try again tonight...

go to www.twitch.tv/(yourname)/dashboard/
There is a tab that says stream key. Click on that

I was streaming last night for 5 hours, no views though

i'm so exhausted and upset from being at the mission today i cant even focus right on my 3ds game

Thanks Hyjin! I'll try that later.

Yeah no problem ml. if you have any questions just message me

Oh! How do I get the chat window without having my channel open in the web browser?

My co-workers are trying to kill me with laughter

@ml Those are add-ons that you need to download. I just have a web browser tab open to my dashboard so i can mod, mute and ban people.

@dk fall into laughter and let it succumb you

No dude, get this,

Krissy's Hubby's phone number popped up on my phone, calling me this morning waking me up. I answered it and who ever it was hung up. I thought Krissy's Hubby accidentally called me and hung up real quick. I ignored it cause I figured he'd feel awkward later on.

I left my Cell in my bedroom and came out to the living room to play on the PC. During this time Krissy had called me 6 times, and texted me once. I hear my phone go off telling me i had a voice mail. I go get it and see she left 2 voice mails.

One said "Listen Bitch, I don't know who you are but I want you to stop calling my husband. Or else I'll find your bitch ass and.." I was laughing too hard to hear the rest. I called her back and said "KRISSY YOU GOOFBALL!" xD she was like "O-O Who is this?!" I'm here laughing my ass off "its jessie!" and she was all "OMG I am so sorry!" xD

She had used my Phone the other day to call her hubby to let him know her ride home went home sick so he would need to come get her... I was just dying this morning it was so funny

lol, OMG! That's so funny! XD She probably had to apologize to her husband too because of that. XD

@hyjin
huh, then I guess I'll do the dashboard as well.

I saved her message to my PC .. its just so funny xD

wow looks like she is very protective of her manz

she is, he use to come home 2 hours late after work, had a bunch of numbers of his female coworkers in his phone (none of the males) and lied to her a lot so she's paranoid about it.

her message was so funny i recorded it on my PC xD

lol, poor DK

i'm still laughing over it

It's like the prank phone calls with Alucard from Castlevania. XD
