What Streaming programs can I use?

We will provide OBS + Streamlabs on the PC’s so you can load in your own information. A few preloaded event graphics for you to use if you don’t have a usb drive of your own assets on hand. We want to make sure you have something to spotlight your stream to your community!

If you need guidance on how to download your Profile / Scene collection to bring with for OBS – EPOSVox has a great guide on Youtube on how to backup/save/move your OBS information.
What games will be available on the stream PCs for use during the event?

There is no set list of games available on the PC’s at this moment. We are collecting recommendations to see what we can pre-install before the event. You will be able to sign into any of your accounts and download games that are not already on the PC’s. Just be mindful that downloading something large may eat into your stream time.

Let us know what game you are thinking of so we can look into getting it loaded before you go live!
