Streams (including Mikogo, TeamViewer, etc.) - technical aspects. Auto-translated

In this thread, I propose we discuss programs and tools that allow you to stream the game. Here's an FAQ from me about Mikogo. To stream, register on the Mikogo website, and instead of your nickname, enter your email address. Then, complete the registration in your email. In the program, go to Settings -> Username and enter your email. Click Start Session. Now, everything that happens on your screen will be transmitted to the viewers. To reduce lag, in Settings -> Preferences, leave only the windows needed for the stream visible. I've left Heroes visible. For viewers, select Join Session in the program, enter the correct ID, and watch. There are also other programs for online conferences. We need to test as many of them as possible and find the best one. For voice conferencing, you can use Skype, which should also be installed on all computers. With commentary, it will be more informative and interesting. It would also be nice to stream from the computers of both players. Whether this can be done with Mikogo is something I don't know yet. Enjoy

Streams are online broadcasts, similar to MyGamer. The technology is probably roughly the same, but there are significant differences between these two broadcasting methods. Pros of streaming: 1) Any number of people can watch the stream without a loss in image quality. In MyGamer, the more viewers there are, the worse the quality becomes. And there is a limit of 10 people unless you purchase a premium account. 2) The streamer has many options for adjusting the image quality. 3) Unlike MyGamer, the streamer can comment on their video. 4) The video is saved on servers and can be watched after the game. Cons of streaming: 1) Some difficulties in setting up the stream. 2) If the outgoing channel is very weak, the stream will not work. Or it will work, but in an unwatchable quality. I can help with the first problem – contact me on ICQ 465786677. I cannot help with the second. FAQ about streams - http://sc2tv.ru/content/как-делать-стримы-техническая-сторона-вопроса The links to download the programs in the link are already outdated, use Google. In addition to the described streaming method, there are other methods, which I will discuss later as information becomes available. Streams are definitely a more promising option than using MyGamer. I would especially like to attract our top players to become streamers, because more people can watch their games – both online and after the game at any time. Yes, there are some difficulties with setting it up, but it is worth spending an hour to have access to all the advantages of streaming. Those who, for some reason, cannot or do not want to comment – it is not necessary to do so, if you stream, it will still be great! Streams attract people online – this has been proven, after watching streams, some newbies download Warcraft Tavern, GameRanger, and try their hand online. In short, there are many benefits, and the difficulty only arises at the initial stage, and I will try to help everyone solve it.

Thanks again, Sticky, for the program; it's a very useful tool for promoting the game.
I'm ready to play with a live stream tomorrow; write to me on ICQ, and I'll be happy to!

On Sunday I watched Samurai's game on Bay via Micogo. True, in 2 hours I didn't see anything except rests, but it was very interesting. It would be cool if such streams were held on HeroesWorld too. :rolleyes:

The stream isn't working; it says there's an error!!!
I'm entering everything correctly, but it won't connect(((

I started the stream; please don't throw tomatoes at me!!!
ID 419-851-115
I'm playing against Mals; his red Castle against my Dungeon!!!

Rest before the next match at 114. We started a new game, ID 299-480-932)))

But the opponent will also be able to see your moves!!?
And why can't you see Mals' moves?
And does anyone save the broadcast somewhere? Maybe there's a way to extract all of this from them (the Mikog team)?

I can see who is watching the stream...
Malsa's gameplay isn't visible because he isn't streaming; only I am, just for testing purposes (how and what)...
And we still need to figure out the program. We're just getting acquainted with it...

I can see who's watching the stream...

How do you know that Mals isn't watching?))
He can use any nickname he wants, and you won't know who's watching the stream.

I understand that you can record video through Mikogo using the Recording feature. I tried to record, but I don't know where the video was saved. I didn't even understand which directory this program was installed in.

So, how do we set a limit or something else???
We've already taken the second break during the match; the situation is not great. The password for the broadcast is 822-809-771.

P.S. A blue screen means it's the opponent's turn!!!

Regarding the blue screen – I saw you typing a response in Explorer!

Added 7 minutes later
And when I click with the mouse, can you see it too?

I'm getting bombarded with spam. Sometimes it's so bad that it's scary)))
A desperate plea to everyone: please, don't participate (Cobra is a complete clown)!!!

It stopped displaying!

I was watching Mizrael's game stream, it's a cool thing – the broadcasts are a real breakthrough... I need to test it out next time with Skype, so I can chime in with my own comments and generally be a nuisance.

As I understand it, you can record videos using Mikogo through the Recording feature. I tried to record, but I don't know where the video was saved. I couldn't even figure out which directory the program was installed in.

It saves here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Tell_me_your_name\My Documents\Mikogo\Records\
