Copied everything from the forum of the third game, but just in case:
QUOTE
In this thread, I suggest posting the IDs of game streams and discussing the corresponding programs. A simple announcement about a stream might look like this: nicknames of the players, map, factions/heroes, ID, and maybe the internet speed. Over time, it might be necessary to specify the program for viewing, which will be discussed below.

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 that are necessary for the stream visible. I left Heroes.
For viewers, in the program, select Join Session, enter the desired ID, and watch.

There isn't much point in these broadcasts, as simply watching a player fight isn't interesting. Many things are unclear, especially for beginners: why did he move like that, or why did he fight the neutrals in that way. There's no sound, no commentary. And there are fewer players who can explain things well and properly demonstrate battles with neutrals or a live player than there are fingers on one hand. It's a difficult task to comment accurately and without errors. Moreover, Miko isn't suitable for full-fledged broadcasts. This requires much more effort, time, and, most importantly, resources than the option suggested above.

But on the forum for the third Heroes game, everything is great! The topic is "flourishing," which means that some people are still interested in watching, even without commentary.

I don't argue that it's flourishing. But the information you get from these streams is practically zero... The only plus is that you can just watch.

But if you want to learn something new and interesting about the tactics and strategy of the game, there's nothing better than streams right now...

However, I haven't seen any VODs of Heroes 5. So, streams are definitely a plus, and you can also make comments via Skype, but that's a matter of personal preference.

Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist...;)

Thanks! But streams would still be great. If you play an interesting match, you could stream it.

You can also stream it via justin.tv, which would be more informative, and you can add commentary.

Actually, there is some benefit to streaming. I think they could be used as a way to prevent cheating: simply require players in tournaments to stream their gameplay, for example.

Yeah, sure. And who's going to pay for my bandwidth?
