Are the services of a streamer/re-streamer for Heroes 3 still relevant today?

Hello everyone!

Please don't judge me too harshly – I'm new here. I came across this forum and saw that one of my favorite games is frequently streamed and watched by a significant number of people, which made me happy. I would like to contribute to the development of everything related to Heroes.
So, what I wanted to know is: would the services of a streamer/re-streamer for Heroes 3 be relevant now? I see that a stable community has formed here over many years, and I regret not noticing your activity earlier. I want to attract a larger audience and pay attention to more games, because I can't watch all the games, and I haven't found many recordings in the archives. As I can see, Tournaments are held regularly, and many people participate. I have all the necessary equipment. However, there will be no commentary, as I am not a professional Heroes player and am only superficially familiar with the rules and terminology. But if someone wants to provide commentary, I can easily arrange a conference and "give the floor" to anyone who is knowledgeable about the situation :D I can stream at absolutely any time of the day. I approach the task responsibly and with stability. Who knows – maybe in the future I will be able to provide adequate commentary on matches, or even play and stream my own games. + Since I do video editing, I can create promotional videos and short advertisements from the accumulated material in the future.
So, if anyone is interested in my offer, I will leave my contact information; if not, I don't mind remaining a simple viewer and observing the progress of the tournaments from the sidelines.

Thank you for your attention.

Thanks for the guide. I made it work pretty easily, so it must have been a good guide. I have one question though: Is it possible to only show the game (full screen) and hide the rest of the screen when I exit the game?

this option (to stream game only) is available if you pay for an XSplit license :)

Does Game Source, or whatever it's called in OBS, support Heroes? It doesn't work in OBS.

It works quite well; you select the game window for capture, and it doesn't show anything else. :)

Are we talking about XSplit? In OBS, the situation is as follows:



That is, when you select Game Capture (similar to Game Source in XSplit), only a black screen is displayed. There are no problems with capturing the "window," but the point is to "only show the game." Meaning, the capture should be only from the window, and not from the area. If you capture based on the "internal content of the window," it is still considered capturing an area, so when the window is minimized, everything behind it will be visible.

However, I think I'm going in the wrong direction with my reasoning; the question wasn't about that.
In short, does Game Source work in XSplit, or does it also show a black window, like in OBS? Does anyone have a licensed/cracked version of XSplit to check this? All the streamers I've watched either capture just the internal part of the window or the full screen, so everything is visible when Alt+Tab is pressed.

Note that any mods, external or third-party apps (such as the FXAA mod or Fraps) are not officially supported, and may render your game undetectable by Game Source. Be especially careful about using mods that add or modify DirectX or any DLL files (like the FPS Limiter mod for Skyrim).

Finally, note that Game Source can only capture games that use OpenGL, DirectX 9 and above. A game that uses DirectX versions lower than 9 may not be detected at all.

I have a licensed version of xSplit. If you're talking about the "Add Game" feature, it doesn't work for Heroes.

Hey streamers, figure out what's going on. http://www.twitch.tv/lider2856/b/392083673
Why are there flickering frames in the game in the video? Which parameter needs to be adjusted (increased/decreased) to get rid of this?
