    I don't personally watch much youtube streaming. I don't know how good or bad it is to be honest.

    I think most people use either hitbox or twitch for viewing stuff. You might want to look at either Twitch or using a service like restream.io that will let you stream on multiple services at one time. The issue with restream is that you can't, as far as I remember, see the chat on the services you stream too so you you'd need to have multiple windows up to keep up with view interaction.

    restream works like this. you put in the resteam key and when you start your stream it goes to there. then restream then sends your stream to two platforms you have set up. you dont need a super high end pc all setting can be the same as you have now. as for chat restream does have a chat app that links all of them together you do have to download that but its been a while since i used it but youtube chat wasn't working in it.

    Well the streaming service itself is very good, its just not too popular to stream on YT.

    I do stream a lot on Youtube, but the issue is there is already a great number of fans and followers on twitch and other sites like that.
    If Youtube would of done it sooner then they might of stood a chance in that scene! :(

    Great point Jord. Even though YT has a working platform and it's great to have your videos and streams in one place, the problem is that they were simply too late - everybody was already established with fans on Twitch.

    I think the Restream Service is a great way to keep your existing Twitch audience and gain a new audience with Youtube and Hitbox.

    Yeah twitch is SO big now its hard to get YT streaming going, Ive never watched anyone stream to youtube.

    I did stream to YT for MGN the other week and it was pretty fun, I think viewers were around 7 - but that was made up of people from here & a dedicated twitch fan :)

    I just use Restream. Why stream to one source when I can do multiple?
