And Then from StreamLabs to Nothing

2023 and 2024 have been good years for streaming on Twitch. I reached about 10 or 20 followers. While that doesn't seem like much, considering how clumsy and unreliable I was in the beginning, it’s quite an achievement!

Then, in August 2024, I received life-changing news—I found out I would become a dad. Suddenly, I had no more time for streaming.

I did try streaming on X, which is not focused on gaming at all, but their streaming system is well-designed and simple; it works.

Unfortunately, time constraints meant I still couldn’t continue streaming.

A month ago, we welcomed our son. What a joy!

Will I stream again one day? Sure! Will it be on Twitch? Unlikely. On X? Maybe. Time will tell.

Catch you later!

Then from OBS to StreamLabs

Oh well, I didn't stay long on OBS. Not that I don't like it. It just doesn't feel as streamlined and intuitive as Twitch Studio, or StreamLabs, which I eventually switched to. 

OBS works great, for sure. But it has so little automation, most things Twitch Studio does right off the bat, you have to do manually in OBS. That's mostly what motivated me to look elsewhere. 

StreamLabs feels good and is not that far away from the look and feel of Twitch Studio. It works well. 

To be continued... 

From Twitch Studio to OBS

Twitch decided to discontinue its streaming app, Twitch Studio. Sounds like I'm in the 4% of people who used it! 

Well, it forced me to upgrade to OBS and stream like the big boys. It's certainly not a bad thing... I'm now satisfied with my current OBS setup. It's a nice improvement compared to Twitch Studio. 

I must have used Twitch Studio for about 6 to 7 months. I think it was a good starting point for my streaming adventures. It's a very limited app, but it's incredibly simple. You're good to go in no time! 

OBS, on the other hand, is way more powerful, but way more complicated. I still have a couple of things to set up, like the Twitch alerts and a proper chat overlay when I stream from a single-monitor system. I'll do it over time, no big deal. 

See you on Twitch!
