Does anyone have a CONCISE TEXTUAL explanation of how to get obs studio to twitch stream?
I want to share LIVE AUDIO with FRIENDS using a LINUX and NOTHING WORKS and I am getting ANGRY.
I have the twitch streaming key set up, and punched in some video and audio settings recommended by webpages, and I hit start streaming. OBS shows 3 green bars and no dropped frames, but twitch says I'm offline >:O
I'm on a discord call with these people and I tried just screen sharing fucking obs so they could hear it because I have OBS monitoring the mic, but that isn't sharing the audio either (probably) because fuck you wayland I swear to god wayland was made by people who don't have friends.
please advise
there's so much linux in here it hurts
I was thinking I should take another crack at figuring out how to live stream audio over the internet on linux in advance of hanging out with friends on a call video call tonight
but it's so insanely hot in here today honestly just being awake is kind of exhausting maybe I shouldn't bother
"sorry ladies, it looks like 2025 isn't going to be the year of linux on the desktop either 😔"
if anyone knows a way to live broadcast an audio stream over the internet to ~4 listeners I'm all ears though. My requirements are simple though:
- must be relatively straight forward to set up even if you have a headache and you're tired
- works on wayland
- easy to explain to the listeners how to tune in
- doesn't involve twitch
- doesn't require giving a company my phone number (eg youtube)
- doesn't require a hacked discord client
- preferably doesn't involve obs
What are your latency requirements? (The broadcasting setups I've seen add OoM of small seconds to latency; I've seen lower only from things intended for use as voice chat.)
