Streamlabs

There are different ways to create channels (console, CLI, SDK) and create playback interfaces (web, native). There are also different ways to broadcast (or “stream”) to your channels (desktop software, mobile apps, web broadcast). I’ll show you how all of these work in future posts, but today let’s get the basics out of the way by just creating a channel and streaming to it. If you’ve never live streamed before, the quickest way to get started from your laptop/desktop is to install something like Streamlabs Desktop or OBS. Another quick and easy way to stream is to do it directly from the command line with FFMPEG, but this method will not include some of the nicer features of other options (like easily streaming a desktop window or application and adding fun transitions to your scenes). Still, it’s an easy way to test your channel. We’ll look at how to use FFMPEG in a future post.
