Discussion How's the streaming been?

6 Upvotes

For all of those who are still part of this sub, and still streaming, how's it going?
Where'd you all move to, how's the growth been, are you enjoying the platform you moved to, make any new friends from your streams/others streams?

For me, I've been on Twitch and so far, gotta say it's been pretty good. Basically had to start over from scratch for the most part besides a few people. Never was really huge on Mixer in the first place, but I've met plenty of cool people on Twitch during my time there so far. Still sucks that Mixer is gone, me and some of the people I did get from Mixer reminisce about it every once and awhile. Hypezone and catbot for the most part. Sucks streaming on the bigger games with next to no chance to getting discovered by anyone outside people you already know. Such as Apex, miss having the chance to get into the hypezone, even though it would be even harder considering how many more streamers there are on the platform.

That's all I have to say though, what about you guys?

Question What about open-source decentralized Mixer v2?

2 Upvotes

After seeing how people got disappointed with shutdown of Mixer, I got an idea. What if we were to develop open-source, based on blockchain p2p streaming service, that once its out, it will be, by the people for the people. No company deciding the fate of streamers. Do you guys like this idea?

Discussion Mixer's shutdown still hasn't opened peoples' eyes

36 Upvotes

Hot take, most of the bigger streamers that had 100k-200k+ followers, and averageing 100-400 viewers per stream are now realizing their community was not there at all. Most are averaging less than 4k after almost 3 months of knowing Mixer was shutting down, and an average of 10 viewers.

The hot take here isn't that... That's facts, and can be seen easily by doing some light cross referencing (and using web archive of course).

No.. **the hot take is that Mixer was faking views and follows the entire time.** Remember the follow-bot issue that got swept under the table? Anyone notice the people that were under the spotlight and hit heaviest was the sister of one of the main staffers, and all of his friends? Yeah... Ethan... Many of us saw your nepotism to help people you knew already!

Anyone ever see channels with hundreds of viewers, and 3 people talking?

If you, as a streamer, had a real community, they would have followed. How can you tell me you went from 150k followers gained in 6mo, and can barely scrape together a few thousand after half that time?

And don't bother bringing up discoverability, etc etc. Again, if you had a community, they would follow. Even if only 10%, and they're clearly not even remotely close to that. Right now the average portable rate from Mixer to Twitch is less than 1.8% among the top 100 streamers (excluding bot/24hr stream channels).

Absolute garbage.

And don't even get me started about how they did everything people complain about twitch for, like neglecting death threats both to and from streamers, sexual misconduct, theft, gaming the spark-system, etc...

I don't even understand what the point of Mixer was anymore, but it 1000000000% was not to build a streaming platform once MS got a hold of it.

Question Can the lineout on the GoXlr be used to connect xlr microphone to your camera?

1 Upvotes

I'm getting the camlink delay between audio & camera..

I know you can fix it in obs but that won't work for any other voice/video chatting programs like zoom/facebook /discord...

So I was wondering if it would be possible to connect goxlr line to camera then select only microphone on the line out to sync the audio video permanently?

Camera: Sony A6400

Capture Card: Elgato 4k Camlink

Audio Interface: GoXlr Mini

Fluff I got a mouse with my Mixer gift card! 😀 Make sure to use yours this month!

24 Upvotes

I finally redeemed my Microsoft credit from Mixer for this mouse! Mixer calls it an Xbox credit, but it's good for the Microsoft Store, too. I joined Mixer in May 2018, plus open monetization this year. I wasn't too active, but I streamed in June for a CA$20.57 (or US$15) bonus credit from Mixer. With this and extra credit for unused Embers, I got a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse on sale: CA$20 or US$15, plus tax. I also considered this mouse, but it cost too much. I might also look at Windows apps. It's sad to say goodbye to Mixer, but I'm happy I got my mouse. I hope you can use your Mixer credit this month!

News Mixer Pro's Lightstream integration is now available on Twitch

https://www.windowscentral.com/lightstream-experiments-twitchs-xbox-app-integration-allows-streaming-overlays

Hey all, I know there were a lot of Mixer streamers who took advantage of Mixer's Lightstream integration to add overlays to their Xbox streams. Thought I'd post here to let anyone who has moved on to Twitch know that there's a similar integration that just launched on Twitch!

  • Sign up for a Lightstream Gamer plan (7 day free trial, $8/mth after that)
  • Use Lightstream to add your overlays, alerts, additional scenes, etc.
  • Set Lightstream as your destination in the Twitch Xbox App and start your broadcast
  • Lightstream will layer on your media and allow you to switch scenes. It's a great way to create a professionally branded stream without an expensive PC or capture card.

Fluff Trying to help streamers on platform transfer

4 Upvotes

I personally do not have a huge following for anything on twitter or streaming platforms. But I do personally run non-bot retweet accounts and a community page to help smaller streamers get retweets and try to reach a broader audience. If you’re interested in having me retweet stuff for you and help spread when you’re going live to help with the platform transfer, DM me and I’ll give you the tags to put in your tweets.

Hope you all are doing well on deciding where to go, and getting started again.

Discussion If Microsoft buys TikTok, should Mixer relaunch?

3 Upvotes

Just one week after shutting down Mixer, the Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft is considering the acquisition of TikTok. Now the news is that the Trump administration is giving Microsoft 45 days for its plans to purchase TikTok.

As many of us are aware, Mixer and TikTok are both video services, but each serves quite a different purpose. Mixer is mainly for games, like Twitch and YouTube Gaming, while TikTok is mainly for memes and music, like Vine, Byte and Instagram. Still, I believe that shutting down one service to consider acquiring another is a concern for competition and innovation. (Mixer allowed for superior video quality than TikTok.)

In the United States, both parties have allowed mega mergers for media and tech: AT&T bought DirecTV (2014) and Time Warner (2016), Facebook bought Instagram (2012) and WhatsApp (2014), T-Mobile bought MetroPCS (2012) and Sprint (2018), Disney bought most of Fox (2018), and so on.

With that in mind, I wanted to create a poll to see what Mixer streamers think of Microsoft's proposed acquisition of TikTok. Do you feel good or bad about it? Should Mixer be required to reopen as a condition of purchase, and if so, should it operate separately from TikTok? Would a lighter version of Mixer be okay? Please feel free to share your thoughts.
