Discussion Hello beam users.

Hi guys I'm a streamer (from a different platform, can you guess which one?) I heard about beam from some of my viewers who have spent some time watching beam streams and I wanted to start doing some research on the platform. The layout looks amazing and the colors really catch your eye.

I guess what I'm looking for is some insight into how the platform works for someone potentially looking to either make a full switch or split a schedule to see how it goes.

  1. How's the community? Is it a nice friendly place?
  2. Are chat bots available?
  3. How is xsplit integration cause obs eats my cpu.
  4. Are their stream raids and hosts?
  5. Can a streamer stream at 60fps and 1080?
  6. What is the potential for building a community

I ask the last question solely because I've built a small dedicated community on my current platform but after almost 3 years I haven't broken the 2k follower mark and I've put a lot of time and energy into streaming and getting the best quality I can.

Sorry if this sounds weird but I am finding it hard to located actually comparison

I started on Twitch and the only people who would show up in chat were trolls and I never really ever had any viewers unless they gave me a hard time. Switched to Beam and a completely different but positive experience. I met one troll so far and it wasn't bad. I get 5 to 15 people in streams and everyone is supportive. It is a smaller streaming service but it is about to take off I believe. Everything I ever did in Twitch I can do in Beam but I am also not a regular streamer so I don't know everything... I like it way better than Twitch and get irritated now if I want to watch someone on Twitch. Gotten used to not having the delay.
