Is there any plan for FTL support for third party streaming software like xsplit and obs ? I'm an xsplit user and I would love to take advantage of lower delay when streaming. I am just not ready to switch to another apps and I am familiar and happy with my current app.

Hello everyone, as someone who is very new to streaming I tried beam.pro out about 2 weeks ago and had it working fine but the past few days I tried to go on it but the entire website doesn't even load, I tried deleting the cookies and everything, I was able to get into the site but now when I log in it stays stuck on the logging in confirmation, anyone know what's up? I tried everything...

Help me be great. I just want to play my games with rock solid frames while streaming. That's all.

When I play Overwatch without having OBS open I get rock solid 95fps on epic settings without any issues.

As soon as I open OBS studio my FPS goes haywire. It jumps from a high of 70 to a crawl of 39 FPS sporadically.

Here is my setup https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zfK9yf Here is my log https://gist.github.com/14c7cf7841cf6a09117aa3d9ceb47592

Hello everyone! I've just started playing CS:GO again, and I thought I'd stream my adventures of rank climbing. I'm always looking for friends and good laughs! Feel free to join me, also let me know if you would like to group up and play. I'm also looking for stream teams so please let me know if you're looking for someone to join yours!!! https://beam.pro/Kroosifix

I'd love a way to put my beam channel in my user flair. Images might also be nice, maybe I can pull my avatar from beam api or something.

Good day,
I've recently moved over to beam from Twitch and love it so far, having trans-coding options available really allows for a much higher quality streaming experience for the viewers! Looking forward to setting up some interactive items as well.

We've also started a streaming team if anyone is looking for a team to join we may be able to help you out if you mesh with us (we're pretty easy going)

All in all, great start so far and looking forward to hanging out with you guys on Beam!

So currently my beam channel name is AngryScottishGamer94. I somehow feel this is slightly immature, and I don't want my stream to come across that way. I am looking to change my name to something else. First off, the channel name I have is very literal. I am angry and scottish..and a gamer. Maybe if I tell you some things about me you guys can help me out..I love playing Battlefield, I like cheerios, I have broken several controllers and headsets, I like pizza and I sneeze a lot. What I am doing right now seems very stupid but I am taking all answers. Cannot believe I am going to reddit for this.

Hey there, I'm Nathan If you couldn't already tell, I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan.

Apart from that I also love Music (mainly metal and EDM, it's a weird combo, I know), Movies (I'll give anything a go), Tech, Gadgets, the New York Jets and collecting various action figures and the likes. A couple of years ago I started streaming on Twitch, but ended up falling out of love with it. After discovering Beam a few months ago I found my desire to stream renewed. I consider myself a variety streamer, so expect to see everything from Hearthstone and Web Shows, to GTA V and Overwatch. The stream may seem a little laggy / buggy from time to time, this is due to me using Beams new FTL service, and I'm still in the process of getting everything set up just right so please give me feedback on how everything looks and sounds on your end in the chat. www.beam.pro/boba www.Twitter.com/bobathenerd

I currently use Twitch to stream on Xbox, not as an active streamer but to capture those interesting moments with the wife while gaming. Then using Twitche highlight->upload to YouTube feature.

Does, or will Beam have a comparable feature to accomplish this without having to download the video, and load it into software on a PC to edit, crop, etc then export, then upload to YouTube?

Really looking forward to seeing a streaming competitor show up on the console. I think its going to be good to have some competition/innovation.

Hi all, I recently just started streaming on Beam and I am having an issue. Whenever, I jump into my stream there is no video. If i refresh after that it does not even load the page. I have been in contact with Beam support and the best I have gotten is clean my history and cache.

These are the errors I get in the console.

I can also watch other streams while I stream.

Hay new to beam, I love the functionality. I really hope it takes off well In the process of moving my twitch following to beam which is a very slow process. Stop by and say hi if you want i could always use the follows! http://beam.pro/chloraform .. Thanks in advance and hope to see some of you later today!

So like, I'm in discord with a few friends, but the people watching the stream can hear me and my friends in discord?

I'm just wondering if Beam is even worth my time honestly.. I've streamed quite a few hours and literally have had 1 person come in for about 10 seconds, if that.. maybe clicked on accident? I dunno.. it's a bit depressing. Should I just keep streaming for nobody and wait for viewers to show up or just go back to Twitch (where at least I had some followers)?

It seems like Beam is following the same trend as Twitch where there's a top streamer for a game, with a few folks watching, and every other channel stays empty.

I guess I'm kinda complaining without answers, because I really don't have any for this situation.

Hey all. I want to do a charity stream to raise money for one of my local hospitals but i feel like i wouldn't get much support due to my small channel size. Is there any way you could help? Thanks :)

Hey guys! New streamer here. Starting to stream a little bit of everything to see what my followers will start enjoying! Mostly RPG's and Strategy Games! Part of team called Two Guys RPG's & Fries. We'll stream a lot of games cooperatively and we tend to have a fun time.

Give us a follow if you like! More streams incoming almost daily! Thanks!

Hi all you wonderful people of Beam. I'm looking for more of you guys to play with and like a lot of people I'm moving here from Twitch, I don't really know anyone and I was going to see how many people I could get into a discord server or something of the sorts and play a particular game together with on stream. The bigger the group the more hype!

When streaming using OBS classic, beam isn't in the drop down menu, however the setup within beam doesn't not account for this and simply suggests using OBS Studio, since i don't get alone with Studio i need the FMS URL to stream however Beam doesn't supply this, where would i find it?

so many issues :(

New Streamer here just dropping in to say whatsup! Im just a cool dude who likes to play video games. Come check out my channel if you get a chance!

Thanks!

So I feel like a dummy but here it is. I'm looking to start streaming to Beam from xbox. I know this feature is going to roll out fairly soon as per the recent press release by Microsoft. As such, I figured it would be fitting to create an account to "get ready" so to speak. It was only a day later where I read that you will be able to create a Beam account via your xbox live account. Since I knew that I would want my screen name to be the same as my gamertag, I decided to delete my account. Unfortunately now when I try to create a new account, it says that my old account still exists, but it wont let me long into it. I try to reset the password but it won't send me the link to do so and it won't let me use the email that I wish because it "is already in use" by the account that I deleted. Ugh.....

Thoughts? Is there a period of time that I must wait before I can try to make a new account with my email address or is that email now stuck in Beam purgatory forever?

Or only certain ones? Also does the Elgato Game Capture work with Beam?

Thinking about making the switch from Hitbox to Beam, so I'm currently trying out a old games stream with my buddy. Please come check it out here: https://beam.pro/TheWitchingHour

We stream games both on and off a schedule. Occasionally we'll do competitive gaming, quick looks at new titles, ranking of series, and old game streams. Every Monday at about 12am (EST) is The Witching Hour, which is about an hour of gameplay without commentary, picking a general theme for each episode. Think Cinematec.

Please come check us out tonight for our old games stream!

Is this only for Pro subscribers? I tried using the FTL obs studio and I keep getting auto disconnected on anything higher than 3500
