Using Restreamio and Expanding Your Video Game Streaming Audience

It's been a minute, that's for damn sure. I tried re-signing up for the Twitch affiliate status only to realize it wasn't the path I wanted. Restricting oneself to one avenue of video game streaming really isn't the best method of learning the entire market, so I decided to focus my efforts with something that I knew about in the past: Restreamio!

Using Restreamio for Video Game Streaming Content


Restreamio acts as a streaming hub for several different platforms. You stream to it, and it rebroadcasts to all of your channels. It's convenient and can potentially expand your audience much wider; the only problem, I think, is the matter of hosting. If you're streaming on Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, and Facebook, then it's a matter of hosting who you want to on each individual platform. That's not a very easy task, unfortunately. But if you're looking to get into video game streaming and you don't want to limit yourself to one platform, I think it's a fantastic idea to use it regularly. Most of their broadcast avenues are free, but if you're looking to stream to a Facebook page or more obscure platforms, there are paid options as well. Plus, Restreamio has a featured channel chat that combines all streamed-to platforms into one, so there's no confusion about where to look or who is saying what.

Just an FYI, I haven't gotten the Steam streaming platform to work with Restreamio yet. I'm not sure why, but on every instance that I log in to try out Steam it doesn't show a proper feed. I don't know if this is on my end, but I'm not too concerned with Steam anyhow. If your goal is to broadcast on Steam, I wouldn't take this route just yet. 

I'm not sponsored by Restreamio at all; I just think it's a fantastic platform that shows people the benefit of not being tied exclusive to one streaming channel. Take a look at their website by checking out the Restreamio homepage.

Thanks for reading. I typically am online 5 PM PST on Mixer, YouTube, and Twitch. Check the stream feed if you'd like located at the top of my blog where my other links are.

How to Tell if Someone is Viewbotting (and other malicious things)

There's an aspect of livestreaming video games that gets under my skin a bit. Viewbotting. A lot of streamers have done it in the past. In fact, I once caught someone viewbotting and looked at who the bots were "following." A laundry list of very familiar names showed up, many partnered accounts on Twitch with millions of followers. Well-known streamers making a living. It's definitely abused a lot on streaming platforms, sort of the "black hat" method of livestreaming. Thankfully, nobody I saw listed from those bot accounts was any streamer that I was supporting. I don't bother supporting anyone trying to find "get partnership quick" methods. If you want to build a business out of streaming video games , then please don't bother viewbotting. You'll eventually find you wasted your money and your community will likely abandon you. However, if you feel that someone is viewbotting, here's a few ways you can tell someone is

Twitch Los Angeles Meetup: One of the Best Events, Period

I'm kind of in awe. About two years ago, I attended a Twitch Los Angeles Meetup in Burbank. Back then it was still named Twitch Hollywood. But I knew I wanted to be a part of this because it was all about Twitch, video game livestreaming , and enjoying ourselves as gamers. Our last event, Saturday February 8th, was one of the best events I've ever been a part of. Small enough that plenty of folks knew each other, but large enough that we got deserved attention. Red Bull , Voodoo Ranger Beer , Need for Kneading , Twickle , artists, all sorts of companies came out. It was a fantastic night. We had a wonderful venue, the Hungarian Cultural Arts Center in Los Angeles. There were a few mishaps with moving in, but thankfully we were able to clear out whatever the previous guests were doing. Which strangely had to do with setting a bathtub on fire. People lined up around the block after parking about a mile away. We didn't think we'd get the attention
