Streaming Retrospective

Here are my observations. Your constructive feedback is also welcome.

  • The 4/27 live stream suffered from repeated buffering issues due to problems with OBS. OBS had given me some minor issues prior, and I had considered replacing it with something more reliable. I had also considered separating the streaming and photo editing processing since they are both CPU/GPU hogs. When they run on the same computer, one will suffer. I picked up a Black Magic Design ATEM Mini Pro ISO to handle switching sources and streaming. This proved to be a much more reliable setup for the 5/4 stream.
  • Viewers in chat indicated that ads running during the live stream cut off part of the stream. I have no control over this timing, so I’ll turn ads off during future streams.
  • Trimming dead air from the beginning and end of the live-stream video deletes the chat replay. ☹️ I wish YouTube had warned of this before saving. In the future, I will begin streaming at the start time, so I don’t need to trim the video later. This will preserve the chat on replay.
  • I need to move my chat monitor up higher so that my head is not buried while reading the chat. I think I need one of those six monitor setups. 😆
