- I use restream.io
- no
- chat combining
- depends on how much you are asking
I know the reason you are doing the kind of poll cause restream.io has a weird rule about adding new platforms. Hear me out!
What i sorta like is how at least vimm has a feature where you can read Twitch, Mixer and Vimm chat with a special overlay that i simply open on my browser. Calimeatwagon found a way to make it go further with having your vimm chat go into discord and have restream relay to chats like youtube and dlive and that really works well for him!
Twitch and Mixer are too mainstream to not stream to and if your just a casual like me then that is all I care to maintain my network on those platforms as i work on adding on to my network with people of vimm. So what i do to stream to 3 platforms? At 1st i tried the paid version. I was able to snag a one year deal on humble bundle. That worked out since i was able to add VIMM to the list but once my year was over I can't stream to vimm anymore unless i renew. So what did i do? I ended up setting up a RTMP server that points to restream and VIMM. I use the trick i learned calimeatwagon so if i wanted to stream to dlive with restream i can at least have them chat it up. Lately I have only been restreaming when i am doing something "big" like trying out a new version of a game being in developement or when i am doing a minecraft series which i am about to do one soon. If i just wanna stream I tend to stream to whatever platform I feel I want to stream to. Lately I been streaming to VIMM cause i want to be noticed a bit.
You mention 3speak and honestly i just learned it had livestreaming a month ago and yet to do my 1st stream. If i were to stream to 3speak i want to at least stream to VIMM since both platforms are on the same blockchain so why not eh? Right now since 3speak is still newer to me as VIMM is even though i been using VIMM for almost a year now I am unsure of any special chat features 3speak has to offer like VIMM did.
Adding a lot of platforms is a pain in the ass if you can't have a proper way to keep up with chat. That is why i love how restream is getting better at the relays. At least with the discord trick we can add vimm to the restream chat and as for 3speak? If they have some deal where you can get their chat into discord like VIMM does then yeh i may start using 3speak. The less windows open the better!
If the HIVE restream service were able to combine all the chats into a client you use for an overlay, or to a discord chat via webhooks, and you got both vimm and 3speak free, and paid $2 a month per additional service you wanted to include, what would you think about that?
Better then $14 which is way overpriced. I understand that price for adding a RTMP server that may lead to 5+ other non related services that are compatible but i just want one added platform where the platform already has it's own chat relay.
There is one streamer i come in mind and I am trying to find a way to get in contact with him. He basically streams to ALL the platforms he can to spread the truth. I know for sure he uses restream and very active on dlive and youtube when he is live. The other platforms he has people chatting but we have no way of knowing what they are saying. He seems to have the chat open on those platforms but us viewers miss out on the conversation and never know how many people are even watching on those platforms. Now i know it may take some time and effort to make all the platforms chats to be compatible with each other but for $2 per service with the donations he gets from viewers he can afford the cost. Heck if this is to be a thing where if you use this special new restream on the hive blockchain the more activity you get from restreaming to compatible platforms the more rewards you can receive. Something like that can defiantly get people to use the service.
