stuff the witches were talking about i didn’t fully understand

Here I am, trying to explain some things I didn’t really understand myself before. Hope this will come helpful.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Now that I looked into it, i understand it at least a bit. I’ll try to explain it to you.

The Law of Attraction is the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. The Law of Attraction is the thing, that materializes our thoughts into reality. All thoughts turn into things eventually. Etc. If you focus on the negativity, and bad things you will keep on feeling sad. But if you focus on the good parts of the life, become ambitious of what you want to achieve, and you believe in yourself, at the end, you can do it. It is like witchcraft- witchcraft is basically a big law of attraction. See, you light a candle, etc. red for love, with the intention of attracting love into your life. If you write a spell or if you just say your intention with the most powerful words you can find, you are great to go. It is basically speaking or writing down your intentions, being clear with them and they are send into the universe like a bunch of vibrations. Yet somehow, they come back and they manifest, so you reacieve the love you were looking for! Not a lot of people understand it fully, but, if it works, there is no need to really bother.

so, you basically attract whatever you think about.

MANIFESTING

if you are new to withcraft, you might be already confused. So here I am again, trying to explain it all to you.

Manifestation is basically the result of the Law of attraction. Etc. You send out vibrations with the intention “i attract money and wealth” and manifesting is basically you getting what you let out, so you recieve more money.

Manifestation works alongside the Law of Attraction, a universal rule which is that thoughts can become things.(as i explained above).

You have done a spell, and it doesn’t work. Remember the law of attraction? You have used that just now to make the spell. And you are using it maybe even right now, unconciously. It works like this- if you keep on worrying about your magic, doubting the spell and thinking that it won’t work, it won’t. Try focusing on what you love and on what makes you feel good and happy and alive. Soon you’ll be attracting more of THAT. Manifestation is a magickal way of getting what you want, and the easiest and most powerful way to do that is to feel it. You can also use visualization to aid in manifesting. What I also do, is that i forget. I just forget when I did a spell and let it work for itself. The only thing i tell myslef when i think about it is “It is going to work, my magick works.”

A quick spell to get rid of anything what is blocking you away from manifesting:

You will need a piece of paper, pen, a candle (or just matches).

Center yourself. Take a few deep breaths and focus on what you are doing right now. You can burn some herbs or an incense to get rid of unwanted energies that are trying to interrupt your spell. Ground yourself by keeping your fett on the floor, imagining roots coming into the ground from you.

The first step to manifesting is to let go. So think of what’s holding you back from what you want. Whether it’s an unhealthy relationship, self-doubt, or money troubles, focus on what it is that you want to release. Write down what you want to let go of at the top of a piece of paper, focusing the energy and feelings you have as you write. Be intentional. You can write something like “I am done living in a place of fear” or “I release any self-doubt I may have” or “I am done living from a place of scarcity.” Again, this should feel right to you.

Now, burn it. Either put it in a fireproof bowl, fireplace or burn it by a candle, imagine the fire sending your intentions to the universe. Do it as many times as you like, until you know that it works and you have no doubt. Now ground yourself again.

Oof. This was hella long. I hope you understood at least a bit.

WHAT ARE ALL OF THOSE HERBS, CRYSTALS AND CANDLES FOR?

If you are a beginner witch, you might be wondering: Do I need all of this? Mugwort for this and that, incense, candles and a lots of shiny crystals? Why do all of the witches use these? What are they good for?

First, no, you don’t need any of these. All you need is yourself and a clear intention to work your magic. A lot of witches burn candles while doing spells. Why? Because candle magic is really simple, all you need is a candle and matches. “ Candle magick is a kind of alchemy, where all elements are represented — fire of the flame, air to feed it, melted wax for water, and solid wax for earth” so the candles empower your intention. You can also choose a colour of the wax, essential oil, herbs or carve a sigil into them. Candle magic is really great way to start.

All of those herbs, witchy tools, colorful candles are here to only strenghten your intention with their own energy. When you look at a rose, you might start thinking about romance, love, peace... these are the magickal properties of a rose. See, every item gives off an energy. You can keep your magic as simple as with only yourself and your intention, or you can add in various crystals or herbs only to strenghten it, But why herbs? How do you use them while just saying out your intention? You can burn them (pls be careful when doing so) if you are doing a spell for focus or memory, try burning some rosemary in a fireproof bowl, or lighting a rosemary incense. You can also add crystals around yourself while casting a spell to empower it with their energy. So if you are casting a money spell, try surrounding yourself with citrine, aventurine, anything golden, tigers eye... or of course, just some programmed clear quartz will do.

Both of crystals and herbs can be incorporated in witchbottles also. And jars are simply for storing these herbs.

If you are a beginner witch, there is no need to go off and buy tons of crystals like i did and go broke (like i did). A clear quartz is a substitute crystal for any you would need. As well as is rosemary for any other herb/plant, and aswell as is the color white for any other color of candles. And of course, you can find tons of herbs and spices in your own kitchen cabinet already. Cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, rosemary, basil... these might already be in there.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

you might have seen this quote or rather a saying somewhere before. I did a longer research on it, there is not much of a content out there.

(I will update this in a while, pls wait)

WHAT THE HECK IS BINDING MAGIC?

if i had to tell you right now, i wouldn’t know myself. Here i am to research it and give you some information!

A magical binding is simply a spell or working that restrains someone , preventing them from doing something. It is often used to keep the individual from causing harm to themselves or others. It is usually done in a positive way of preventing the person from doing harm themselves or the others. It’s like stopping them from doing bad stuff.

haha i think this is enough, you got it, right?

WICCA, WITCHCRAFT AND PAGANISM

final question. Which is which? what am i?

WICCA

is a religion, a belief. All wiccans are pagan, and they are also witches (basically pagan witches). They practice magick and witchcraft alongside with believing in divine energies. They follow the moon phases, that each moon phase has a different magical meaning. They celebrate 8 holidays- sabbaths, or either called pagan holidays. And since it is a religion, wiccans believe in a God and a Goddess, or multiple deities which is called eclectic wicca.

WITCHCRAFT

a witch is someone who works with herbs, potions, casts spells, crystals, natural healing... someone who does energy workings. Witches can be Muslim, Christian, whatever religion they choose to believe in, or they don’t have to be religious at all.

PAGANISM

is a wide variety of beliefs, in which is the nature worshipped. Pagans follow religious guidelines drawn out by nature- seasons, moon phases, weather... There are maaaany gods and Goddesses, they usually represent a part of nature or a celestial body. They can choose to wroship Celtic, Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Egyptian deities and many more. Pagans believe that we should not be superior to nature, she is the one who created us afterall. It’s like an umbrella of religions, under which are Hinduists, Wiccans, Shamanists...

IN CONCLUSION

All wiccans are pagan, but not all pagans are wiccan.

All wiccans are witches, but not all witches are wiccan.

boom. Period.

I hope you understand it all now, if you notice any mistakes, feel free to correct me.

Comparing existing magazines

As I've began to do some mild research, I thought it was beneficial to gather some information regarding my intended audience. I should see if there's a gap in the market for this particular self help magazine or if it would be high in demand or not. In this post, I have compared old magazines that were published for young women to see what has changed and what particular topics have became more popular over the years. Obviously magazines aren't as popular anymore for teens as most people would pick up a phone and scroll to kill time rather than buy a magazine from your local store however, I'm interested to see the comparison between the two.

Old vs New

At first, I was going to compare two magazines and analyse the differences however as I started to do some research, I thought it would be interesting to see how certain magazines which have been running for a long period have changed over time as digital journalism has grown. I will contrast these brands with zine businesses which suits my idea.

Tiger Beat:

Google states ’Tiger Beat was founded in September 1965 by Charles "Chuck" Laufer, his brother Ira Laufer, and television producer and host Lloyd Thaxton. The magazine features teen idol gossip and carries articles on movies , music and fashion.’ This magazine is aimed towards adolesant girls just like my idea which is interesting to see the differences. Its funny to see how young women were perceived from looking as this magazines as they seem very celebrity based. As Tiger Beat is created by men, I'm assuming this is what they think teenage girls think about. I would say in the 60s this was true as boy bands where the hot spot for screaming girls however personally having a magazine just to get in the celebrity gossip is draining. The 60s was a very pivotal time for music and musicians didn't have a massive social platform like most artists do now so having a magazine like this is where fans would get updates about their lives. I think my opinions about Tiger Beat are solely based on how this generation has changed, I've defiantly bought zines just like this if it has my idol on the front however when looking at certain quotations and how its predominantly males being displayed despite being for girls is strange to me. For example the third image on the right where it advertised a ‘Peek inside Justin Biebers room’. Not only does this feed on the artists personal life but it heightens this concept of teenagers becoming a obsessive fan. when looking at this magazine I begin to question whether this sort of content is normal for teenagers or am I just conditioned to believe it is what I should be thinking about as a teenage girl? Its even more ironic that this is made by men aswell but I don't know if that's the activist in me. To conclude, there was defiantly a gap in the market for supporting young adults when entering the real world as you can see.

Teen zone:

Again, continuing with my previous opinions Teen Zone had the same intentions for their audience. Looking back at their earlier issues, it mas predominantly celebrity based. This involves gossip, looks and updates in their ‘perfect’ lives. This defiantly increased the idea of needing to be famous and look good all the time in order to be successful or good in life. These magazines are full of photoshopped faces with content telling people that they could look a certain way to feel accepted. Although looking briefly at the magazines are harmless I think they can be deep rooting in the problems girls feel in society when growing up. The only difference with this magazine in comparison to Tiger Beat is that they are still running as a business and have changed their content significantly. Teen zone only publish online now and when researching into their content i was surprised when seeing their statement. It states ‘TeenZone Digital Magazine is a magazine for the South African teenager. Teens in today’s society are increasingly being fed a diet entirely consisting of celebrity gossip. This grossly underestimates them. Teens today have voices that we all need to hear. They need to be taken seriously, and to be given the opportunity to express their views and concerns; to ask the important questions and receive trustworthy, accurate advice; and to enjoy themselves in a safe environment. TeenZone seeks to provide this platform. It is a magazine for teens, by teens.’

Teens in society now are much more vocal on certain events and I think we are defiantly becoming more aware on subjects which we may have not noticed before. The fact that Teen Zone has turned this around and creating a platform for teens to speak on matters special to them in inspiring and what I want to do also. They've defiantly succeeded well since moving digital as articles are much more accessible than a printed zine.

This is a picture of their website which differs from their zine. They have toned down their imagery and noticed as they are able to add more content onto a site.

As i began to look further into popular magazines from particular decades, eg; teen vogue, J-14 etc, I began to see the same results and outcomes. They were all very similar in content but I was surprised to finally see a magazine which although was produced a little later than the others, was drastically different to the others. Both aesthetically and within their content. This was a magazine called Rookie.

Rookie:

What makes Rookie magazine so different to the others is that this business was created by teenagers for teenagers. They are much more closer to their audience and were able to relate to the content they were giving out. Rather than adults profiting of their perception of what a teenager goes through despite not being one. I personally can see the differences between the two. Firstly Rookie stood out to me because of its collage-like personality. Its much more playful and personal than the previous zines I've looked at. The layered imagery with colourful texture achieves this friendly environment for teenagers to read though. I defiantly want to achieve this with my zine and I am going to look into this sort of work digitally and also physically to achieve a dimensional look rather than all of my work looking flat or 2D.

This is a screenshot of Rookies site. Not only do they produce articles that teens can read for pleasure or to gain information, they also have platforms that can actually gives teens a place to talk and interact with others which I think is the drastic change for the industry. Interacting with the audience on a personal level proves that Rookie cares for their audience and wants to spark change. Unfortunately Rookie has stop publishing altogether as a business since 2018 for financial reasons.

Other magazines that I am interested in: As I've looked into previous magazines and began to understand their concept and beliefs, I began to look into modern magazines that also produce the same concept as me and to see what makes them so different especially since there has been a massive sift in the journalism industry. Both of the publications below are fairly similar. Both want to create change and form a safe space where women learn new subjects which may not be normalise yet are very important for personal growth. They both combine their articles with art which helps create a visual understanding of their zine even better than standard text. I defiantly aim to follow these footsteps but I need to search for an unique concept that could help my idea become more popular for a young girl to read. I wanted to this as sadly both of these zines are either discontinued or temporality stopped making issues which makes me assume this idea isn't that successful so far whether that's due to the pandemic or society as a whole I'm unsure as of yet. I will begin to look at the impact of Covid on magazines later to understand why so many of these great businesses aren't running anymore despite having a positive impact on young women.

Got a girl crush: “Got a Girl Crush is a blog and annual print magazine about women, by women, for everyone. We aim to disrupt the broken narrative of most women's publications and tell stories of all ages, races, and backgrounds of women all over the world. We believe that print is not dead and that there is value to having a tangible medium to read, digest, and share--rather than sharing a link online that is easily forgotten tomorrow.”

(Issue 3, published September 2016 from https://issuu.com/gotagirlcrush/docs/girlcrush_issue05_content-final )

I liked this magazine statement because it isn't restrictive on a specific audience. They mention that their content is open for anyone which I think is surprising. When thinking about making this zine I wanted to think of content that isn't too limiting or biased towards women as I think the real change in society will have to come from men's views and actions aswell as women's. When looking at their monthly articles, it was very text heavy. They had many important figures like planetary scientist Carolyn Porco, human rights activist Grace Lee Bogg menstrual activist & drummer Kiran Gandhi etc. Each had powerful stories to tell and impact onto readers. Despite this the illustrations and other visual forms of art broke down this barrier which is why it didn't look too overwhelming. I will follow through with this if not add more art into my final outcome as I’d like to be more creative for this project and really experiment with collaging. I had briefly did this in the first project and enjoyed the process.

Selva Beat: “Selva Beat is an environmental magazine with an edge. We take environmentalism and place it in the context of your favorite topics – beauty, fashion, culture, food, sex, love – to make activism as accessible and engaging as possible. Founded in 2014, we began as a way of educating the public about conflict palm-oil and have expanded into a multi-media platform that motivates others to better the planet through creative means.”

A magazines visual décor is very important as sadly you do judge the book by the front cover. Initially, this is what I liked about Selva Beat, it was very colourful and they had nice curvy, bubbled typography which isn't that common on magazines. When researching I didn't realise they were very environmentally orientated aswell as being a conscious feminist magazine. I was saddened that they aren't running anymore as I think this magazine would've been a good pivotal point.

Itch.io

Today we are looking into Itch.io. Itch.io is an amazing website where people can upload there content whether it is full games or just little starter packs for people to use to create there own games. Itch.io is a free website to use and accessible by all. People can either upload there games/content for free or ask for a small donation for people to play it. We are looking into Itch.io as unfortunately due to resent circumstances it isn't as easy for people to play test our games anymore. By uploading our game we can get other classmates to play and test it from there own pcs in order to gain feed back. Not only can we get feedback from class mates we can also get feedback from other people online who have decided to try out the game.

What we are doing is searching up games which are similar to the ones we are creating. This is so we can get a rough idea as to what is already out there and has been played already. We are also looking into similar ones in order to see how the creator has presented them and displayed them. We need to be able to see what catches people eye which may pull them into playing the game. Firstly the first thing I searched up was just Dungeon as my game is a dungeon game. I decided to look into this game as it had a some what intergang thumbnail picture.

However once I clicked into it although the picture and description were interesting I found the design of the page to be rather underwhelming and bland. In all honesty I didn't really find this to be very enticing. I think that the person could of changed the color scheme in order to fit in with the ambience of his game in order to entice people in more and to make them want to play the game. I also think that the game could of used more images and maybe even a video to showcase what the game is like. However the game is somewhat similar to mine with the aim of the game. Your in a dungeon and your aim is to try and escape alive. This game also has a genre set to action which by the look of the image doesn’t really make sense to me. When I saw the image I got the impression of a more horror game than an action game. This game must be downloaded which is understandable as it is a more detailed game and isn't as basic as most online games. However if it was playable online it would be a lot more convenient.

The next game I looked at was a zombie dungeon game. This one really caught my art as it has a nice colour scheme aswell as some good art. This one is the best laid out one I looked into as it was all cohesive and went together well. I really like the art work and I easily understood what kind of game it was. However it would of been nice to of had a video of the gameplay. I also really like the menu design of the game and the option of different difficulties in the game. One thing I don’t like about the game from the screen shots is the health bars. I find them distracting in games and even though it allows the player to know how much health the enemy has left I find them to be pointless on enemies which aren't boss’s as the player can easily figure out how many shots it takes to kill an enemy through experimentation.

The only other thing I can fault is that the page doesn’t have a description for the game. When I clicked more information it just came up with when it came out and was last updated ect. However I did find out that this game did actually come out recently.

The final one I looked at was The Zombie Problem 2. I looked into this as it was a first-person zombie shooter game. It was similar to my game with the fact that it is first person, contains zombies and tries to go for a more realistic 3d style. This game really intrigued me and drew me in. The lay out is somewhat nice, not perfect but it has character. I like that it contains a lot of images which really gives us an idea as to what the game is like. Its also really nice to see YouTube videos of people playing the game so you can get an insight into how it plays As well as what people think to it. I also like the fact that the game is multiplayer meaning you can enjoy it with your friends.

Here is a YouTube video that the actual creator of the game created and uploaded onto the page.

Note

@maya-the-cute-ass-bee but surely if someone sees noncon, dark, creampie, light breeding, kidnapping and proceed with caution they are aware that this may actually be a dark fic with non con sex? I connected those warnings easily enough. Especially when warnings of light breeding and cream pie are the mix aswell?

We are not infallible occasionally we miss out warnings but usually its because there are so many to add, we do our best. And most of the time you dont need word for word warnings ( even though i have always classified fics with non con as sex because usually in fics it is but that might be personal opinion) but warnings as a collective group manage to give you a generic overveiw of the fic.

I mean I try my best when putting warnings on my own stuff and be clear about my works contents but im not here to spoon feed if i was the warnings would end up being half as long as the fic. I would have thought people triggered by such material would be more aware and able to connect the dots in the warnings just like a majority of people do.

I don't like certain things in fics, and if a writer accidentally forgets to add a specific worded warning. I don't soldier through and read the full thing then bitch about it. I stop reading when I realise its not something I'm comfortable with and move on and read something I do like. And if I feel the writer should add something to the warnings I politely private message them giving them a heads up. Usually they are cool about it and its an honest mistake or slip of the mind. But to send asks like this that are nasty and accusing people of triggering readers and insinuating it was done on purpose is uncalled for.

so dark kidnapping chasing kink is the new words for rape ? you just should put a rape kink into the warnings. don’t trigger people for no reason. Wtf.

No, it says Dark. It says Non-Con. Non-Consensual stands for the word rape. It also says “proceed with caution”. I am not trying to trigger people “for no reason” as I am not forcing anyone to read my stories and I make sure to properly tag with warnings.

Stream to 30 Platforms Simultaneously with Restream.io

What’s up guys, welcome back once againto the Gaming Careers YouTube channel where we aim to teach you everything todo with live-streaming and to do with content creation within the gaming niche.

Are you finding it hard to stand out on Twitch amongst the tens of thousandsof other streamers trying to stand out there? Maybe you think ‘is there a betterplatform to be streaming to as a beginner streamer or as a streamertrying to get noticed?’ You may know that there’s plenty of other platforms thatnow want to promote your live stream but which one to stream to.

Well in today'svideo we’re going to be looking at a service called restream which allowsyou to stream to Twitch, Mixer, Facebook, YouTube Gaming, smashcast and over 30other platforms, all at the same time, all without any additional bandwidth orperformance hits on your PC and all completely for free.

Sounds good? Let'sdive in! So before we hop onto the computer and take a look at restream, Ithink it’s important to discuss what I think the benefits are of using aservice like restream and the first and most obvious one is that it multipliesthe platforms that you are on so not only have you got a chance of justgetting discovered on Twitch but if you’re streaming to other platforms aswell there are people that are using those sites and they may discover youthere.

So you obviously are multiplying your audience because you’re on moreplatforms so you’re more easy to discover.

Now maybe one or two years ago, Twitch was really the only platform where you could stream with the hopes ofmaking it your career but recently a lot of other companies have been gettinginvolved, obviously you’ve got Google who owns YouTube, you’ve got Microsoft whoowns Mixer, you’ve got Facebook, you’ve got Twitter, they’re all getting into thelivestream scene and they all want to help promote your stream.

So it’s worthconsidering platforms other than Twitch nowadays.

Now add on to that that Twitchis probably the hardest platform to get started on just because there’s so manystreamers battling to try and get viewers, whereas services like YouTubeGaming have less people streaming to it, so there’s more chance for you gettingdiscovered.

Also YouTube just announced that YouTube Gaming and YouTube, theirsubscriptions are going to be combined so people that subscribe to you onYouTube Gaming, your videos are going to appear in theirYouTube feed and vice-versa, so this is good news for people that arestreaming to platforms like YouTube Gaming and that is really why I thinkthat restream is such a great service, because you don’t need to know whichplatform is best for you because you can stream to all of them at the same timeand then over time you can start to understand where your audience lives andwhich platform is best for you to stream to.

Now you might be thinking thatrestream, that sounds great but how on earth am I meant to monitor chat fromFacebook, YouTube, Twitch, beem, all of these different platforms that Iwant to stream to all at the same time and thankfully restream has thought of asolution for that as well.

They’ve built an app that pulls all ofthese streams that you’re streaming to, all the chat into one window so we'llcover that later in the video but let’s dive into the restream software.

So thefirst thing that you’re going to want to do is to head over to restream.

io andsign up for an account, all that you need to do is input a username, email anda password.

I’ve already created mine so I’m justgoing to log in instead but once you have created an account you maybe haveto click a link in an email just to confirm that that is your email but youshould log in and arrive at the dashboard.

Now the dashboard shows allthe different platforms and the channels that you’ve connected to restream, sincethis is a brand new account we haven’t yet connected any platforms so if weclick on add channel we will open up the options for all the different platformsthat we can stream to with restream.

As you can see here there is a lot ofchoice.

For the purposes of this video I’m going to connect my Twitch, myYouTube and my Mixer accounts.

Each time that you select a platform to connectyou will need to log in to that platform and authorize restream to be able toaccess some of your information.

The process here has been designed to besuper simple which I absolutely love, it makes it so easy for you to add as manyplatforms as you desire.

It’s worth noting here that if you want to streamto two different accounts from the same streaming platform, so to separate Twitchaccounts for example then you will need to purchase the doubling package fromrestream.

If you just want to stream to one account from each platform you canstream to all 30 different platforms completely for free.

Each time you add aplatform successfully you should see it show up in your dashboard.

There’s anoption to turn each channel on and off so if you want to not stream to one ofyour accounts one day you can quite easily turn it off here before youstart streaming.

You can also click this little cog icon and go into the Editsettings which allows you to choose which Twitch server to stream to andedit your display name.

I’d recommend leaving the server on autodetect as this is no longer the server that is best for your connection betweenyour computer and Twitch, but this is the server that is best for the connectionbetween restream’s server and Twitch’s server.

Underneath each channel name youalso have a little status which shows if you are offline, connecting or online toeach platform.

Once you’ve successfully added all the platforms that you want tostream to we can start setting up OBS studio or streamlabs OBS for streamingto restream.

Remember how this works is that we send our stream data from OBS orstreamlabs OBS to a restream server.

Restream then takes this data and sendsit on to our individual streaming platforms.

Over on the right hand side ofyour dashboard we first need to set up which restream server we will besending our stream to.

There’s a little drop-down which gives you all thedifferent server locations that restream has.

You should choose the option herewhich is nearest to you geographically.

There’s also an option here to run aquick speed test which basically just pings all the servers from your locationand gives you the result in milliseconds.

Now I know that’s not the greatest ormost thorough connection test but still it’s better than nothing you want tochoose the server with the lowest ping.

Next we are given our stream key.

Nowexactly like Twitch or YouTube or any of the other services, you should keep thiskey completely private as it’s the only thing that’s required somebody else tostream to all of your accounts.

If for some reason you share it with somebodylike I’m doing in this video, you can of course reset it by clicking this littlerefresh icon here.

Select the whole stream key and copy it then we’ll headinto our streaming software.

I’m going to show you both OBS and streamlabs OBSquickly since they’re exactly the same.

So we start by going to settings, thenthe stream tab and under service we will select restream.

io, for the serverwe’re going to choose the same server that we just selected in the dashboardand then finally we are going to paste in our stream key.

In SLOBS it’s theexact same process, go to Settings, stream, select restream.

io, choose the serverand paste the stream key.

One final thing that we need to do if you’re using OBSor streamlabs OBS is to fix a little issue which currently existsthat one of the restream engineers has told me about for best results.

So goback into your settings and select the output tab, if your current output modeis set to simple we need to make a quick note of these two settings here, ourbitrate and our encoder.

Now we can change the output mode to advanced as weneed to disable an option in here.

First let’s set our encoder and our bitrateback to what we just noted down from the simple tab, next we want to uncheck thisbox 'enforce streaming service encoder settings’, we’ll then set our keyframeinterval to 2 and change our profile to main.

I know this sounds complex and Ihaven’t really explained what these settings do, but it’s just really anissue with how OBS and streamlabs OBS are enforcing the restream encodersettings wrongly.

Just to reiterate I’ll do it in streamlabs OBS as well.

Go tosettings, to the output tab, change to advanced and check this box, set this to2 and set this to main, and then make sure that our encoder and our bitrateare the same as what they were when we were on the simple output mode.

Now technically we have done everything that we need to do to go live onmultiple platforms using restream but there are a couple of other features Iwant to talk about before we do.

Back on the restream website the titles tab, thisjust allows you to change the title and the game of all your connected streamchannels.

So here I can enter a single title that I want to show as my streamtitle across all my connected platforms and then of course I can go into eachaccount and edit the game that I’m playing if I want to.

The social alertstab this just allows you to post a tweet and a status to your Twitter and yourFacebook pages whenever you go live which is pretty handy.

The monitor tab isa really useful tool that allows you to monitor your streams as they arehappening in real time, and I know if you go to your monitor tab right now sincewe’re not streaming, it won’t show anything but I’m gonna show you somedata from when I streamed earlier.

Here you can look at your live incomingstream data so you can see exactly what bitrate, what resolution, what frame rateyou’re sending to restream as well as things like dropped frames.

The graphs beloware super useful in diagnosing any issues that you’re having with yourstreams similarly to how I showed you guys in the Twitch inspector video.

I couldgo into absolutely loads of detail here about how you can analyze these graphsand fix stream issues but I’ll probably save that for another more advancedvideo, so if you guys want to see that do just let me know down in the comments.

Aswell as looking at your incoming stream data the data that you are sending fromOBS or streamlabs OBS to restream, you can also click across and look at theoutgoing streams that restream is sending out to the individual platformslive in real time.

Again here we can see useful data like bitrate as well asthings like if restream has ever had to reconnect to the service.

The final tabthat we will look at is the chat tab.

Now as I said earlier this is restream'ssolution for gathering all of your chat windows from all the different platformsthat you’re going to be streaming to into one.

This way you can make sure thatyou don’t miss any viewers who are chatting to you and you can interactwith them back no matter which streaming platform they are watching on.

Restreamhave also made it incredibly easy to include this multichat window into yourstream with OBS or streamlabs OBS if you want your viewers to be able to seethe chat that’s coming from all your different streaming platforms.

Youcan include it quite easily.

There are two different options for the chatapplication, there’s a web chat version that runs in your browser or there’s anapplication that you can download for PC or for Mac.

Firstly we’ll look at the web chat version.

You can see here it shows you apreview of what your chat will look like along with some example messages frommultiple platforms.

Each message will show an icon of the platform, thechatting users username on that platform, as well as their message and the time ofthe message.

On the right here you can change the theme between a few differentoptions, so have a play around see which one you like the look of.

Next you canchange if you want new messages to show at the bottom or at the top of the chatwindow.

You also have a couple of options here to alter the opacity of both themessage background and the chat background as a whole and you can changeexactly how large the text and the chat window is by adjusting the scale here.

Finally you can choose to hide messages after a number of seconds, so this isuseful if you are a newer streamer or maybe you’re just a streamer that istrying your hardest to grow and you don’t have that much chat interactiongoing on, you don’t want people with messages to stay up on your stream formultiple seconds so you can you can set a timer here for how long they shouldshow for before they’re hidden.

At the very top you’ll also have a long linkthat you can use in OBS or streamlabs OBS as a browser source to have yourchat as a source that you can display on your stream, but we’ll be covering thatonce we’ve downloaded the Windows application.

Now although the web chat isawesome the downloadable application has quite a few more features many of whichwe won’t have time to go into in this video but I’d still recommend it ifyou’re going to be streaming with restream often.

You should download andinstall the standalone chat application.

Once it has installed it should allowyou to log into your restream account so log in and it should look a little likethis.

Now up in the top left corner it should show the number of platforms thatyour chat is currently connected to as well as the number of users in all ofthe combined channels.

If you click anywhere in the top left here it willshow you all of your chats, their current connection status and how many users arewatching on that channel.

Now before we dive into the settings of this chat applet’s just have a look at the chat in action.

So I’m going to open up mybrowser and open up my Twitch, YouTube and my Mixer chats and then typesome example messages to see them appear in therestream chat window.

As you can see all the chats from the platforms I'veconnected are collected into this one window and it’s super easy to interactwith your chat from all the different platforms.

If you click on the little cogicon up here, the settings window will open up.

Now I’m not going to go throughall the settings here but you can see that there are some cool features, thingslike connecting your discord, filtering out certain words from your chat as wellas filtering out words based on the platform, you can change the actualwindow appearance and font sizes of the messages, the nickname and the timestamp.

You can set up notifications and text-to-speech, there’s an auto replying bot, there’s ways to export your chat and your viewercounters, loads of cool features but all of those are probably going to call fora more advanced video at a later date.

But the one that I do want to quicklycover is embedding your restream chat into your stream, now this is exactly thesame as the web chat but all you have to do once you’ve got the chat appearing asyou want to, you know play around with the appearance with these settings hereon the right.

Once you’re happy is you go up to the box here, copy this URL and gointo OBS or streamlabs OBS and add a new browser source to the scene you wantto show you’re chat on, then paste in the URL, set the width and height to whateveryou want and click OK.

You now have your multistream chat appearing in thestream for your viewers.

It’s really as easy as that, you can go back andchange the appearance, the opacity all those kind of things and they willupdate in your streaming software.

Now if we quickly go back to our browser andtest by typing in these chat windows, you should see them appearing in your streamnow.

That is everything that we need to set up to be able to use restream, we'reready to hit start streaming in our streaming software and then head back tothe restream dashboard.

Now restream does add about a 1-2 second delay to yourstream which is pretty impressive really considering what they are doing with allof that data.

So after a few seconds we should see that our stream previewshould show and then we should also see that our individual platforms go fromoffline to connecting, eventually to online and that’s it.

We are now live onmultiple platforms at the same time.

So I just want to quickly give a little wordof warning to those that are lucky enough and worked hard enough to be ableto have signed an affiliate contract with Twitch or apartner contract with Twitch because if you look through your contract theremight be a clause in there about exclusivity.

And it basically, it sayssomething like that you agree to stream to Twitch and thatcontent won’t appear anywhere else for something like 24 hours.

So have a lookthrough your contract because if that is the case then unfortunately you probablycan’t use a service like restream since technically that content is going liveto multiple different platforms at the same time and not just Twitch, which iswhat is stated in your contract.

So just a little word of warning if you’re luckyenough to have one of those contracts be sure to make sure you’re not breaking it.

Well that is it guys, I hope you have enjoyed and learned something new fromthis video, if you have please do give it a thumbs up, it helps us understand whatkind of content to keep creating and if you haven’t subscribed yet please dohave a look around at the Gaming Careers YouTube channel, has all these guides about streaming and content creation in gaming.
