Live Stream Practice

Just to see how both YouTube and Twitch felt to live stream on, me and chloe decided to try a gaming live stream with over laid video. We mainly streamed Minecraft through a PS4 however YouTube seemed to experience more problems than twitch when it came to setting up the stream. As much as this deters me slightly from recommending YouTube, Twitch is not really an appropriate streaming service for our project as Twitch is mostly gaming content. This may explain why is connected better with my PS4 than YouTube did however on the day we will be using a desktop so this will not be a problem.
We found that it was very difficult to attract viewers due to the sea of other videos that were also live which further reinforces the ideas that we will need to advertise our project on social media and try and give it more reach as even though it is not a gaming stream and is different from most of the usual live streams it will still not be heavily noticed on YouTube itself.
