Webinair – Livestream designNow does it work for every platform that’s out there?
Sadly, not every single one. You can use it however on Facebook / Twitch or Youtube. Soon there will be Behance as well. ( I’m currently testing out Behance myself. ) There is a way to do it with Instagram but it’s not very stable.
Instagram on PC
Instagram has historically always been a mobile-only platform, and that includes limitations on their streaming. As of right now, as near as I can tell, there are only two ways to broadcast to Instagram via a PC. One is to use their official cross-compatible app that only works in Windows 10. The other is to emulate the app using a phone emulator like Bluestacks. Or use OBS with Airserver to stream your Phone to your laptop.
What do you need:
- OBS
- A mic ( headphones with mics work )
- Headphones ( if you don’t want other sounds )
- Livetsream overlays ( soon on the website )
- Streamkey ( The websites you use will give this to you when you go live)
What can be used as extra?
- Airserver
- Alerts
- Emotes ( if you are affiliate on Twitch this can benefit you, Users pay for the use of your emotes )
- Discord ( if you stream with multiple people, smart for podcasts )
- A professional Mic
- Epidemic Sounds ( copyright free music )
- Epoc Cam Pro ( iPhone app to simulate a webcam for OBS )
As you can see, you don’t need a lot to get started. . It’s very much up to you.
