MIXER COMMANDS

 

Here is a current list of active user commands on my Mixer channel. Just type these into chat. Items within [brackets] require additional text input. Most of these are Scorpbot commands. There are a few within Firebot and I will be experimenting with Streamlabs Chatbot soon as well.

MY SOFTWARE SETUP

Streaming with a capture card and PC gives you the creative freedom to design and layout your channel as you see fit. I will run down my current software setup that I currently run. I will also try and keep this page updated as I experiment or swap out software.

 

OS:

 

 

Main streaming software:

Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) and experimenting with the StreamlabsOBS beta.

 

Elgato drivers and game capture software which allow the capture card to talk with OBS. Note that this software is not opened directly but used more like a plug-in to OBS.

 

Bots:

 

Scorpbot runs most of my channel commands, keeps track of my viewer stats and currency. I also use the chat function to monitor chat.

 

 

Firebot: Initially I ran all my interactives through Scorpbots's built in Interactive board, but have since switched over to Firebot as it is a little more user friendly and gives some more flexibility with the details of you buttons.

 

 

VLC Player: Handles my channel tunes.

 

 

Snaz: awesome freeware program that I use for my countdown and streamboss timers. There is additional functionality that allows you to cycle text, show real time readouts of your PC stats, etc.

 

 

Discord app. I keep Discord open all the time and use streamer mode while streaming. It silences all notifications, but it's good to have in case you get an important DM or have to handle something mid stream.

 

 

Websites:

Loots. I keep this open as I find it easier to read loots messages directly from the website.

 

 

Streamlabs.com. my go-to site to handle stream notifications, giveaway wheel spins, streamboss, tip jar, Streamlabels, etc. This is what I consider my workhorse of the stream. Streamlabs does such an amazing job keeping this up to date for us Mixer streamers.

MY STREAM SETUP

My streaming setup is currently geared towards gaming console streaming however with a few minor input and output adjustments, same or separate PC streaming can easily be accomplished.

What you will see here is by no means a minimum in equipment you need to get started streaming. In fact, I would argue against purchasing all this equipment if you are just starting out. When I set my mind to something I tend to over do it a bit. It also doesn't help that I am somewhat of an audiophile so I strive to create the best quality content for your viewing pleasure.

Most current gen gaming consoles have built in streaming options so you could get started with that and the addition of a basic headset with microphone if you intent on interacting with your audience, which I highly recommend.

Direct console streaming is somewhat limited compared to streaming through a capture card on a PC, but it is definitely a start. Introducing a PC and capture card opens up a lot more possibilities for fancy green screen effects, overlays, sounds, interactive boards, etc. that you see as the norm on streaming sites.

I plan to create addition write ups breaking down some of thia content so check back often for updates.
