Video Requirements for DLive Video Upload - [oo9] #tenminteach

welcome back to another video, today we are looking at some video requirements that i’ve been keeping to when uploading videos to dlive.

because it’s a new product that’s just scaling, still iterating it’s platform to host live streamers i’ve been making sure that my videos are encoded ’fastest’ in screenflow 7.2 and are 720p in size — they are quite small between hundred and a few hundred megs in size.

the maximum size of file upload is 1gig (that’s actually quite big anyway) and they prefer a .mp4 format video - a native format on both window and mac, you should be able to get a video saved in .mp4 on linux easily too.

i personally would suggest right now to encode in 720p (1280x720) in 16:9 format, double check that it’s a native .mp4 format — if you want to make an animated moving .gif file for a thumbnail check out my second video in this DLive series as i show you to do that with OBS and a bit of cloud app magic

if your video size is over 1gb it’s time to pull out the recompression tools to try and get the size down, you might find you have a full hd 1920x1080 file, this way you can use a tool like miro video converter and blast it through, it’s worth getting that software anyway to convert to .webm format later on if you start making custom OBS video animations — it’s a free mac download.
