Introduction to DLive and live-streaming by @ajaxalot
This was our third presentation at the Austin Steemit meetup and the one I learned the most about.
I knew very little about DLive and live-streaming in general but @ajaxalot really breaks it down well for us.
Some highlights from this presentation are:
DLive vs. Twitch - DLive currently does not take a cut of your rewards. Twitch takes 50% of the subscription and 40% of donations.
Four main categories on DLive: Games, Music, Learning, and Lifestyle.
What you need to get started:
Computer
Internet
Broadcasting application options - Open Broadcast Studio or StreamLabsImproving the stream with:
Microphone
Camera
Overlays
Plugins
Personality

Give DLive a shot. I know I will soon.
If you want to chat with @ajaxalot you could find him at The Steem Experience or SteemSpeak on Discord .
I have one more presentation from @steemcafe about the Steem Creators Conference in Las Vegas coming out tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Hey, that's me! 😁

Thanks @ruwan for this nice explainer video of DLive. We're currently discussing recording/streaming options for the Philly Steem Meetup and @hypnopreneur pointed me to this post. Nice to see a that Austin has a thriving Steem community!
Anyways, at the beginning you call DLive a "decentralized streaming platform". Perhaps, I don't understand DLive's architecture, but to me it seems entirely centralized. The source code is not open and the videos / streams are not deposited via an open storage / file transfer protocol. The persistence of DLive recordings and the availability of the service is entirely dependent upon @dlive startup.
So I'm not really sure if streaming via DLive is any different than posting a YouTube livestream link on Steem in terms of centralization. In both cases, the voting is decentralized via Steem, but the actual content (the video) is provided by a centralized service. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Yeah, I learned the most from this presentation too. Very well done! Thank both of yall!
