Yesterday, I did my first official live coding on Twitch. If you're interested in following me on Twitch, I'm nickytonline there as well.

I'm curious — when streaming on Twitch, can you use a custom background. Not sure if it's called a green screen background, but that's how I always think of it...
In short, I'm wondering where your igloo is, haha!
Yes you can.
In OBS, you just have to add an image source behind everything and set the background image you want.
You can even change it scene by scene.
The most fun thing are stinger transitions. You can see them on big streamers, but they are very easy to set up.
And for the camera, you can use a green screen and simulate a location. Very easy to set up as well.
It's on my TODO to get my igloo haha.
Nice! Just an FYI, Streamlabs OBS is now available for Mac! It provides a considerably larger set of tools for stream overlays.
Congrats on starting the stream journey! Something I've been dabbling with recently as well. 🎉
Nice. Is it a plugin for OBS or a complete replacement for it?
It's basically their branded version of OBS. It's a separate app
This is cool! I've followed, hopefully I can check out some of your live coding and see more of how DEV is put together.
I've been live coding on Twitch recently too, playing around with various projects in React and Node.
Nice! I gave you a follow as well. Currently I’m building out some Preact components.
I've been also interested in doing live coding myself and had a time setting up a broadcasting tool my desktop screen so I'm glad to see this post! In fact, for the challenges of setting up a broadcasting tool, I thought about using YouTube live, it seems much easier to setup and seems to help me achieve similar goals, e.g., live, interactive, collaborative online coding?
Have anyone used YouTube live for live coding? Any thoughts on its pros & cons compared to twitch?
I saw other posts online:
but was curious about dev community's experience.
Love it.
I think that this moment at home makes all of us more ready to streaming, sharing, etc.
I was thinking about this for a long time now and did my first stream last Wednesday.

I did not have any live audience for my first stream but loved the process anyway.
I hope to have at least one more on Thursday. :-D
Awesome and congrats on your first stream as well!
Perfect timing! I've been tuning in to a lot more lifestreams recently and I was looking for more people to follow. I'm thinking about dabbling with streaming on the web design/photoshop fun side.
I’m streaming again today at 10am Eastern if you want to the in.
I've decided on my live coding frequency
