The possibilities of how to use Substack just expanded exponentially for people who don’t mind going online and what makes the ability to use a program like OBS to stream great is that, if you want, you don’t have to have yourself on camera. It can just be your voice!
This, I think, will now incorporate yet another place I used to use into my Substack basket, which is Twitch. A platform primarily for Gamers that just so happens to have attempted reaching creatives as well to their platform. But pretty soon they realized the real money was with Gamers, so while creatives still use the platform (like myself) it doesn’t feel as welcoming anymore.
Having Substack as a place for me to place my desire to be creative on camera and just share my process in a more real-time way, and log that work alongside the stories I put out is really amazing and special. I look forward to seeing what everyone does with this newfound ability.
This is just a test so it’s a short video. So far I found the process of goign Live seamless, if it was a bit confusing as well. Will be interesting to see how it works each time I go Live. But now that I know it basically works the same as going Live on Twitch, the time has come for me to revisit the list I made a while ago when Substack Live via the mobile app rolled out to everyone. The list I made there may not translate well to this time of horizontal, screen sharing, type of streaming and visa versa so I’ll need to update and add to. But don’t worry, I’ll share my thoughts soon.
Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.
