Software
Live studio: Ecamm Live. This helps produce your stream, show your desktop and camera, switch screens, and will even allow you to take live Skype calls. (Example)
Restreaming: Restream.io. This will take your live video stream and re-broadcast it to multiple platforms at once: YouTube, Twitch, Periscope, Facebook Live, etc…
Chat: Restream.io will also provide you with a consolidated chat, that shows you the incoming messages you’re getting from all the platforms.
Where I stream
Periscope.tv/mijustin – this is Twitter’s live stream service, and it’s currently where I’m getting most of my views.
Twitch.tv/megajustin – originally meant for video game streamers, it’s increasingly becoming the home for “technical content.”
Facebook.com/nerdmullet – I don’t have a huge following on Facebook, but I’m still streaming there a bit.
Other software you can use:
Open Broadcast Software – open source live-broadcasting software. I found it a little too hairy to manage (so many options, so many ways for it to go wrong).
Streamlabs – a Windows-only fork of OBS, that tries to improve on its downsides.
Lightstream – another impressive looking livestreaming suite.
