Glimesh Beginner Guide 2022

This video provides a beginner's guide to Glimesh.tv, covering account creation, connecting with OBS Studio, and customizing stream settings.

Here's a breakdown of the key steps:

• Creating an Account The video begins by demonstrating how to register for a Glimesh.tv account, including entering a username, email, and password (0:00-1:01). It also suggests considering whether to receive newsletter emails for platform updates (0:26).

• Finding Your Stream Key To stream, you need your unique stream key. The video shows how to access this by navigating to your profile settings and then channel settings (1:24-2:40). It emphasizes the importance of keeping this key private to prevent unauthorized streaming on your account (2:16).

• Connecting OBS Studio The guide explains how to connect OBS Studio to Glimesh, noting that newer versions of OBS have built-in Glimesh support (2:41-3:32). You'll go to OBS settings, select 'Stream,' choose Glimesh as the service, select a server location, and paste your copied stream key.

• Starting and Viewing Your Stream After setting up OBS, the video demonstrates how to start streaming and then view your live stream on your Glimesh channel (3:36-4:26).

• Customizing Stream Settings The tutorial concludes by detailing various stream customization options (4:48-9:18). These include:

  • Setting your channel category (e.g., gaming, IRL, education, music, tech, art) (4:57-5:15).

  • Adding tags (e.g., "casual," "playthrough") to help discoverability (5:18-5:36).

  • Configuring chat persistence, allowing you to choose whether past chat messages appear in new streams (5:50-6:47).

  • Controlling link posting in chat, either making them clickable or blocking them (6:50-6:57).

  • Requiring confirmed emails or a minimum account length before viewers can chat, which helps manage community interaction and prevent unwanted activity (6:57-8:41).

  • Setting chat rules using markdown (8:44-9:16).
