Quickly Get Started With Glimesh

This video provides a quick guide on how to set up your first stream on Glimesh, a new streaming platform that has just launched its alpha version (0:03).

Here's a breakdown of the steps:

• Account Setup and Profile Settings (0:21-1:52):

  • Go to Glimesh.tv and sign in or create a new account (0:24).

  • Navigate to "Settings" from the upper right drop-down menu (0:37).

  • Connect your Glimesh account to other social media platforms like Twitter, YouTube, Guilded, Instagram, and Discord (0:52).

  • Set up your profile picture (1:12).

  • Add a biography to your profile page, similar to Twitch panels (1:26). (Note: A more detailed guide on creating a professional-looking bio using Markdown and StackEdit will be covered in another video) (1:36).

  • Save or update your settings (1:46).

• Channel Settings and Stream Configuration (1:53-4:49):

  • Go to "Channel settings" on the left menu (1:56).

  • Copy your unique stream key and paste it into your OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) (2:06).

  • Configure your bit rate, audio settings, and FPS (frames per second) (2:14). It's recommended to keep the bit rate between 2500-3500 to accommodate mobile viewers, as Glimesh currently doesn't have a mobile app (2:30).

  • Choose your primary channel language from a wide selection (3:03).

  • Upload a channel poster (1920x1080 resolution) that viewers will see when you are offline (3:11). This can be created using tools like Canva or Photoshop (3:28).

  • Customize your chat background (3:59). You can use a repeating pattern, a solid image, or keep the default Glimesh background (4:18). (Note: A more detailed guide on setting up repeating patterns for your background will be covered in another video) (4:32).

• Stream Information and Moderation (4:50-8:42):

  • Change your stream title to reflect what you're playing or doing (5:00).

  • Choose your stream category (e.g., Gaming) and add relevant tags like "PC gaming," "Fallout 76," or "blind playthrough" to help with discoverability (5:20).

  • Review and set up your chat rules using Markdown (6:53). The video recommends using StackEdit.io to design professional-looking chat rules (7:04).

  • Decide whether links should be automatically clickable in your chat (7:22). It's recommended to keep this off to prevent spam (7:25).

  • Decide whether to block viewers from posting links at all (8:09). These two settings help you control your chat and protect viewers from malicious links (8:23).

  • Hit "Update channel" to save all changes (8:45).

The video concludes by mentioning that Glimesh is in its alpha phase, so users should expect some server instability and potential disconnects (9:04). The creator also shares his streaming schedule on Twitch and other social media handles (9:33).
