Getting Started With TrovoCast

This video provides a guide on how to get started with TrovoCast to stream mobile gameplay from a phone or tablet to a computer (0:16).
Here's a summary of the steps and key information:
What is Trovo? Trovo is a streaming platform similar to Facebook Gaming, Twitch, YouTube Live, and Glimesh (0:00-0:10).
TrovoCast Purpose: It allows users to bring mobile gameplay from their device to their stream by connecting via Wi-Fi or USB to their computer and then to OBS (0:13-0:33).
Getting Started:
Download the Trovo App: Download the Trovo app from your app store (iOS or Android) as it integrates all necessary features (0:46-1:10).
Download TrovoCast Software: From the Trovo live FAQs support page, download the TrovoCast software to your computer (1:14-1:24).
Extract and Run: Extract the downloaded 7-zip file and create a shortcut of the executable file to your desktop. Ensure it's set to "run as administrator" for proper functionality (1:31-2:21).
Connecting Your Device:
USB Connection: This method is recommended for its reliability and low latency (2:45-3:04, 3:34-3:48). The video demonstrates how it instantly recognizes and mirrors the phone's display with almost zero latency (3:13-3:32).
Wi-Fi Connection: This is also an option, requiring both your computer and phone to be on the same Wi-Fi network (4:41-4:55). Within the Trovo app, you can select "Cast to PC" to initiate the connection (5:02-5:47).
Integrating with OBS: To add TrovoCast to OBS, add a "Window Capture" source in your scene and select "Trovocast" from the available windows (6:06-6:41).
Current State: TrovoCast is currently in beta, and changes are ongoing, especially concerning audio input on Android devices where both microphone and system audio are captured (7:09-7:33).

Going Live On Twitch Setup Within Guilded

This video explains two methods to set up "now live" notifications from Twitch within a Guilded server:
1. Using the Built-in Guilded Bot (1:00-3:18):
Connect Twitch: First, ensure your Twitch account is connected to Guilded. This can be done by going to Settings (gear icon in the bottom left), then Connections, and linking your Twitch account (1:12-1:28).
Add Twitch Bot: Go to your server settings (upper left drop-down), then Bots, and add the pre-existing Twitch bot (1:32-1:46).
Configure Bot: Edit the bot settings to specify which role (e.g., "streamers") should trigger the live notification and customize the message using special variables like $triggering_user_streaming$ and $triggering_stream_link$ (2:00-2:56).
New Flows: Guilded also offers new features where the bot can automatically assign and remove roles when a stream goes live or ends (2:58-3:18).
User Experience: When someone goes live, a link will appear in the designated channel, and the streamer will show up in the member list as "streaming." Users can even watch the Twitch stream directly within Guilded (3:28-4:18).
2. Using Webhooks with IFTTT or Zapier (4:21-10:44):
External Services: This method requires using third-party services like [IFTTT]https://ifttt.com/ or [Zapier]https://zapier.com/. Both offer free plans with limitations (4:26-5:02). IFTTT is presented as more user-friendly for common users (5:13-5:28).
IFTTT Setup:
Create an account on IFTTT.com (5:30-5:39).
Create a new "Applet" (5:47-6:08).
"If This": Select Twitch as the service and choose "A stream goes live for a channel you follow." You'll need to connect your Twitch account to IFTTT and select the specific Twitch channel to monitor (6:12-7:08).
"Then That": Select "Webhooks" and choose "Make a web request" (7:12-7:23).
Guilded Webhook Setup:
In Guilded, go to your server settings, then Webhooks (7:28-7:40).
Create a new webhook, choose the channel where notifications should appear, and copy the webhook URL (7:40-8:47). Caution: Do not share this URL as it allows others to post to your server (8:32-8:43).
Connect IFTTT and Guilded Webhook:
Paste the copied Guilded webhook URL into the "URL" field in IFTTT (8:55-9:03).
Set the "Method" to POST (9:06-9:09).
Set the "Content-Type" to application/json (9:09-9:14).
Copy the specific JSON body provided on the Guilded support page (9:14-9:42). The link to this page is in the video description.
Paste the JSON body into the "Body" section in IFTTT (9:46-9:53).
Click "Create action" and "Finish" (9:54-10:17).
Result: This setup will also create a "now live" post in your Guilded server, similar to the bot method, with a link and preview of the stream (10:17-10:44).
The video description also provides links to IFTTT, Zapier, and the Guilded support page for IFTTT Incoming Webhooks. https://ifttt.com/https://zapier.com/https://support.guilded.gg/hc/en-us/articles/360056299074-IFTTT-Incoming-Webhooks-for-Twitter-YouTube-and-Twitch-

Setting Up A Guilded Support Bot

The video provides a walkthrough on setting up a support bot in Guilded to help members create tickets and notify admin/mod staff about issues (0:00).
Here's a summary of the process:
Create a Restricted Group (1:03): It's recommended to create a private group, such as "Office," accessible only to you and your mod team for managing support tickets (1:03-1:54).
Set up a Tickets Channel (1:58): Within the restricted group, create a private chat channel named "Tickets" where support requests will be sent (1:58-2:25).
Create a Support Bot (2:25):
Go to your server settings and create a new bot, naming it "Support" (2:25-2:49).
First Flow - Sending to Tickets Channel (2:49):
Set the trigger to "Member sent message to channel" (2:57).
Configure it to respond when a message contains "!" (exclamation point) "help me" (3:30-3:44).
Add an action to "Send a custom message" to the "Office Tickets" channel (4:00-4:18).
The message content should include the triggering user's name, a summary of their issue, and a link to the original message (4:28-5:34).
Second Flow - Responding to User (5:49):
Create another flow with the same trigger ("Member sent message to channel" containing "! help me") (5:53-6:05).
Add an action to "Send a custom message" back to the originating channel (6:12-6:19).
The message should thank the user, mention the mod team, and state that someone will be by shortly (6:28-7:25).
Save Changes (7:27): Crucially, remember to click "Save Changes" on the bottom left to apply all bot configurations (7:27-7:35).
Troubleshooting (8:06): The video also demonstrates troubleshooting a common issue where the bot doesn't respond to the user due to incorrect message containment settings (8:06-12:16). The key is to ensure the bot looks for messages that contain "!help me" rather than exact content (11:42-12:05).
The creator also mentions more videos on getting started with bots and Guilded server permissions (13:03-13:12).

Quickly Get Started With Guilded Bots

This video provides a quick primer on setting up and managing bots within a Guilded server.
The video covers the following:
What are bots? Bots automate processes on your server, making tasks easier, such as giving XP or setting up roles for new subscribers (0:14). Guilded bots can combine multiple functions into one bot, unlike Discord, where separate bots are often needed for different tasks (2:02).
Finding existing bots: Guilded servers automatically start with two built-in bots:
Howdy Bot: Greets new members (1:34).
XP Bot: Awards XP to members for their involvement in the community (1:42).
Creating a new bot: The process involves going to server settings, clicking "Create a bot," naming it, and then setting up "flows" using an "if this, then that" logic (2:31).
Setting up bot triggers and actions: The video demonstrates how to set a trigger (e.g., when a forum topic is created (4:27)) and then an action (e.g., sending a custom message to a channel (5:07)).
Consolidating bots: The speaker shows how to turn off the default bots and add their functions (like notifying about a Twitch stream going online (8:25)) to a single custom bot, avoiding the need for multiple bots (7:42). The bot can automatically announce when a streamer goes live on Twitch, including a link to their stream (10:11).

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).
