so by the time you guys watch this video the events that I'm preparing for today the charity livestream that I'm doing with Kyle is probably already gonna be over hopefully it was successful hopefully we raised lots of money for local children's hospitals but this video is actually going to be about setting up for that events and not about me and shaving my beard off because my periods probably gone by now too I'm getting distracted though what this video is actually about is setting up for a live stream and my checklist of what things I need to take care of before we're ready to go so if you've never done a live stream before they can be lots of fun but you're pretty distracted while you're actually live-streaming so getting everything set up beforehand can be very important and you'll definitely think yourself and won't be distracted from actually gaming and interacting with the audience while you take care of everything else let's just run down the list first off we got to establish our game plan that's already mostly taken care of you know clean up set up our streaming area out here set up the PC hardware set up the software and games we will be playing and using I have an extras option right here too because I haven't all got to stream deck and stream deck mini which I might integrate but I need to set up the software and everything so that's kind of a stretch goal but we also want to set up snacks foods and drinks since we're gonna be going for 12 hours and then lastly we want to set up a test stream and maybe actually practice the video games you're gonna play so that I don't suck or at least maybe suck less so item number one is to establish game plan and fortunately we've already been working on that we're gonna be gaming and streaming for 12 hours straight from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Pacific time on December 8th which is in the past so know why I'm telling you guys about that but Kyle and I are both gonna be streaming and we're gonna be streaming to our twitch channels and then also probably to our YouTube channels at the same time so we need to make sure we're set up to double stream to both of those then we also have a third channel which is our awesome hardware twitch channel which we always stream to every Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m. Pacific we're gonna use that as sort of a master stream where you can look at both of the gameplay streams from either of us but then also have centralized chat and audio editor Joe is also gonna be here so he's gonna be on a third system than my main streaming and capture system over there and then finally of course you don't need to do a charity livestream when you're live streaming but it's nice to raise money for charity if you can so we have two systems that we are going to begin way as well right here and then kayo will be giving away a third system so we can mark that one off the list and move on to clean up unfortunately we did a pretty good job cleaning this area up just last week and it's still mostly clean I know it's already starting to look a little bit cluttered but this is one of the gaming systems so we're gonna be using that over here I'm gonna do some more cleaning and titling just to make sure everything is shipshape out here for a lengthy livestream so everyone is comfortable but then the other thing I want to make sure I have cleaned up is an area out here for guests because we're probably gonna have a few people stopping by who aren't necessarily part of the livestream I want to make sure they can sit down and be comfortable out there and then of course cleaning the bathroom anytime you have guests over you should make sure you have a clean and usable bathroom so I'll spray you guys actually all of that stuff and let's just assume I've cleaned up and we can move on so here's the stream area set up we have three stations going on I'm gonna be there and they back create with our Panther Cal is gonna be right here with the fastest gaming PC ever and he's got a chair right over here both of us have 1080 main monitors that we're gonna be gaming on as well as secondary monitors so we can set up our stream stuff the station for the stream and capture system has been moved to right over here so Jo's gonna be right there we'll probably get him a better seat too and then we still got enough room to move around I've got some space for the dog goes over here Hiro is demonstrating and that means we can mark off set a stream area so next is to actually set up the hardware itself so I still haven't plugged all this stuff in and I'm gonna explain to you how everything is actually set up actually let me get everything plugged in and set up and then I will explain to you how it is plugged in and set up but one other key thing is that we've got three pretty substantial systems out here one two and three any of these could easily pull five six hundred watts plus depending on what's being done with it and I have only a single circuit out here so I'm definitely gonna need to run another extension cord from back in the house somewhere at least probably just for cows computer ok guys some time has gone by I've made a few changes I decided to move this can pewter over to that side just to make things a little bit more spaced out over here but PC hardware is now set up for the most part I think I hope I'm having one main issue and that is that my razor ripsaw still is not working properly with this system over here it just ends up being extremely choppy and everything so I'm using my old-school elgato hd60 which is okay for 1080 60 Captur but does introduce a bit of delay however since I also have an elgato 4k Pro in there basically OBS was allowing me to choose one or the other but not both and I had finally given up on it and then I like left it for a second and I came back and then it was both working so that's very strange but this right here is this system and this 1080 monitor and then this over here is arctic panther over there and that other 1080 monitor so let me go over the streaming hardware setup basically there these are all intended to be self-contained streaming setups so arctic panther right here for monitors we have two 1080 that's the main gaming one and that one is passed through the capture system back there and then back over here so I can actually game on it secondary monitor here is for monitoring chat and having anything else that's necessary up there while the stream is live and then since I will be streaming from this system I have a headset here so that will be my mic and my headphones Kyle's gonna have a similar setup here with this system there's a 1080 monitor right here that he will game on is the secondary monitor if it's 4k forchette and everything else and then this 1080 monitor again is passing through this system over here so it can be captured for the main awesome hardware stream okay I will also have a headset although he's gonna bring his own and then he's got a mic the setup that he's also gonna be bringing the audio for this system is actually gonna go out the HDMI to be captured by this system so it needs to pass through to this so for that he's gonna plug the headphones directly into the monitor so he can hear that and it can also be captured by the HDMI pass-through finally of course the main streaming setup this one Joe is just gonna have some headphones to where the audio is actually going to be from the sound board and for that we have a mic right there and then a second mic over there so whatever Joe's saying or whatever we're saying should all be able to be picked up and heard by anyone listening to this stream and then this stream can show either of the games that we are playing and then when Joe has some free time I'm not assuming he's going to be moderating the entire time I want him to play games with us too he can game on this monitor capture that and actually stream three games at a time on this and we still have some setup and configuration to do with that to make sure we can also so show chat on-screen and everything but I believe I am now safely far enough along that I can check off the setup PC hardware software and games is next and when it comes to the games this is my solution I actually have a couple of these is your two terabyte crucial mx5 hundreds and these are gonna be my external game drives actually what previously was my external game drive I had a one terabyte SSD that's actually installed in the system down there in the bottom so I'm gonna be copying as many of those games off of there and onto here so I can set up this is an external and then I have a second one as well as another external USB 3 adapter that I can do the same thing with so I need to do a lot of game copying and then of course once the games are copied I need to actually load up the game client whether it's the battle.net client or steam and load up each actual game on each system and that way you won't have to wait through first launch delays tomorrow obviously this is a transition because Joe's here now and so is Kyle but let's where are we as far as this Chiklis thing I got as far as setup software in games yesterday which I was able to do and then I jumped forward to test stream and practice and then I stayed up a little bit too late trying to get better at fortnight's so we can at least mark that one off now as far as the stream deck didn't actually get to that unfortunately so we'll have to save that for a later video maybe an advanced livestream video but snacks food and drinks I took advantage of the fact that Kyle is coming and Joe is coming actually mainly just Joe Kyle did bring God did bring luck beer in McDonald's which best kind of snacks Joe brought good snacks too though potato chips potato chips that's Jenna let's check our snacks Kyle brought McDonald's and it's totally not vegan at all and then from Joe we got some potato chips here yeah chips we got some of these chips actually these these are also tortilla chips from the family up last week that are still good and then we some salsa and we have some salsa con queso we got some cheese dipping sauce beautiful snacks are taking care I mentioned beer - and we got beer got some soda that is checked off and then one final bit here now that cows here and he's got his headset on we're trying to pipe that through this monitor but the audio out wasn't working there so we got one final change to our audio configuration Kyle still gonna be playing on this monitor here he's going to be using the webcam here to stream his face and then for his headphones I don't know you can even see this there's a splitter an audio splitter here so this is plugged into his headphones gone over to him and then this other side is going over into our sound board which is also where the external mics are coming in so the sound bar can be used here for audio on this computer this computer is restarting so Joe can install the software for the NIF oh and also get a monster going guys Joe do that sponsor pitch for monster right but guys that's all for this video I hope you have learned a little bit more about how the setup process goes for a crazy multi-part live stream like this what are you doing you're supposed to be framed in the shop this is supposed to be very well framed shut but thank you guys so
