Called Safe Mode, the setting will adjust a streamer’s chat and clear any queued alerts in order to prevent a streamer from being spammed with fake followers and receiving hateful messages in chat. The mode is available today for all Streamlabs users and works with Cloudbot, Streamlabs’ Twitch chat bot. As The Verge notes, that makes Streamlabs Creator Subscription a more appealing option than Twitch’s built-in service, which takes a 50 percent cut from the subscription fees streamers get. Especially since Streamlabs’ new tipping tool can be directly integrated into its popular OBS software suite anyway. The OBS software can be used to stream not just on Twitch, but also on YouTube, Facebook and TikTok.

  • Streamlabs Studio allows users to control their stream from their phone, just like Elgato’s Stream Deck.
  • Streamlabs Studio can also capture audio from a headset plugged into a controller or video from a webcam that’s connected to an Xbox and include those feeds in broadcasts.
  • Starting this summer, creators can look forward to campaigns from Logitech G and a range of partners across gaming, tech, and lifestyle categories.
  • As the point of connection between people and the digital world, our mission is to extend human potential in work and play, in a way that is good for people and the planet.
  • To ensure smooth and professional brand integrations, Streamlabs provides widgets, pre-built scenes, and Cloudbot commands, all designed to make brand integration seamless, professional, and easy to execute, even for those new to partnerships.

Streamlabs offers some of the most useful and popular livestreaming software available, and it works on some of the biggest platforms out there — including Facebook, Twitch and YouTube. Now, it’ll be available on TikTok thanks to a new partnership between the companies. Streamlabs today confirmed that it’s using the just-announced TikTok Login Kit, which mean TikTok users can go live using Streamlabs OBS app for desktop and mobile. This will provide livestreamers access to familiar tools like tipping, donation data and analytics and on-screen alerts.

Streamlabs Studio will let creators add widgets and overlays without the need for a capture card.

The thread continues, explaining how many users and companies confuse OBS and Streamlabs OBS and believe they are the same app because of the name. What’s more, you can use your smartphone or tablet as a webcam and layer that into your stream. Streamlabs Studio can also capture audio from a headset plugged into a controller or video from a webcam that’s connected to an Xbox and include those feeds in broadcasts.

The original Switch was underpowered from the start, and certainly pushed well beyond its limits in the eight long years it was on the market before the Switch 2. The early years weren’t too bad, with Nintendo first party games typically running perfectly fine, but near the end even Tears of the Kingdom started to make the poor Switch buckle.

Additionally, content creators have access to the Streamlabs merch store so they can hawk branded products while they stream. Creators using X will also have access to the company’s line of widgets for increased engagement. One of the more fascinating parts of live-streaming culture is its penchant for raising money for charities; it’s a regular feature across sites and streamers. Twitch, for example, leads some campaigns itself — like its regular Twitch Rivals charity events — and some are spearheaded by individual streamers (like Ben “DrLupo” Lupo) who feel passionate about raising money for the less fortunate among us. Today, the live-streaming toolkit Streamlabs is launching its own charity offering, which is built right into the software. It’s working with several well-known organizations to kick it off, including the Arbor Day Foundation, Feeding America, World Vision, Make-A-Wish, Americares, the American Red Cross, Special Olympics, Direct Relief, and the American Heart Association.

If the streamer also has Cloudbot enabled, Safe Mode will restrict chat to emote only and either follower-only or sub-only mode, preventing hate raiders from filling chat with harassing messages. Finally, Safe Mode will disable chat alerts for followers and clear chat history, preventing raiders and spammers from using followers’ messages against the streamer. The Streamlabs website has details on how to enable Safe Mode within the client. The program is in beta right now, but it’s expected to expand at the beginning of next year. That said, streamers can log into their Streamlabs accounts and schedule their first charity streams now.

Meanwhile, Spotify, which claims to be the biggest podcast publisher in the US, recently announced a wave of layoffs within its podcasting division. The tool allows users to edit, resize, and caption video clips to publish to platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Lightstream is a web-based streaming studio that similarly allows for console streaming without a capture card. The company’s Twitter account shared an image of their website alongside that of Streamlabs Studio saying “Hey, can I copy your homework?”. Top streamers, including Pokimane, have also chimed in and threatened to move to other services. The company has struggled with moderating less savory uses of its payment features, particularly by white supremacist and far-right figures.

Logitech

In that moment, it almost feels good — like in the days of the SNES when the game would chug when too many particles were on screen — and yet in the back of my mind, I knew it would be used as a talking point for the power of the Switch 2. “Streamlabs OBS is built on top of the OBS open-source platform; Streamlabs OBS is also open source, and our code is publicly available.

Upon activation, Safe Mode will disable follower alerts, clear all recent events, and clear any queued follower, host, or raid alerts. Today, we’re proud to introduce Safe Mode, a new feature that helps prevent harassment, hateful messages, and chat spam from appearing on your live stream. Lightstream, a competitor to Streamlabs in the live streaming business, took to Twitter with a meme to point out how similar Streamlabs’ new Streamlabs Studio website looks compared to Lightstream’s own. Elgato, provider of streamer hardware including the Stream Deck app, also chimed in with a tweet saying “know that feel”. Streamlabs Studio allows users to control their stream from their phone, just like Elgato’s Stream Deck.

You might’ve put together that it has something to do with multiplayer games, such as Marvel Rivals or Fortnite, but you may not know exactly what it all means. Now that it is rarer to hear of a major multiplayer game that isn’t cross-platform, it is better to know what it means for you and how it is impacting your gaming. There are a few layers to what cross-platform means in gaming, so I will break it all down so you know what exactly it is, why it is important, and maybe if you would rather turn it off in certain games.

  • The Streamlabs widgets that are available will also work with TikTok and streamers will be able to build a custom merch store and sell gear directly on TikTok using this new integration, as well.
  • He goes into much greater detail about things like the 264 mm squared graphics die and 384-bit memory bus, but the highlights are how much more efficient the memory transfer will be and the increased number of cores.

Open to all Streamlabs users, regardless of follower count or Twitch partner status, Streamlabs Sponsorships is designed to empower creators at every level. This is a strange time to announce a partnership with X, given Musk’s recent behavior and the ongoing exodus of advertisers from the social media platform. So far this exodus has included Apple, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Warner Brothers Discovery and others. It looks like Streamlabs, and by extension Logitech, has decided to buck trends and tie its horse to the X wagon. For regular users, this partnership will allow people to chat with their favorite streamers in real-time straight from X, though this feature looks to be paywalled behind one of those Blue subscriptions, or Premium or whatever it’s called these days. Logitech has been pushing into the space for some time now, with purpose-built hardware for gamers and streamers (like, say, webcams that auto-remove everything behind you for a greenscreen-style overlay effect).
