Question 1

Streaming Setup Guide

Accepted Answer

The Player Desktop App is a free application that allows you to stream and record your game play with thousands of professionally, customizable overlays, an in-game control system for switching scenes and accessing your chat and streaming events without disrupting your gaming and a video editor built-in.

Here's a guide on how to get started with the app:

Connecting your streaming Account

You should be asked to connect your streaming account on sign up but if you haven't connected in the wizard you can still do so by either clicking the + icon in the top left of your profile, through your settings or when you try to go live.

Your Studio

The 'Studio' tab is where you will find all the controls for your streaming and recording needs. From here you're able to create sets using one of our thousands of professionally designed overlay templates (which are also fully customizable) and you can manage your stream settings before going live. A huge bonus for Player users is easy access to your studio features in-game through the Player HUD.

Question 6

How do I get Player to detect my game?

Accepted Answer

| ${color}[#000000](To use this feature, In-game HUD must be enabled. You can do this by going to Studio Settings, and then under the In-Game HUD tab > General, make sure the option Enable in-game HUD is checked.)

The Player Desktop app checks for three things in order to detect your game:

Your In-game HUD must be enabled.
Your Set's Platform must be set to either PC or Console.
Your Scene must have a Game Source widget.

For PC games, the Set's Platform is set to PC by default. For more information on getting the Player app to detect your PC game, click here.

For console games, you will need a capture card and adjust your Set's Platform to detect that capture card. For more information on getting Player to detect your console game, click here.

Selecting the Platform

To check which Platform is selected, go to your Set and then click the (Gear) icon next to the Set’s name.

In the Edit Set window, under Platform choose either PC or Console. For consoles, you will also need to select your connected capture device's name from the list.
