Cool. Are you still streaming to Twitch for the actual streaming?

Are you hosting replays? If so, how are you doing that?

Did you have to build custom software to do polls or was that something off the shelf?

Another Q: if you're streaming to Twitch (or YouTube), how do you prevent anyone with the link just watching the stream? Basically how do you control the registered viewing experience?

Sorry for all the Qs: you're being fantastic with responses!

No, we're using Agora's API for streaming. Twitch's API works well however we want to try to keep as much in-house for the exact reason you mentioned above in controlling the viewer experience.

We'll also be implementing their Cloud Recording functionality but that's WIP.

Yes, we used Firebase to build real-time polls and ChartJS to display said data.

Not a problem, if you want to continue the thread more long-form shoot me an email -> bryant(at)dexterlearning.com
