Better Dlive Survey (A Newbie's Perspective)

in #betterdlive7 years ago (edited)

First and foremost, I would like to thank @Dlive for giving me the opportunity to stream my games. Being the first decentralized streaming video platform on steemit, I can without a doubt, say that my experience on it was a pleasant one. In light of Dlive's campaign to improve the overall quality of the platform, here are some of my opinions and thoughts on the matter itself.

How do you decide a stream is good or not?

Ahhh... The first deciding factor whether or not your stream will be good is evidently the quality of the video and audio. If the quality of the video is poor, audience will have a hard time seeing your streams and this will without a doubt be off-putting to some. Besides that, personality is also important to capture the heart of the audience. The goal is not to be good at gaming (Although it may be a bonus for some) but to be able to engage with viewers through strong humors and also in-game analysis. Videos that are running smoothly for viewers as well is a definite plus too.

What do you think about DLive and how can DLive improve?

I think DLive is a very good platform for streamers to stream their current game but it could get quite hard to set-up for streaming.


In case you're wondering where to start, I'll share the link below on the guide to set-up.

Special Thanks to @thedegensloth


I think there are several improvements that can be made in order to improve the overall quality of the platform Dlive.

Improve the quality of the stream

I think that the video quality could be improved in terms of resolution and clarity. I've seen videos on the Dlive platform and it could be proved to be quite blur at times. By rectifying this, I strongly believe it will reel in more viewers and possibly encourage them to stream on the platform.

User Friendliness

If the streaming platform could be further improved in terms of interface and guidance on how to use it, no doubt users will be happy about it.

Sharing on Social Media

Open up an option to share your videos on e.g Facebook almost immediately will be a great addition to help promote the Dlive platform and also enable streamers to expand their target audience.

Go for multi-platforms

As I'm to understand Dlive currently supports computer only. If it were to be integrable with other gaming platforms like PS4, Xbox or even Nintendo 3DS, more streamers would be able to use Dlive to stream.


Why did I started streaming on Dlive?

I was looking everywhere for a platform to stream and I've found Dlive thanks to the recommendation of my friend @howtostartablog. Being a newbie to the platform and streamed two videos on Monster Hunter World, Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend other streamers to use Dlive as a streaming platform.

What are you streaming and how are you planning to improve your stream in the future.

Right now my focus is to stream Monster Hunter World and also to look back at retro games. I'm planning to invest on a microphone and headphone set soon to improve my session with streaming. Hopefully by streaming more on Dlive platform, I would be able to reach my target! Until then I'll continue to stream on Dlive platform and I'm looking forward towards the improvement of the overall quality for Dlive!

Cheers! :)
