How can I broadcast?

I just wanted to know how to do it & where to start because I totally want to extend my gameplays exposed to the public with a use of broadcast...

Please & Thank You!

With a limited account it's not possible though.

Sorry.

So I can't broadcast then?

Jeez!!! I wish limited users can also broadcast whenever or whatever we want...

Try going to Steam > Settings > Broadcasting and see if you get the same as I get on my limited alt. account.

If you do, either become unlimited or consider other streaming options.

I did have the same thing!

It simply said: "Your account does not have sufficient privileges to broadcast live streams".

I hate the fact that moderators doesn't want limited users to get access to the broadcasting line. I just want to test my broadcasting gameplays for STEAM so I can become popular.

This is so ridiculous! Why can't these moderators be impartial so I can have the time to show it to the public about Sonic GDK on broadcast?

It's not the moderators who made up their minds to make it impossible for limited users.

While unfortunate for you, as I'm getting the feeling you wouldn't abuse it. There's unfortunately people who would make alt. accounts to stream all kinds of stuff they shouldn't if this was possible.

Well you're right!

I just thought of showing them off my UDK Games of Sonic GDK & all sorts of stuff while broadcasting which I would like to attend to, you know... I would not merely abuse anything on STEAM due that I am new here & that I am too innocent to do so.

I may resume to find just a bit more thing in order to get along with Streamings or somethings.

You could try OBS (mentioned above) or for example Xsplit or Livestream Procaster. They're not too difficult to set up. :)

Nvidia Shadowplay (for GTX 600 series or higher) also allows this.

Is the Xsplit or Livestream Procaster tactful to STEAM?

From the few I've streamed with Livestream, it's worked fine with Steam.

I forgot to mention that unlike Livestream Procaster, Xsplit (at least the last time I used it) will only do windowed (screen regions) if it's the free license.

Does it provide a download? :D

(Sorry if I am being too skeptical)
