@Fedi I was your livestream on technical implementation of Fedimint earlier today. Dr Berry would be an amazing Guardian to run a Fedi for his community. Aldo to help with livestreaming on Nostr on zap.stream #1Stone2Birds

zap stream is just a way to broadcast your live stream from other streaming software to nostr as far s I can understand
This is a half assed guide I made to stream from mobile, but I also believe that @TheGrinder has guides for desktop. I also would be willing to hop on a call if you need it, Ken. Lemme know.

How did I live stream grilling a steak from my phone yesterday? I'm glad you asked! First, you need a live video streaming app on your phone. I used Larix Broadcaster. It's available for both Android and iOS. https://softvelum.com/larix/ Next, I visited https://zap.stream/settings/stream from Kiwi browser and signed in with my Nostr Connect browser extension. Once signed in, I configured my stream settings and paid the Lightning invoice to allow me to stream. I paid 1K sats and chose to use the best quality. Then, I opened Larix and went into settings to add a new connection. I added a zap.stream connection with the stream URL and stream key that I obtained above. Finally, I edited my stream name from my https://zap.stream/dashboard and tapped the camera shutter button on Larix. Boom. Zap.stream live streaming from mobile. The only real issue is being unable to view comments on mobile. You need a second device to do that. Though, I wonder if I could have split screened it? Probably. It would have been very small though. Good luck!

We were playing with this stuff before most of the natives were born or when they were little kids.
Yeah, Dr. Berry. It took us a while to figure it out too. What you need is a service like restream.io On Zapstream, you get your RTMP credentials. You enter that into restream and then go live! The catch is, streaming to RTMP is not included in restream’s free plan. You’ll have to buy the subscription.

I use Zap.stream. the hardest part was getting initial sats transferred to start streaming. @thelotsproject helped me make it all work and I used a key generator so my actual private key isn't at zap.stream. it works great so far.
