![]() I looked for a way to move the chat, but there was none. This meant that I couldn’t see the names of the chatters or the first part of what they were saying. However when I switched to a higher quality lens that was also larger, it covered the beginning of the chat. When I was using a smaller clip on lens, there wasn’t an issue. Right next to where the smart phones selfie camera is. You see, in the Streamlabs mobile layout, the chat that you read from ( not the chat overlay that the viewer might see. This is where I ran into my first big problem with Streamlabs. I replace it with a more expensive, and somewhat larger lens hoping to improve the range of the lens as well as the quality. ![]() This worked great until my lens broke and I had to replace it. I used a small tripod for my smart phone, along with a small wide angle clip on lens for the rear facing camera ( the selfie camera ) to give my audience a wider view of what was going on around me. The Streamlabs mobile app offered overlays, and alerts which allowed me to personalize the video in much the same way I could with the desktop app. Just the video, and you could read the chat. Twitch’s mobile app is very bare bones for broadcasters. I had little issues here and there but all were resolved easily. So I chose Streamlabs for that reason.įor the first year that I used Streamlabs I was happy with it. Also, they had an IOS mobile app that allowed me to add overlays. For some reason, this attracted me to Streamlabs because as a techie kind of guy, I assumed that the more technical something was, the more I could do with it. When I started looking into which service to use when I first started live streaming, the consensus was that they were, more or less, evenly matched in usability, but that Streamlabs required a little more technical understanding of the service. The way you set up your overlays and alerts are a little different but the viewer would never know that watching your stream. They offer similar services except they don’t offer a mobile app ( they do have an android app in beta ), nor ( at the moment ) a merchandise ( coming soon ) store and instead of an integrated OBS, you use the standard OBS software with a StreamElements plugin. StreamElements is the main competitor of Streamlabs.
