   Immersiveness and Realism is not always based on the Platform

   In most virtual worlds, whether on a 2D screen or 3D headset, the platform provides the means, but most of the userbase provides the "content". I am no stranger to 3D virtual. I was on the very first one called Cybertown back in 1999, and have accounts in Second Life and Sansar. To be honest, I had tried IMVU over a decade ago, but it seemed marketed to teens and the younger generation. But it is now 2022, and IMVU has made great strides in graphic quality, creator tools (IMVU Studio), and even V-COIN, the first cryptocurrency approved by the SEC for use in virtual worlds and convertable to real life currency. The bottom line though is the quality of the content, but especially that of the IMVU "avatars", which I have to say "still" greatly surpass most of the avatar looks available in standard 3D VR headset platforms. The content available for objects, rooms, and outfits, poses, movements, audio and even shadow/shade rendering is leaps and bounds better than it was many years ago, and much more is available in the IMVU Store for purchase. IMVU is now a subsidiary company of "Together Labs", has procured 35 million dollars in venture funding, and was ranked a few years ago as the Best Virtual World Game for Realistic Graphics for 2020 by Lifewire, a prominent tech site. I choose to use IMVU as a platform because it is a very good quality one, both technically and socially, and have developed ways of marketing and streaming music and video to and from online broadcasting sites in conjunction with this platform.

• Interviews at the Java J-Fall 2023 Conference

  I had a lot of interesting talks with Java experts since I started producing the Foojay Podcast. But when I asked the organizers of the J-Fall conference, if I could do some kind of live broadcast at their event, I hadn't imagined it would be such an amazing experience! During the day I had 29 interviews, which I all broadcasted live on multiple websites (YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter) with the amazing restream... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Seperating audio tracks while using restream

  I'm relatively new with using restream.io It's a great service for me if I wanna stream to twitch and youtube at the same time without using extra network bandwith or computer resources. Just using OBS. Source: 7 months ago

• Streaming is an incredible source of Watch Hours

  I attempted to use restream.io to simulcast to several platforms at once (youtube, twitch, occasionally facebook), but ran in to some issues. Namely, if OBS or your computer crashes while using restream, restream will automatically "end stream" on youtube, so even if you come back your VOD will be split. As noted in my post, the VOD brings in almost as many hours of watch time as the actual stream, so having a... Source: about 1 year ago

• Trying to stream, OBS says Connecting... , Creator Dashboard Stream shows Offline

  So, I emailed them. They pretty much emailed me back telling me to try what I've already tried. Then they told me to try a Restreamer service. I told them that's the only way I can connect to Kick is through restream.io. Their last reply was something to the effect of, "Glad we could help you fix your connection issues". Essentially telling me to keep using restream.io. I mean, I guess that's okay. And now that... Source: about 1 year ago
