Hi there,
After a month of development and an alpha test, we are happy to bring DLive to the public and show you how to use it ( https://www.dlive.io ). We recommend Chrome as the test field.
What is DLive?
DLive is the first decentralized video live streaming platform on Steem! It can be seen as the Twitch on the Steem blockchain including, but not limited to, gaming contents. You can learn more through this link: https://steemit.com/dlive/@dlive/dlive-the-first-decentralized-live-streaming-platform-on-steem
Let’s start it!
Login:
We are using SteemConnect as our login tool because it makes STEEM login and key management much easier, and it’s officially run by @busy.org . Here’s the link: https://steemit.com/steemconnect/@busy.org/introducing-steemconnect-by-busy-identity-authentication-authorization-for-steem-blockchain-s-apps
Broadcast
We recommend broadcasters use OBS as our encoder.
Next, fill in the description information and upload a thumbnail image.
Fill in the post information and press post button.
OBS setting, fill in the setting information based on the information in the DLive Live Streaming page.
Start broadcasting: press the “Start Streaming” button on the OBS, then press “Start“ button on the DLive page.
You can view your live streaming in your profile or new posts.
After the broadcast, you can press end to end the video section, and you can download it later.

We are also supporting video upload on our websites. To upload, do the following:
Click Upload
Select a video less than 1 GB, fill out the post information, then press “Submit.”
Post the video on Steemit.
