How to create an event for your stream

[HogHammer]

To create an event (announcement) of your live stream follow the steps below:

Within the "ClanBase" go to "Streamer Resources and Events".  When you arrive you will see the banners at the top and just below the following - "Overview", "Discussion-Q&A-Helpful Tips" and "Events" tabs.  

Click on "Events".  Once there, at the top right-hand corner, you will see a "Create" pull-down menu.  Pick "Event"

From there, you will see (below) the select calendar pull-down.  Pick "Selected Streams"  then hit continue.

This will take you to "Add Calendar Event".  The setup is pretty straightforward.  In the "Event Start" pick the date and time your stream begins.  You will also notice "Event Time Zone".  Pick YOUR time zone.  Once your time zone is entered, it will automatically adjust to any timezone forum members are located.  Pick your "Event End".  Pick the overall length of your stream (this does not have to be exact, give yourself a little extra if needed).

From here type in your stream title and any description.  You can use Twitch links in the description.

You can also select "Online Event" if you wish and enter the URL for the Twitch or YouTube stream.

When done, hit "Submit an event".  You just completed your event which will be displayed in the events section.

You are also more than welcome just to post in general or both if you wish.

I had logged-in to my Twitch account earlier in the day and confirmed that I was "following" you and that I would be notified by my phone-app when you went live.
Later in my evening, I checked my phone and found the notification.
Then I viewed your stream.

From my perspective, there were frequent screen-freezes.  (To be fair, this happens when I watch @Ensign Cthulhu sometimes, too.)
I tried to reduce the video quality (which usually helps when I watch @Ensign Cthulhu), but Twitch was only providing me with two options (Option 1 = "Auto", and Option 2 = the source resolution you were transmitting it, which apparently was 720p).

You were streaming with at least one other person, and probably two other people, from what I could hear.
~ There were times when your voice was very low in volume.  I was guessing this was due to one or both of the following phenomena.
a).  Distance from your mouth to the microphone had increased due to changes in body posture
b).  You were speaking more softly, because you were either thoughtful or fatigued.
~ When two or more people in your division spoke simultaneously, there was audio distortion (which is normal when audio signals compete for internet bandwidth).
.... Reminded me of Citizens Band (CB) Radio conversations, and when people accidentally "talked-over" each other.
~ I could hear your team-mates well enough.  One of them was especially loud & clear when speaking alone (without competition).  ("Good job", for them!  🙂 )

To resolve the possibly varying distance from your mouth to your microphone, during the stream-chat I suggested trying a headset with a boom microphone.
If that doesn't solve the issue, then turning-up your microphone signal input is the next step.
Also consider training yourself to speak like an enthusiastic news broadcaster.  Their voices are strong (but not yelling) and they speak clearly enough for everyone to discern their words.  (Granted, they usually go to specialized broadcast schools for that purpose.)

For my first time viewing your stream, I figure there's plenty of solid effort to build with.  🙂 
The international internet bandwidth may be strained and that could be causing the frequent screen-freezes. 
It is also possible for internet demands within my home to be what's causing the screen-freezes. 
If my wife is watching ROKU television while her son is gaming on his console, the home's router may be hitting its limits.  Which wouldn't be your fault.  🙂

im never sitting in the same possition when im playing . i tend to slouch back all the time so im either close  or im slowly sliding in my chair increasing my distance from my elgato 3 mic 

i dont speak softly   i have a deep scottish accent but on mic it sounds deeper 

yes i was playing in divi with someone you also played clan battles with us @Wolfswetpaws    ... scottish hammer

music running in the background   and you probbly heard the voiceover from the comander which  i will reduce . i dont like seattle or wooster  but atleast i can say i actually did it for the first time grinding from T1 - T10  in randoms only 

usually its a mix grind of mainly co-op  and the odd randoms 

crap games last night but i had good company   and a few colorful metaphors said 

thanks wolfie

What @Wolfswetpaws suggested, and observations from your stream are pretty spot on.  Your voice volume was low (lower than your guest's - his level was fine).  Probably need to increase the gain on your mic.  There was some occasional buffering taking place in your stream.  I, too, changed from auto to course to see if that would make any difference - it did not. I still got the occasional buffering.  

The event worked for me, so that's good. My only suggestion is to add your Twitch link to your message, too.  Sometimes, folks just can't locate a join button.  Adding it to your message is just insurance. They know exactly where to go.

The music running in the background was beneficial.  (When it stopped, I knew the screen-freeze was happening.)
I don't mind Commander's Voices.  I consider them to be a pleasant part of the game.
But, it is your Twitch stream.  So, adjust as you wish.

like i said the setup is very basic  enough to get it running  im always doing tweeks to it  i only do it  for the fun of it and not for monetary gain  .

Sure.  Of course it would.
But, recorded live from a remote source may be a different experience, because the glitches aren't from the source and are due to strange phenomena on the internet which interrupt the flow of data packets.

In the past I've joked with @Ensign Cthulhu about the difficulties I have when watching his Twitch stream on my phone while I am in my car and away from my home's WiFi network.
I joke that the import/export process of passing through Custom's at the Canadian border is slowing down the pixels of his video transmissions.  🙂 
Sometimes I have to use the "audio only" quality setting, in order to enjoy his Twitch stream while I'm on the road and depending upon cell-phone networks.
Internet flow problems are not something the Twitch streamer is responsible for.  They're like good/bad weather.

But, other stuff, like your varying distance from your own microphone, is something that a Twitch streamer is responsible for.  🙂

like i mentioned before wolfie i tend to slouch in my chair  so im slowly sliding away from my mic . ill have to keep an eye on that . since that stream ive slightly lowered the back ground voice over  reduced the music a bit and increased  my mic volume .  my voice always sounds deeper than it actually is  , either through the mic or video conference  and on the phone
