Hey there 👋

If you have any questions about how to use Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, it is totally fine to ask! I'm an actual human being here, and I'll try to help answer any questions if I can!

I didn't set up this account to be one-directional or mass audience, it's meant to be about helping people directly. 🙂

@FediTips Can you livestream on the fediverse at all?

Yes, there's a Fediverse livestreaming platform called @owncast which is a bit like Twitch.

People on Mastodon etc can follow OwnCast accounts, and when the stream goes live they will see a post in their timelines about it. Also, they can optionally use their Mastodon etc accounts to verify their identity in OwnCast chat. More info at owncast.online

The Fediverse video publishing platform PeerTube also has livestreaming support, but it is not as sophisticated as OwnCast.

OwncastOwncastOwncast is your self-hosted live streaming solution.
