FTC Disclosures for streamers

What streamers need to know about FTC Disclosures

The FTC a couple years ago released a guide on .com disclosures which you can find on the following URL:
https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/bus41-dot-com-disclosures-information-about-online-advertising.pdf

Here is my opinion on what streamers need to know about FTC disclosures. Also a important disclaimer note; DaOpa is not a lawyer.


Instances that generally require disclosure:

• Sponsors / Giveaways
  
  • If a company is giving you a product to giveaway on your stream
  • If a gaming company / developer gives you a free copy of a game to review / play on stream
• Affiliate Programs
  
  • If you have links and or images going to affiliate related programs
• Twitter / Facebook / Social Media Promotions
  
  • If a company is paying you to play their game or show their products
  • If a entity is paying you to tweet a message
• Loyalty Systems / Programs
  • Similar with sponsors and giveaways
•  Employee of Company
  
  • Talking about your companies products and services

Here is my Twitch Panel Disclosure notice that I currently use because I have affiliate links on other panels.

Twitch also discloses sponsored streams and advertisements by using a special badges and coloring.

 Check out their blog with more details of "Transparency in Sponsored Content and Promotion".

Also remember as per Terms of using Twitch: "You, and not Twitch, are solely responsible for any endorsements or testimonials you make regarding any product or service through the Twitch Service."

Bandwidth Testing tool

Twitch Bandwidth Testing Tool

How to test your bandwidth to Twitch.tv's ingest servers.

Step 1.

Download the following app
Twitch Bandwidth Test
Created by OBS Developer R1CH

Step 2.

Unzip the zip file, go to the folder and click on the TwitchTest.exe application file.

Step 3.

Enter your steam key in the provided space.

Step 4.

Click off the nearest Region, remove all others.

Step 5.

Press the start button.

After the test is completed it will show you, the ingest server name, the max bandwidth to the server, the rtt and quality.

Start up OBS or whatever streaming software you use and select the ingest server that has the best quality, highest bandwidth and lowest rtt.

OBS Pop up message:

Could not access the specified channel or stream key. This could be because the key/channel is invalid, or because the server still thinks you are logged in.

RTMPSockBuf_Fill, remote host closed connection

Steps to take to fix this issue:

• Reset your stream key
  
  • Go to Dashboard on Twitch and click on option "Stream Key"
  • Click button "show key", then "I understand"
  • Copy the new stream key
  • Go to OBS, Settings, Broadcast Settings
  • Paste the key into Play Path/Stream Key section, then apply and ok
  • Try go to live and see if that worked
• Disable all firewall programs
  
  • Sometimes firewall programs will block obs from working correctly
  • Disable any firewall / malware program and see if it works
• Make another Twitch account, use other key
  
  • Create another twitch account and use that key in obs
  • This will determine if your main account is locked up
  • Locking up is rare to happen but it has occurred a couple times for my account.
• Verify your network connection / Internet is working correctly.
  
  • Check your upload speed
  • Run the Twitch Bandwidth Testing tool
