A step by step guide for podcasters that want to have fun with sats on their video live podcast. Viewers drop sats and interact with funny animations, live.
I've seen lately many podcasters live on YouTube or other video platforms, but very few are really adopting Bitcoin, in form of tips, contributions, fun animations activated with donations with sats over Lightning Network.
@Car this guide is also for you. I've seen that not always is working nice on zap.stream so you still relay on the Youtube stream. But on Youtube viewers can't zap you. If you use this solution with LNbits streamer copilot you also can interact with viewers with funny animations. People watching the YT stream will also want to use Bitcoin LN zaps.
So I wonder, maybe they do not know how to setup a simple solution for this. And here I would like to present them a simple guide, step by step, with zero cost, but with huge potential:
- viewers could see that you accept Bitcoin over LN, create attention to Bitcoin
- viewers would have a fun response / reward for their humble donations and contributions
- if you want you could even organize a live crowdfunding campaign
- make more interactive your live show
- and not the last one: MAKE BITCOIN ADOPTION TO BE FUN
So here is a quick guide how to install, configure and run a LNbits instance ON ANY PC WITH LINUX and setup the Streamer Copilot LNbits extension. You can use it with any streaming platform you normally use (ReStream or OBS Studio).
TLDR:
- install LNbits on your own machine or run a hosted instance
- connect LNbits to any supported funding source (are many)
- add the streamer copilot extension, configure the LNURL pay extemsion for zaps
- configure OBS Studio with the LNbits streamer copilot
- start streaming from OBS Studio to any streaming platform
- HAVE FUN and zaps !
now is translated in 8 languages and soon a new design (work in progress)
Are you a podcaster or you want to organize a streaming event? Shoot me any questions you have if you need help to setup this solution.
