Weekly deep dives into the DigiByte ecosystem — node setup, DigiDollar minting strategy, soft fork mechanics and live Q&A. Subscribe with DGB, tip with DigiDollar. All payments on-chain.
Your video goes straight from OBS to storage you own. This computer was needed once, to set it up — everything below is on your account, paid by you, in your name. DigiStream holds nothing and can switch nothing off.
One small file puts a small program on this computer. Its job is to set up your Cloudflare in the next step — after that you can stream with this computer switched off.
Once your channel has an address (step 2), you can pause the copying to it any time from the Dashboard — your channel stays up either way.
Everything happens in one folder. Your broadcasting software writes the live stream into it, recordings land in it, and your channel details sit in it. Publish that folder and you're on DigiStream.
Nothing is uploaded to us — there is no "us" to upload to. If you copy the folder to storage, it is your storage on your account, and this folder stays the original.
mkdir -p ~/Videos/DigiStream/vodschannel.json inside itchannel.json in the folder you just made — not in Downloads.~/Videos/DigiStream/live.m3u8Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, or browsers refuse to read your
channel and it appears offline to everyone.cd ~/Videos/DigiStream && python3 -c "import http.server as h,socketserver;C=type('C',(h.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler,),{'end_headers':lambda s:(s.send_header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin','*'),h.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.end_headers(s))});socketserver.TCPServer(('',8080),C).serve_forever()"python3 -m http.server will not work — it sends no CORS header.One Cloudflare key, and the page makes three things on your account: your storage (where live video and replays are kept), your receiver (it takes your video from OBS or your phone and puts it in your storage), and your address if you have a domain. It also makes your stream key, kept on this computer.
The account is yours, paid by you, in your name. DigiStream holds nothing and can switch nothing off. That is deliberate: a platform able to take your channel away is a platform you are renting your audience from.
It takes two keys and about two minutes, and it does the fiddly parts itself — making your storage and receiver, letting browsers read it, and pointing your domain at it if you have one.
channel.json, which is public.OBS is the free program that captures your camera and screen. It's what almost every streamer uses, and it's the only other thing you need. Install it here, then point it at your channel just below.

OBS normally saves a video file wherever it likes. You're changing it to write a live playlist straight into your channel folder instead — that playlist appearing is you going live. It is the whole connection between OBS and DigiStream.
Every stream you finish becomes a replay by itself and is kept on your Cloudflare. Videos from this computer go under Uploaded videos. Choose what plays on your channel while you are not live under When you’re not live.
Your own camera app, from your own receiver. Scan one code and it sits on your phone's home screen: no computer needed after that, and no app store.
Tap the link it shows (Chrome on Android), then Add Go Live to your home screen. The phone appears below as soon as it connects. Each code works for one phone.
Lost a phone? Press Disconnect on it. Within a minute it can't go live or chat as you; OBS and your other phones keep working.
Press Show my phone code (or Add a phone). On the phone open the camera, point it at the code and tap the link. Android opens it in Chrome. The code hides itself after two minutes and works for one phone.
Tap Add Go Live to your home screen. If it doesn't show, Chrome's menu ⋮ → Install app. iPhone: Share → Add to Home Screen (not tried on iPhone yet).
Tap the icon, Open the camera, turn the phone sideways and press GO LIVE. Wait for “You are live”. Done? Press Stop and keep it open until it says everything is sent.

Upload only. Watching your own chat uses very little.
A portable Starlink gives your phone fast internet from the sky: beaches, boats, back roads, campgrounds. Your phone joins its Wi-Fi and Go Live streams to your own receiver exactly like at home. Nothing to install or connect here.
Anything overhead blocks it. Move the dish, not the phone.
A few seconds now and then. Go Live keeps recording and catches up, so your replay stays whole.
About 0.42 GB an hour on Normal, 0.26 GB on Low. Work it out below.
The Mini draws roughly 25–40 W. Bring a big power bank.
Video plus sound, rounded up. Check it against your Starlink plan.
How going live works, where your videos end up, and what to check when something doesn't look right.
Pick where your video ends up, then point OBS at it. If you don't have OBS yet, install it first — see Download OBS in the sidebar.
