I started streaming with GeForce Experience. Although OBS is clearly much more powerful, flexible, and capable, I must admit that GeForce Experience was also much easier to use generally speaking.
The features that I loved and still do about GeForce Experience were:
Regarding the requirement of a stream key for OBS, I guess one drawback to the way GeForce Experience works is that it left a lot of stream-key "junk" on my YouTube account that I had to clean up afterward. Basically, dozens of stream-key settings that I had to clean up later on. However, that issue only affected my YouTube account and not Twitch. And once again, it's just extra work but I can still achieve what I want at least.
And that the stream doesn't stop on YouTube when I stop it on OBS, I guess I can get used to switching to the browser and stopping the stream there. Although it would be nice if OBS will work like GeForce Experience in that regard and I don't have to stop the stream a second time within the browser.
Finally, regarding the easy switching between push-to-talk and constant mic broadcasting, unfortunately, I could not find any workaround or solution for this in OBS. The best I could achieve was to set two shortcuts for Mute and Unmute and that's not exactly what I need.
So although I was able to find a workaround or alternative way of doing things on OBS for all issues, that's the one issue that I can't find an alternative for on OBS.
My suggestion is to please offer two new functionalities in the Hotkeys section: One called "Switch to Push-to-Talk Mode" and one called "Switch to Constant Mic Broadcasting Mode", or something along those lines. The first mode acts as a "Mute" mode where the mic is muted but the Push-to-talk shortcut works! The second mode is the normal constant mic broadcasting mode where perhaps the push-to-mute shortcut works.
Thank you.
The features that I loved and still do about GeForce Experience were:
- With GeForce Experience, I can switch between push-to-talk and constant mic broadcasting with 2 clicks on the overlay. That was really useful for me, especially because it doesn't require two different shortcuts for muting or unmuting, for example.
- I can specify a stream title before I start streaming, whether on YouTube Gaming or Twitch.
- I can stream without a stream key and all I need is to log into my YouTube or Twitch account.
- When streaming a YouTube Gaming "Event", when I stop the stream on GeForce Experience, the streaming stops on YouTube, too, but while using OBS, I have to stop streaming on OBS then also stop the stream on YouTube.
