Big issue for me: afreeca does not allow to watch several streams at the same time.

Not the ones i watch. Afreeca are also naughty and stream premier league games (football) and those get 1000s it funny cuz it has two Koreans in the studio commentating on it haha.


When afreecaTV gets the license to broadcast something, in this case Premier League, that license also extends to users to rebroadcast. So often times during big sporting events, for example the World Cup, you might see several afreecaTV BJs commentating on it with their own style. One user did this for baseball and eventually got picked up by a network to do it professionally.

However, to keep it on topic, since this is in the SC2 forum, we have the license to SPOTV's SC2 events. Anyone is free to broadcast those games as well.


Do you have licenses for Formula 1 or Indycar Series?


To my knowledge, no, not at this time.

Yes, the Star Balloon system is the exact same, except they are called STARs on afreecaTV Global.
Japan uses Star Balloons, but the Taiwanese version uses Hearts.

Wait, everyone can rebroadcast proleague and cast it? Live while the official cast is going on? That sounds amazing. So for example TakeTV could just cast SPL on german over AfreecaTV?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Yes, absolutely. A clean feed may also be available. By that I mean, you may be able to receive a feed with game sounds and no commentary, so that you don't hear the official commentary in the back ground while trying to commentate over it.

Not sure if this works for you, but if you 'pop-out' the streams, you can arrange as many of them as you like...

I think he means on the original afreecaTV (Korea) site.
This came up in a thread in the Brood War General forum.
Some users suggested getting around this by opening up another window in incognito mode.

Don't mean to spam you with questions ;P but this post picked my interest. So we should not treat this site as an
english language client to give us access to korean AfreecaTV resources but rather as a seperate entity under the same umbrella operation?

I'm not familiar with Afreeca streaming - I only know OBS. I use gamecapture. As far as I know, Afreeca streaming program only captures monitor - not window. Which means I cannot watch NSFW during queue search during my streams - correct?

Point is - game capture is best for privacy.

Haha! Don't worry, you can achieve all of this by just adding FFSplit to the equation in conjunction with AfreecaTV Streaming program! :-D

Anothe question - that weird Macho guy seems to only have 2 viewers on Twitch. I'm assuming he mainly streams Afreeca and streams simultaneously to both Twitch & Afreeca since he has double the upstream power?

Not sure what weird Macho guy you are referring to, and I don't know that many broadcasters stream on Afreeca and Twitch at the same time, although it is possible.

I've always debated on whether to move/try Afreeca since last year. One of my viewers did mention that it's alot easier to monetize especially if you are a non-partnered small time streamer on Twitch.

This kind of reminds me of CyWorld USA site lol. But I feel you know there's a big benefit to using this proud product than Twitch and I'm just trying to understand better at this point.

Yes and I absolutely understand your concern, it is a lot easier for a fairly new streamer to get noticed and build a following on AfreecaTV as opposed to Twitch, as Twitch has a really large base of streamers.

I don't think I ever saw CyWorld USA, but that sounds interesting. I would highly recommend anyone in a similar situation to yours, who is interested and wanting to understand better, to start broadcasting on AfreecaTV and see how you like it! I'm sure that you will find it is just as exciting as it is described here in this thread, give it a shot sir!
