So after a couple of people showed some interest in the subject when Nony was streaming his games, I decided to try the service for myself, and it's really easy!

First of all you're gonna need xfire, here: http://www.xfire.com/download/now/
Then, Install it and register an account. Now go to option-tools-broadcasting, and click enable. Open up your game through xfire's list of your games, and hit scroll lock+B. That's it, your stream will now appear at www.xfire.com/live_video/username/ !

Feel free to share your xfire account names if you plan to stream!

Edit: Small update, If your graphics card supports DX10 streaming won't work for you.

it also has a record feature that is incredibly easy to use the only real downside is that the quality is far less than a program like camtasia

What kind of performance drop will you suffer? I've never used this feature...

I prefer Xfire to Fraps. Xfire effects FPS a lot less.

Taohiker check if your keybindings are set correctly under tools-options-broadcast. Today for some reason I'm getting black lines all over my screen when I load up starcraft with xfire. Sigh, anyone know how to solve this?

Edit: 'kay so I found the cause of this, if you have a DX10 graphics card and leave xfire running while playing, you'll get some sort of screen-tears. Currently no solution, except switching graphics cars ._.

Edit2: Quote from Xfire, this will allow you to play the game with Xfire on but not stream.

+ Show Spoiler +
* When I play Starcraft with Xfire In-Game enabled I get black bars on my screen. How can I fix it?
You are likely running on a DirectX 10 supported graphics card. This is currently a known issue with Xfire In-Game's DDRAW rendering mode and dx10 supported cards.

Unfortunately, the only workaround is to turn off Xfire In-Game messaging.

To disable In Game messaging for individual games:

* Make sure you exit any games that are running.
* In Xfire, go to the Tools | Options | Games tab.
* Under Installed Games, highlight the title of the game you wish to disable In-Game messaging for.
* Click the Advanced Options button.
* Check "Disable Xfire In-game."

No Exit or log off is required for this change.

The next time you launch that game, XIG should be disabled.
