Streaming setup with Mixer

I’ve had a few questions about how to get set up with streaming to Mixer, so I’m creating this guide to help get you started. This certainly isn’t going to be an exhaustive guide, as there’s way too much to cover. I’m hopeful that this will at least get you up and going for something like playing Jackbox Party games with your friends during COVID lockdowns. I know this seems like a lot for a basic setup, but this isn’t exactly easy. It was until Microsoft removed Mixer streaming from the Game Bar built into Windows. If you have questions, feel free to hit me (CombFiltered) up on our Discord, and I’ll try to help work through your scenario as much as possible. I’m certainly no expert, but I’ve worked with OBS enough to know my way around the basics.

What’s in a Name – CombFiltered

Before we begin to dissect the name “CombFiltered,” I’d like to quote probably the most famous person who has ever discussed my name – Major Nelson at Xbox. In an email exchange we had about it, he said, “That is not at all what I was thinking when we were chatting about it on the podcast. It’s original though, I’ll give you that.” You can listen to the ever entertaining trio of Larry Hryb (Major Nelson), Jeff Rubenstein, and Laura Massey discuss my gamertag on Major Nelson’s podcast and what they thought it meant. Spoiler: they weren’t even close.

Let the mystery build…

What’s in a Name – The League of Extraordinarily Okay Gamers

We’re working on putting together some posts about our names and how they came to be. Some of our names may be obvious if you know us, and others…well…let’s just say they’re a little obscure. For now, what better name to start with than the biggest name of them all – The League of Extraordinarily Okay Gamers.

On & Piqued – 2/20/2020

We’re going to start a recurring blog post called “On & Piqued.” The purpose of this is getting some quick insight into what’s going on in our gaming world. Not all of us will be included in each post if we don’t have a lot going on, but hopefully most will be. The “On” part is what has been on our gaming devices recently. The “Piqued” part is anything that has piqued our interest. It might be a game that we used to play, came out with an update or has announced an update, and we’re thinking of going back to it. It might be a game concept that was announced and isn’t launching for 5 years. Whatever is making a splash in our little worlds.
