What is Twitch.tv?
Twitch is the world's leading video platform and community for gamers with more than 60 million visitors per month. We want to connect gamers around the world by allowing them to broadcast, watch, and chat from everywhere they play.

What is Overwolf?
Overwolf adds epic apps into PC games. Its rich inventory includes apps such as an in-game browser, Game capture, Skype, Twitch streaming, and more! Overwolf has been chosen by TeamSpeak to be their official overlay solution. Overwolf has just added San Andreas Multiplayer support to their overlay program.

Why should I broadcast?
Broadcasting is a good way to get players interested in your server. By showing them the in-game features before they connect they can see weather or not it's the type of server they want to join. Streaming not only helps players get interested into your server, it's also a way to promote hardcore gamers into competing into your server. Twitch.tv is the website you will be broadcasting on in this tutorial thanks to the new Overwolf in-game support requested by SA:MP users.

Setting up a Twitch.tv account.
To broadcast, first you need to register an account with Twitch. You can do so by visiting www.Twitch.tv and the register button is on the top right corner of the web page.

Next you can either make a Twitch account or sign-up using ******** and then typing a Username.
Please remember your Username!


Setting up a Overwolf account.
Secondly you must download Overwolf on their website at www.Overwolf.com and then sign-up for an account on the main page. Once installed, if you're on Windows (not sure about Mac or Linux), you'll notice a black dot appear on the left of your screen saying welcome to you. If you hover your mouse over that dot the Overwolf overlay will show you all of the apps you can use. Click on the Appstore (almost everything is free there), and then look for Twitch in the 'capture' category. Click on it and then click on install (this does not download anything onto your computer it just flags your account to use the Twitch app). Now you're ready to use Twitch in-game!

Using Overwolf in San Andreas Multiplayer.
Open up the server of your choosing (or your own), you MUST be in-game to broadcast to Twitch. Once in-game you can use the set bind of SHIFT+F1 and this will enable Overwolf's in-game mouse. Now you can use Overwolf the same way we used Overwolf on our desktop, just mouse over! To disable the mouse minimize out of any app you've opened up and then hit SHIFT+F1 again and then click Okay on the dialog that opened up.

Broadcasting.
Navigate to the Twitch app and sign into your Twitch account. Type in the title for your stream "My Test Run" or whatever you want it to be titled and then click on the red recording button. To see if you're live, you'll see the view counter pop up, looks like quotes in a box ["], and will have a 0, the 0 is the number of viewers on your stream! To link people to your stream simply give them the twitch.tv url and your username like so: www.twitch.tv/skittlesarefalling

That is pretty much it so enjoy!
If the tutorial is too confusing let me know and I will explain further.
Wish you the best of luck on your streams!

This isn't really the right section to post this.
As this is SA-MP -> Scripting Help -> Tutorials
