The most common streaming applications (OBS, XSplit) have chroma key options that will allow you to easily remove the green, and show the game\/camera layer behind it.<\/li>\n <li>The small green box in the lower right is for a webcam, but it can be hidden in the &#8220;settings&#8221; panel.<\/li>\n <li>The app, by default, is set to only accept and open LD36 games.\u00a0 However, you can easily change this in the &#8220;settings&#8221; panel.<\/li>\n <li>The app has only been tested on PC.\u00a0 Please let me know if you&#8217;re able to test it on Mac or Linux.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <h2>Feedback<\/h2>\n <p>If you try using the app, I would really appreciate your feedback. What features would you like to see added? Is the interface easy to use? What can I improve on?<\/p>\n <p>Also, I did my best to fix all the bugs I could find, but you know how it is&#8230; if you find any bugs, please let me know.<\/p>\n <h2>Contact<\/h2>\n <p>You can contact me on this post, or by email (infernoarchon@gmail.com) with any questions, feedback, or bug reports.\u00a0 Thanks again for your help! I hope you find the app useful.<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2016 5:22 am","title":"Enjoy Streaming LD Games? Use This!"}
