I think as everyone is trying to get in on streaming and streaming roll20 or vtts in general. there needs to be a lot more integration to make it easier for dms old and new to get onto say twitch or youtube to stream their games. the problems that i'm having are as such. I need a way to display player view to the stream, currently one solution which is a make do fix is to make another account for the camera perspective. and then share vision. it would be nice if there was something that the gm could use like a weblink that could be used as a source for streaming programs to pull from. and this just doesnt go from what the player sees but a web link that could be generated from the roll display. as opposed to having part of your display cordoned off and cropped with another open window. getting a source link would guarantee any settings within a streaming app that its going to be the same every time. currently you have to make sure any scene created in a streaming app has to have the roll display and the map display in the same place you left it before. making it easier and fool proof for new streamers by providing individual weblinks on request would solve this issue. Next having an obs streamlabs widget or twitch widget that talks with the character sheets and displays stats in a customisable way. for instance i have an overlay designed for streaming nad i have specific spaces that i have for stat boxes. but what i would like to have is it interactively talking with roll 20 character sheets so that if any changes happen or if they get stat boosting items or they upgrade the character through a stat increase it changes without having to manually edit it. im sure with widgets and today's technology something could be worked out as to how to do this. it would also go further in opening up roll 20 to more players and making streaming easier. maybe in the widget if we wanted to go further status changes could be displayed upon gm setting it on a player. so a player gets stunned or paralyzed and a pop up on stream shows the audience what happened. i think this is the kinda future id want to see with interactive roll 20 streams. if there are any more ideas to add to this we could make this thread really useful to the dnd streaming community.
