Studio Quality Live Streaming

Getting Started / Requirements

• Plug-in a decent quality USB webcam capable of HD/720p. Avoid "built-in" laptop webcams.
• Plug-in a decent quality USB microphone, audio interface, or mini-mixer for your audio. Devices should be capable of two-channel stereo and minimum 48khz sample rates. Do NOT use "built-in" laptop microphones or cheap $10 computer mics with 3.5mm jacks.
• Requires a broadband internet connection with at least 1Mbps upload speeds. Avoid using wifi connections or shared networks that may divide data load with other users close by. Definitely do not use public wifi as they typically block or limit heavy data uploads and video.
• Test all your equipment before going live on the StreetJelly Tester page. You will be able to test a complete broadcast up to the StreetJelly system and back down as a viewer. This test will not be public and only viewable by you. To test: click on the Broadcast icon from the top menu, then click on the "Tester Page" button to start.

StreetJelly's tipping system is fairly straightforward: Musicians perform. Listeners buy virtual tokens and use them to tip musicians. Musicians graciously thank listeners for their generosity and cash in tokens for real money.

Each token is worth $0.16 to the musician.
Payments are made monthly when the artist has accumulated at least $50.
All Payments are made in US Dollars through PayPal.
Normal PayPal transfer fees and international conversion fees may apply. It's them, not us.

Musicians who spend a lot of time on the site building their fan bases can achieve a variety of awards, known as Rocker Pins. These awards distinguish the seasoned veterans from the newbs. They're not exactly Boy Scout merit badges, but they do show potential listeners that certain musicians know how to put on a good show.

If you want to thrive on StreetJelly, just remember the three Plays:

   Play hard. Play well. Play often.

And don't worry, friend, the tips and awards will soon follow.
