The Challenge

Amazon Game Studios needed to maximize exposure for a new game during Gamescom, the world’s largest video game convention. They needed an easier way for guest casters to stream the new Breakaway title to their audiences live from the Breakaway exhibit at Gamescom 2017 in Cologne, Germany, and asked us how they could simplify and streamline the guest casting experience at live events.

Our Solution

To address Amazon's need to simplify and streamline, we developed the GuestStream workflow: a customizable streaming application that eliminates the hassle of configuration prior to streaming by consolidating the process into a single user login. We focused on keeping the setup process fast and easy while providing streamers with control of hundreds of stream commands. By integrating the control panel hardware, streamers were able to easily switch scenes, launch media, activate overlays, adjust audio, start/stop the stream, and more.

With the GuestStream, streamers were also able to distribute content across multiple platforms to reach a broader audience. They could choose from Twitch, Mixer, Facebook, You Tube, Twitter, Da Cast or any other streaming platform and broadcast simultaneously to get the most out of their content.
