Sådan fungerer D1 Arena - Kom godt i gang-vejledning

How D1 Arena Works

D1 Arena brings esports tournaments, live streaming, VODs and clips, creator support, teams, and community communication together in one platform. Creators can stream and build a community independently, while players, organizers and shoutcasters can combine these tools around competitive events. Advertisers manage campaigns through a separate advertiser account.

Live Streaming Setup

D1 Arena supports multiple streaming protocols. Your server URL and stream key are available in your Hub → Studio → Ingest.

Option 1: RTMP Streaming (All Tiers)

RTMP is the broadest-compatibility ingest option and works with common broadcasting software. Starter and PRO accounts may stream up to 720p, Ultimate up to 1080p, and Partner up to 2160p.

Open your Hub → Studio → Ingest
Copy your RTMP Server URL and Stream Key
Open your broadcasting software and choose a custom service
Paste the server URL and stream key
Start streaming

Option 2: SRT Streaming (PRO, Ultimate & Partner)

SRT can provide lower-latency, reliable ingest over unstable connections. It is available to PRO accounts up to 720p, Ultimate up to 1080p, and Partner up to 2160p.

Open your Hub → Studio → Ingest
Copy your SRT URL, which includes your stream key
Open your broadcasting software and choose a custom service
Paste the SRT URL
Start streaming

Note: Starter accounts cannot publish over SRT.

Option 3: WHIP/Browser Streaming (Ultimate & Partner)

WHIP supports browser or compatible broadcaster ingest for Ultimate accounts up to 1080p and Partner accounts up to 2160p.

Open your Hub → Studio → Ingest
Choose the available WHIP or browser publishing option
Allow camera and microphone access when browser publishing requires it
Start streaming

Compatible viewers attempt WHEP playback first and fall back to HLS when needed. Starter and PRO accounts cannot publish over WHIP.

Earning as a Streamer

Multiple ways to monetize your content:

Tips and Supporter Subscriptions: For creator tips and supporter subscriptions, the product share before processing is 75% on Starter, 82% on PRO, 90% on Ultimate and 95% on Partner. Processing components are separate, so these percentages are not final creator deposits. Review the transaction’s fee breakdown for the amount allocated to the creator.
Supporter Subscriptions: Fans can subscribe monthly ($4.99/$9.99/$24.99) to support you
Tournament Winnings: Compete and earn prize money

Revenue by Membership Tier

Tier	Supporter Subs/Tips	Tournament Fee	Ad-Free Viewing
Starter (Free)	75% before processing	11.4%	No
PRO ($14.99/mo)	82% before processing	9.4%	No
Ultimate ($29.99/mo)	90% before processing	8.4%	Yes
Partner (Invite-Only)	95% before processing	7.4%	Yes

Tournament percentages include the configured 5.4% processing component. Advertising revenue is retained by D1 Arena and is not included in creator revenue shares.

D1 Frenzy (Stream Hype Bar)

D1 Frenzy is the live hype meter that powers up while a streamer is live:

Watch a live stream and send a tip or subscribe to the channel
Your contribution automatically counts toward the active Frenzy session
The Frenzy meter advances through five levels with on-stream celebrations and a contributor count
A countdown timer shows how long viewers have to push the hype to the next level

Frenzy contributions follow the standard tip and subscription rules — the meter is purely a hype layer, not a separate purchase.

D1 then removes or de-identifies personal data subject to the retention exceptions in the Privacy Policy, including applicable payment, dispute, security and legal records. Deleting a D1 account does not automatically delete records held by service providers.
Security Sessions: View and manage all active login sessions

Security & Authentication

You can choose one active two-factor authentication method: an authenticator app, SMS or email. Recovery codes provide a backup. Website passkeys are a separate sign-in option; manage available security settings in Hub → Account → Security.

Passkeys (Strongest, Phishing-Resistant)

Go to Hub → Account → Security
Click "Register a Passkey"
Follow your device's prompt — Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or insert your hardware key
Give the passkey a label (e.g. "iPhone 15", "Work Laptop", "YubiKey 5")
On future logins, click "Sign in with a passkey" instead of typing your password

Passkeys work on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Windows 10 and newer, Chromebook, and hardware keys like YubiKey. Register one per device for convenience and resilience — if you lose one device, another still works.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Go to Hub → Account → Security → Two-Factor Authentication
Choose Authenticator App (recommended), Email Code, or SMS Code
For Authenticator App: scan the QR code with Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or similar
Enter the 6-digit code to verify
Save your recovery codes somewhere safe — they're the only way back in if you lose your device

Security Sessions

Go to Hub → Account → Security → Active Sessions to see every device currently signed in to your account. If you see something you don't recognise, click "Revoke" to log that device out immediately. You'll also get an email alert whenever a new device signs in, so suspicious activity is caught fast.

D1-Native Viewer-Side Overlays

D1 Arena no longer uses the old streamer-side overlay workflow. RTMP broadcasting software is still valid for ingest, but alerts and engagement overlays now render inside the D1 player for each viewer.

Go to Hub → Channel → Overlays
Use the unified 16:9 preview to enable and position viewer alerts, goal bar, polls/predictions, reward banner, D1 Frenzy, and chat TTS
Save the layout; viewers see the overlays on D1 Arena watch pages in their own locale
Use Hub → Channel → TTS for detailed Chat TTS voice, filter, and trigger settings

Why this changed: Streamer-side overlays burn one language into the stream. Viewer-side overlays let D1 Arena localize alerts, polls, reward banners, and TTS per viewer without external widget platforms.

Team HQ

Authorized team members use Team HQ for text channels plus native voice, camera, and screen sharing. Access is authenticated and controlled by team membership, verification, and channel permissions.

Watch Parties

Create a Watch Party from a D1 Arena VOD. Guests can open the shared page to watch; signed-in participants can chat. The host controls synchronized playback and chooses whether native D1 voice is off, friends-only, or open to all signed-in participants. Voice participants can use camera and screen sharing.

Friend Calls

Accepted D1 friends can exchange direct messages and use voice, video and screen sharing. Conversations with multiple friends support up to 10 eligible participants. Calls start one-to-one and can include up to 10 eligible friends. Friendship, blocking and age controls apply between participants; following an account alone does not grant messaging or calling access. These conversations are separate from Teams, which have their own rosters and Team HQ.

Official Cast

Approved tournament casters publish through D1 Arena using supported ingest paths. The cast is delivered through the normal D1 playback and automatic VOD pipeline. A native server-side multi-caster audio mixer is not currently implemented.

Merch Store

Physical print-on-demand checkout and automatic order submission to Printful are currently unavailable. For an existing purchase, open Purchases in the Hub or contact Support. Existing orders, refunds and disputes remain subject to the applicable purchase terms and Refund Policy.

Content ID

VODs and clips can be scanned with AcoustID-based audio fingerprinting. Matches surface in the copyright dashboard so streamers can respond to claims.

Game discovery uses D1’s Steam-fed catalog (RAWG residual only).

Selected public clips and Clip of the Week winners may be shared on D1-operated social channels; details are in the Privacy Policy.
