Turn Your Gameplay Into Entertainment

Streaming your competitive matches adds an exciting dimension to your D1 Arena experience. Whether you want to build an audience, review your gameplay, or simply share your tournament runs with friends, our built-in streaming tools make it easy to broadcast like a professional.

Getting Started with D1 Arena Streaming

Unlike other platforms that require complex third-party setups, D1 Arena offers integrated streaming:

  • Access your unique stream key from your dashboard under "My Stream."
  • Configure your streaming software (OBS, Streamlabs, etc.) with your D1 Arena stream URL.
  • Go live directly on D1 Arena where tournament participants and fans can watch.
  • Your streams are automatically associated with your tournaments and matches.

Optimizing Your Stream Quality

Technical quality matters for viewer retention:

  • Resolution: 1080p is ideal, but 720p works well for most internet connections.
  • Bitrate: 4500-6000 kbps for 1080p; 2500-4000 kbps for 720p.
  • Frame rate: 60fps for fast-paced games; 30fps is acceptable for slower titles.
  • Audio: Clear microphone audio is often more important than video quality.

Engaging Your Audience

Great streamers connect with viewers beyond just gameplay:

  • Acknowledge chat: Read and respond to viewer messages when possible.
  • Explain your decisions: Talk through your strategy—viewers learn and engage more.
  • Stay positive: How you handle losses shows your character more than how you celebrate wins.
  • Consistent schedule: Regular streaming times help build a loyal audience.

VOD Storage and Review

D1 Arena automatically saves your streams as VODs:

  • Free users: VODs stored for 15 days.
  • PRO members: Extended 90-day VOD storage.
  • Use VODs to review your gameplay and identify areas for improvement.
  • Share VOD highlights with your community or potential teammates.
