To @DarthCoin or other stackers familiar with zap.stream, I'm poking around and want to start using it. Some basic questions:
-
Can you both upload videos and stream? How do you do this?
-
Any hints for best performance? I can watch on my laptop, but can't seem to access the site on my graphene pixel.

opinions on its potential?

You mean to have your own CDN ? If you have a good bandwidth and a fix public IP (or some kind of DynDNS service), then yes, you can use it.
I use to have it like that with my own NAS, but only for private stuff, not public.

Yes, I remember we talked about it. I still have my old synology NAS hooked up.
You can watch zap.stream on amethyst in their live section
I use OBS with zap.stream to play songs from my wavlake catalogue and it works fine.
Zap.stream is cool, I heard about some other guys trying to be the youtube competitor, flare.pub is barely being maintained last I checked.
