Download and install an encoder program. An encoder is a program that converts your inputs (camera, capture card, microphone, etc.) into video that can be streamed online. While a lot of webcam websites have built-in encoding solutions, using your own encoder will provide much higher quality and give you more control over your broadcast. Encoders are also required for more intensive broadcasts, such as shows that require multiple cameras or need high-quality sound. There are a variety of encoding programs available, though many of them require a purchase in order to access most features.

• Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is a free, open-source encoder that supports many advanced functions. This guide will assume you are using OBS, as it is the most powerful free option. OBS comes with configuration profiles for several of the most popular streaming services.
• Wirecast is another encoder that allows you to quickly interface with streaming services like YouTube Live Streaming. The free version only allows for a single camera input.
• Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE) is an Adobe product that contains a large number of professional features, but can be quite costly. You can quickly interface it with many different streaming services by loading the FMLE profile that the service provides.

Streaming just means a download that they don't want you to keep. But Chrome's developer tools make it easy to access what's really going on under the hood.

Open Developer Tools

From the page where you want to download some things, go into your chrome menu to open the developer tools. You can either:

1. (On a mac): Command-option-J
2. (On a PC): Control-alt-J
3. (In your menu on a mac): Open View > Developer > Developer Tools
4. (On any Chrome machine): The far right menu button, to the right of the URL bar, you can press that, go down to 'Tools', then open the 'Developer Tools'.

Monitor Network Traffic

By clicking the 'Network' tab, you'll get a list of all files requested since you opened that tab. Our goal is to isolate the web request that returns the video of your choice. At this point, you can navigate to the video you want, and I'd probably press the 'clear' button in the developer tools right before finally pressing the 'Play' button on the video, so it can be one of the only transfers you see.

Identify the video transfer

It should be easy to recognize the video transfer: It has a mime type of video, it's a transfer that should take a lot longer than the rest, etc.

Once you've found it, click on the request name, which represents the HTTP request that was sent to the server for the video file.

Identify the Request URL

The first thing in the first tab of the request viewer should be the Request URL in the Headers tab. You can just copy this URL into another window/tab, and now if you right click the video, it should include a Save option, unlike when the whole thing was wrapped in Flash or whatever.
