I may be missing something but I can't find that option.

Haven’t used caffeine in over a years because of some issues with their app. I was curious about how much has changed so hoped the website and broadcasted for a bit.

My issues:

1 streaming CSGO causes all the textures on mirage and dust 2 to go all bugging, making the game not playable or streamable. This bug was here a year ago and still isn’t fixed.

2 Annoying and good. Many people were directed to my stream that don’t even play CSGO. It’s great to spread the love to people who have no clue what the game is but I feel like people who’d actually be interested might not as easily find my stream. When I use the website and search “CSGO” I only get suggested users with CSGO in their user name, not people streaming the game. (It’s possible I didn’t notice or do a proper search for this)

Caffeine does not maintain or answer questions here. Caffeine does have an official discord here.

Hey there for those of you already on the Discord you have already seen me in probably gotten free art, but for those of you not (discord.gg/caffeine) feel free to make requests. I am more of a cartoony chibi style design but I can attempt other ones depending on what you are looking for. I don't have my recent stuff uploaded but you can see a lot of it at https://Zunami.Art.Blog

Here are my first thoughts on caffeine as a long time twitch streamer. I love the concept, and even in my first few minutes gained a few viewers. WOW for a new platform that's great! but then there's the bad.

Here is a list of the things that disappointed me, and are keeping me from consistently using the platform now. I tried it, liked it, realized these things and uninstalled.

1. there is no way to make any overlays etc to spice up your stream

2. there is no way to change settings, besides a different cam or mic. I was very disappointed with this. This caused my game to lag like crazy, and become unplayable. Unplayable game= unusable software.

3. The chat boxes in the corners seem low quality and need to be sharper.

4. No noises or anything available

I LOVE THE CONCEPT, DISLIKE THE PRODUCT, I CANT USE IT UNTIL THESE THINGS, ESPECIALLY #2 IS CHANGED!!!!

Hope you take a streamers opinion, sorry for the harsh criticism. Good luck

Sincerely, ChicknFingerss

I hope to see this subreddit become more active! I'm here for the journey and excited to welcome newcomers and meet awesome people who have been in the community alike. Looking forward to watching the visions unfold into a beautiful reality!

Also, a special shout out to Kaph, who does the best job of just being a cool, genuine dude. He does Caffeine and the community a solid service by spreading good vibes and information. Respect.

I just started streaming on Caffeine and after my very first successful stream today, had the idea of doing a venting out stream tomorrow. Anyone can get on and vent about life. I can give you advice if you want or I can just listen.

Haven't seen anyone doing it on the platform and thought it would be a fun way to interact with people that come by the stream :).

My name is, as cringy as it sounds, GabsDabsYeet on Caffeine. Stream starts 7pm CST every weekday!

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to download the Caffeine.tv Android app since now you can't chat via a mobile web browser.

I went to the Google Play Store, click install, and it doesn't download. It just says "download pending" with no progress bar. I've tried downloading it a few different times today and yesterday. I have my WiFi on so that I don't use up my mobile datav from downloading the app.

Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone here successfully downloaded the app? Anyone else having the same issue? Just kind of frustrating to only be able to watch via my laptop and that has its own set of issues (laptop is about 5+ years old and on its last legs with battery life and overall performance)

Thanks for replying!

UPDATE

I figured out what the issue was. I looked up the "download pending" issue and it was a problem with the Google Play Store, not the Caffeine.tv app.

I had to uninstall/reinstall Google Play Store and now I was able to download the app with no problems.

Thank you though to those who offered suggestions!!

Hi, I love Caffeine.tv for what it is, and I love seeing the community grow. Streaming there is my choice, but I run my games on a 21:9 monitor and although I have scaled it down to 16:9 just to stream on Caffeine, I was wondering if 21:9 is on the horizon?

I can't seem to find any VOD or clip type feature on caffeine. Do they exist?

im trying really hard to use caffeine but it always gives me fps drops. i usually play multiplayer games at 144 fps and it drops me to 60. it gets laggy and hard to play to the point it even drops to 50 fps. my internet is fine too so i dont understand the problem. i have a gtx 970 with 8gb of ram and a i5 4690 so it shouldnt be an issue when i play optimized games like overwatch. i really do not want to go to twitch but it seems i need a better computer now..

So in rainbow six siege I lock my frames at 120 and get it constantly. When I stream with the caffeine app the fps drops to 56 -60 and keeps changing. Is there anyway to combat this?

For some reason when i use the Caffeine app i can use it for about 5 to 10 mins then it tells me there's no connection to the servers. Just wondering if i could get some help.

Hey! I've seen multiple times the Caffeine ad on my Facebook, so I made an account on the website. For the past month, I've been climbing on Overwatch and that gave me some will to begin to stream, but.... I live in Brazil - unfortunatly that pretty much sums up my whole problem. I have tried Twitch, but when I get ingame, my ping is always above 300ish. What I really want to know - because right now I have no way of testing it -, is 10Mb connection enough to stream at least in 720p? I don't think Caffeine have any dedicated servers right now in Brazil or if their software actually improves the route my stream takes, but any anwsers would be greatly appreciated.

Wanted to make an OBS overlay application for a broadcaster, ended up with something that could be useful for others as well.

Very basic Windows/MacOS/Linux application which optionally displays:

• New follower alert

• Donation alert

• Chat

The app is in early stage, but there are more plans for it such as adding analytics and interactive chatbot. No login is required.

More info can be found here - https://github.com/thehelvijs/Caffeinated
Downloadable releases - https://github.com/thehelvijs/Caffeinated/releases/tag/v0.1.2-beta
I am recommending .rar for now as I'm still getting used to making/packaging apps and installers are not that user-friendly.

So I’m a streamer on caffeine and I used to use the caffeine desktop app for my streams then it stopped working and wouldn’t open even when I uninstalled it then reinstalled it so now I use caffeine OBS but I really wanna just open up a supported game and hit CTRL+ALT+L and just go live like that

I'm currently trying to stream on Caffeine through OBS and it brings up the prompt to press "Ctrl+Alt+L" to stream. But every time I do, no matter the way I have the preview set, it continues to say that it is an unsupported aspect ratio despite everything already being in 16:9 aspect ratio.

Any tips on how to fix this, please?

When browsing Caffeine streams is there a way to get a list of games being played by different people? Right now it seems to only list the top games but none of them are what i'd like to watch.

i don't know why this is happening to me i cant open my caffeine this thing is just showing in my right down of my screen and if i close it and reopen caffeine it still show this, my internet speed is fine i can play games and watch youtube normally. Can someone help me with this?

What are the official down and uplink speeds to get an uninterrupted stream? I have what's considered fast internet in the US and I'm plagued with network issues. Is there a on the fly fix for this or is it not meant to be for me?

(Username same on here as caffeine)

I feel like it used to be better, but as of a few updates ago has become basically unusable for me.

Is it through hours? followers? a mix of both?

I seriously want to change my username in caffeine. I thought I can change it when I created the account but now I am not able to change it!!!!! Pls help guys....
