After your stream is concluded, it saves the livestream as a VOD. With this method, you don&amp;#x27;t have to worry about storing large video files when recording yourself.&lt;p&gt;Also, because it&amp;#x27;s YouTube, you inherit all of the benefits YouTube provides. You get the added benefit of having closed captioning for your videos after processing. You can watch through your recordings at 2x speed. And of course, you can share VODs to other people if you ever need to.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been treating YouTube as a personalized streaming website with free, unlimited storage.&lt;p&gt;If you do end up doing this, make sure to avoid any copyrighted content (Netflix, official music, etc.), otherwise YouTube will copyright strike your channel.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jokab</author><text>Obs studio. I record myself while coding anything. I pretend to be a bigshot coding streaming sensation (even if its just for me). Its fun as well as very helpful in so many ways.&lt;p&gt;1. It helps me stay focus on the task at hand. One recording for each task
2. It lets me practice how to articulate stuffs. Its like blogging but ephemeral (because i wont upload this)
3. It helps me get motivated. Cant let my &amp;quot;thousands&amp;quot; of viewers down
4. It lets me review my blunders so i know how to watch out for them in the future
5. Its fun. I can let off some steam because i can curse all i want, my audience is 18+ and fine with some &amp;quot;sentence enhancers&amp;quot;.

A couple of months ago I built out the design then all the FE code for a prototype app, and recorded the whole process as J was doing it, mainly as an experiment to see where o could improve a few aspects of my designing&amp;#x2F;developing.&lt;p&gt;It was all a huge faff as I was just recording short screen captures using QuickTime. But it&amp;#x27;s definitely the most productive I&amp;#x27;ve been for a very long time, as well as ending up with designs better than anything else I&amp;#x27;ve done for the last year. I did it at work in the office over a few days, so couldn&amp;#x27;t really talk my way through it (which I think would have improved things still further). I haven&amp;#x27;t repeated the technique because of the (non programming) effort involved, but Obs seems very good, and something that should push me to try to implement the technique a lot more.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jokab</author><text>Obs studio.
