Planning

5:38
The plan New
Creating a scheduled stream, line by line: game, track, style, thumbnail, channel, “Live on” (Live auf) Twitch or Twitch + YouTube — then the announcement, your own website, Twitch and YouTube, and canceling instead of deleting.
6:23
The stream plan — Part 2: Creating a weekly plan New
Enter your regular rhythm once: days, time, format name, every week or every other week — when the streams land in the plan, what stays changed by hand, and the weekly plan image for Discord, X and Instagram.
6:38
The stream plan — Part 3: Creating a league series New
Plan a league with eight races every two weeks in one go: create the rounds, set track, classes and special rule per round, a title template with placeholders, a thumbnail from the track map, a YouTube playlist — and reschedule when a race is canceled.
7:08
The stream plan — Part 4: Points, results, standings New
Points templates based on real racing series (WEC, ELMS, DTM, F1 …) or your own, team scoring, reading results from Le Mans Ultimate or recognizing the leaderboard from the recording, checking and confirming — then standings per class and team rankings on your website and Discord.
4:34
The stream plan — Part 5: Events and breaks New

6:46
The stream plan — Part 6: Discord — creating the bot New
Your own bot for your server, field by field in the Discord Developer Portal: create the application, app icon and banner, install link “None”, “Public Bot” off, store the token — and why you don't need to click anything for app verification.
5:48
The stream plan — Part 7: Discord — channels per game New
Add the bot to your server, paste the server ID, test the connection — then pick a channel per type (announcements, live now, results, weekly plan image), your own channels per game, and “Send test” (Probe senden).
6:28
The stream plan — Part 8: Twitch, YouTube, website New
What goes out from the plan on its own: Twitch schedule with and without Affiliate, YouTube broadcasts with playlist and shelf on your channel page, a stream calendar on your own website, a calendar subscription for viewers — and how to tell that everything arrived.
2:15

One hour of Hunt, then WARDOGS, without ending the stream: more games on the event, switching by hand or automatically, the switch break, recording split or with chapters.

3:28
Adding sim racing overlays New
RaceLab and GoFast in the same browser source as your overlay: get the address, add a “Third-party overlay” element, choose when it shows, full area or a cutout — and what to check if nothing appears.
2:44
Layouts — the canvas in zones New
Split the canvas into zones like window snapping in Windows: pick a template, snap elements in with Ctrl, move the divider, place freely, several layouts per design and your own templates.
1:26
Ultrawide monitor New
21:9 and 32:9 in a 16:9 stream: the right canvas, the three approaches (show all, fill zone, ultrawide on top) and the settings for Twitch and YouTube.

1:35
Elements: the video New
A clip in your scene — intro or ad clip: playback, scene change, ending, target scene and audio.
1:36
Elements: image, frame and shape New

Free text anywhere in the picture and the three cards with fixed jobs: the start card with a countdown to the stream, the break text and the farewell.
1:48

Styles
Going live
5:14
Going live New
The stream night itself: START, PAUSE, CLIP and END, what START does step by step, Twitch and YouTube at the same time, the autopilot, variants, overlays, the log — and “Show tech” (Technik anzeigen) when something gets stuck.
2:52

The numbers from Twitch Stream Manager as a bar on top of your game: tiles, traffic light, snoozing ads, markers and clips, alerts for follows, subs and raids.
After the stream

Afterwards New
After the stream: the recording goes to YouTube on its own, status and visibility, uploading and touching up — and turning clips into Shorts.

Your first livery
2:51

Where the template comes from (iRacing members area, LMU Steam folder), how to import it and how the app recognizes the sim — plus work in progress per car, saving a project and sharing a design.
2:40

3:20
Into the game: iRacing New
Getting your livery into iRacing: team or personal, customer ID and team ID in the settings, car folder, export, the paint folder, Ctrl + R in the game — and why others only see it through Trading Paints.
1:28
Into the game: Le Mans Ultimate New
Getting your livery into Le Mans Ultimate: export, the two files (livery and material map), the Liveries folder, loading it in the showroom — and how “Load livery” (Lackierung laden) brings a finished LMU livery back into the app.
Designing
3:09

What a UV layout is and how you tell the car where the front, hood, roof, rear and sides are: island click, counterpart, suggest and swap sides, brush, close gaps, dividing line, custom zones and the pie chart.
2:41
Areas New
Your own groups of parts with a center line, a front marker and a section of the car — shown on the front bumper, which sits sideways in the template. Then the area as a surface while designing.
3:03

2:03

Designing with AI
2:17
Setting up the AI New
What an API key is and what the AI costs, creating the key in Google AI Studio (with a payment method for images), pasting it into ⚙ → AI connection (KI-Anbindung), testing the connection, fetching models with the traffic light — and how to tell that the key is stored.
Tools
More videos on the AI features are in the works.
