It's funny to read that "YouTube's live streaming support has gotten much better and is now a solid competitor to Twitch" but I guess it's true. I've been exploring the game-streaming world using YouTube with xSplit for the last few years. That's how I stream my talks. This article recommends an open source application called Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). Haven't used it; can't vouch for it, but the core idea here is that you use an application to capture the video feed and broadcast it to YouTube (or Twitch, or wherever) much the way a Digital Signal Porcessor (DSP) captures and sends audio signals for web radio. Twitch is probably blocked in your office (it is in mine) but this sort of technology has a bright future in e-learning.
