Have you ever had a question in your Twitch chat that would be easiest to answer if you could just talk to the viewer? If they could call you up on stream, you could talk them through the problem and ask more questions without the stream delay and awkward waiting. Well, in this video I’m going to show you how easy this is to set up for your stream using Twilio, OBS, and Node.js.
By the end of the video, you’ll know how to get this set up for your own stream. The next time someone wants you to walk them through something, just have them call you up!
Thanks for watching!
