You only do this once. From here it's just switching on and off.
~/Videos/DigiStream/live.m3u8 Download one file and double-click it. It does everything for you.
Everything happens in one folder. Your broadcasting software writes the live stream into it, recordings land in it, and your channel details sit in it. Publish that folder and you're on DigiStream. Nothing is uploaded to us — there is no "us" to upload to.

It's what almost every streamer uses, and it's the only other thing you need. You set it up once.
Every stream you finish is saved here automatically as one video file in your channel folder. You decide what viewers can see — and what stops existing.
How going live actually works, what you end up with, and what to check when something doesn't look right.
You don't do anything for this. Recording is the stream — the video OBS writes while you're live stays in your folder when you stop. Nothing uploads, nothing processes, nothing to wait for.
