Recording matches and/or live streaming

Basically I'd like to know if its allowed. My team has a lot of a/v guys that record our practices to help us out. We also do comedic videos just for fun. I did a brief look on the forums and didnt see anything. Rules dont say anything.

If it is allowed, I suppose I would assume that its only allowable if the other team agrees that its okay? I dont think it would be classified as a cheat. Say live stream being an extra eye if someone were watching. But I wanted to get a good solid answer before I okay'd my team to do so..

Thanks

Why would it be against the rules?

It is allowed to stream and record your matches. By all means.

You can not bring someone into the server without approval from the other team and record if that is what you are asking though.

Nope, its one or more of our teammates who are in game playing. We just wanted to make sure so that way we couldnt be accused of cheating. Thank you.

Does Wegame work with BF3?

Easiest way to stream would probably be XSplit to twitch.tv, with dxtory capturing. I hope you have a powerhouse computer though, cause the encoding is a bitch on the CPU for any reasonable resolution. And you need a damn good upload to stream that good resolution and still manage to get a good server connection.

There are a lot of factors, get ready to experiment, A LOT. I did it for about a month before I found solid, consistent settings.

If you're concerned about people watching, you can probably set a delay for your stream. Just your regular lag is already going to delay it 5-10 seconds.

Yeah we have people that know there stuff, do it for a living. I imagine that there will be a delay. We havent really decided whether or not we are going to record and upload or if we were going to live stream yet.
