Please be available and ready to commentate around 15 minutes before the next category is about to start. As soon as the first team finishes the current category, the commentators for the next category will be swapped out by an admin. Before the run you are scheduled to commentate, you will enter the "waiting-room" voice channel. When you are in the waiting-room, you need to be prepared to start your commentary. Keep your mic muted until you've been pulled into the "live-commentary" channel.

To view the rtmp channel that you will be commentating from, use the following link https://rtmp.speedga.me/? and following the ? you will add the corresponding stream keys for whomever is running. this is an example rtmp link that the marathon will start with:
https://rtmp.speedga.me/?team1,team2,team3,team4,team5

Use the corresponding keys for each player as outlined in foosda's pastebin below:

Once you are ready to commentate, you can bring up the rtmp to begin viewing. Once the first team has finished the category you are commentating for, an admin will swap you out with the next run's commentators. At this time, the new commentators with bring up their rtmp with the corresponding keys.

For example, nightwolf and straevaras will begin commentating the GT Classic run with the rtmp link: https://rtmp.speedga.me/?team1,team2,team3,team4,team5 For instance, if team 3 finished first, the link would change to: https://rtmp.speedga.me/?team1,team2,team33,team4,team5

As each player from the subsequent teams finish, the new commentators, sephylon and enmet, will change the keys for that team as they finish so they can update to the new runner of that team who will be running 100% Item Collection. If team 2 were to finish next, the link would look like: https://rtmp.speedga.me/?team1,team22,team33,team4,team5 etc. eventually, the 100% Item commentators would be using a link like: https://rtmp.speedga.me/?team11,team22,team33,team44,team55

As a last note, please refrain from any inappropriate commentary:

1) Keep your commentary professional. Ensure to keep your topics on the relay and players. While occasional interaction with chat can be a good thing, do not spend a majority of your focus on interacting with chat or have full blown conversations/arguments with chat.
2) Always commentate for the runners in a positive light. While commentating on a runner's misfortune due to RNG or a missed trick that will cost him/her time, do not play down their skill regardless of any apparent skill gap between the racers.
4) Please ensure that your audio sounds reasonable.  We don't expect a professional sound setup, but we also don't want commentators sounding like they're speaking through a tin can.
