This is a super useful-looking and crazily exhaustive tutorial for streaming/recording Second Life in Steam from Ai Austin. The record function should be great for recording Let's Play-style Second Life videos (and I'd love to see more of those, as long as they're not yet more lame troll vids), and the stream feature lets you squirt your Second Life experience to another display -- like so:
The watcher was on a Microsoft Surface under Windows 8.1 using Internet Explorer 11 and saw the 720p broadcast very smoothly, subjectively as smooth as it appeared in the main Second Life viewer. There was approximately a 7 or 8 second delay from action on the Second Life Viewer and it being seen by the watcher, which is better than we previously achieved using an Apple Mac Media Server Quicktime Steaming Service (QTSS) Broadcaster where delays of 10 to 15 seconds between broadcast and receiver are typical.
Everyone go over and read the whole thing. Comes with advice to Valve for improving this experience, so you too, Gabe Newell.
