FAQs:

If Blast Radio captures audio only, what visual shows up on YouTube / Twitch?

When you syndicate to Twitch and/or YouTube, we auto generate a video thumbnail featuring your Blast Radio profile picture and encouraging viewers to download the Blast Radio app and follow you. 

Here is what the visual will look like: 

Can I edit the video thumbnail? 

You can’t adjust the format of the thumbnail, but you can always change your Blast Radio profile picture to have a different one show up when streaming to YouTube and/or Twitch. 

YouTube has a warning saying my stream is low quality. What gives?

Since we’re only sending an audio stream and a video thumbnail to YouTube, the platform may assume your stream isn’t high enough quality. Don’t stress though, the audio will still sound great for viewers.
