Overwhelmed streamers should definitely take a bit of time to check out SAMMI to see how it can help improve their stream. Billed as a digital stream deck, SAMMI allows streamers to customize and automate a ton of different stream actions.
What is SAMMI?
Formerly known as Lioranboard, SAMMI is an amazing digital tool that can be used to increase interactivity between your stream and your audience. Great streamers realize the value of interacting with chat. SAMMI bottles that value into a free digital package that connects to OBS (broadcasting software) and enables a ton of actions. Camera changes, various alerts, and more are soon to be at the fingertips of the streamer, the moderator, and even chat.
What can SAMMI do?
As discussed above, SAMMI is a digital stream deck. Simply put, it allows you to create and customize various ‘macros’ or simple buttons that instantly perform more complex actions. These buttons can be programmed to execute tasks in OBS that appear on stream.
Of course, making ‘macros’ for you to more easily control your stream is just the tip of the iceberg. SAMMI has the ability to give your audience limited control of your stream as well. It allows for the audience to ‘interact’ with others in chat, play chat games, initiate audio and overlay alerts on the stream, change stream scenes, and even connect to other services like Spotify, Discord, Patreon, and others.
Since it is a free and somewhat open source application, there are many talented programmers who constantly build and share extensions, commands, triggers, and other tricks. There is even a way to put the service on an Android device.
As a result of its ability to customize a ton of different things, there is and will be a ton of updates that have preset actions that interact with OBS and Twitch. Basic functionality actions like playing or muting a scene, playing an audio file, playing a video, opening a webpage, or using certain scene transitions are presets that the software builds on. These actions and more will allow you to create increasingly unique effects, moments, and interactions that can be tied to a button, a chat command, or a wide number of other things.
The company’s community is thriving and building as the functionality of it grows as well. With tons of Youtube video tutorials and Discord channel how-to’s, SAMMI has a wealth of help for new and experienced users.
SAMMI is without a doubt a valuable resource for streamers looking to upgrade their stream. Check out the download and setup guide.
