Half of those clients don't even render the nostr event
Discussion
Exactly. And when I start a zap.stream livestream I still have to manually cross-post it to most other clients because they don’t pick it up. I think Nostur detects it and shows it in the top of the app.
Well, you could get the vanity url for your channel from snort. Like zap.stream/npub. That will fix broken links in broken clients and your stream link remains always the same instead of having to share the new nostr event each time. Mine is zap.stream/thegrinder.
good suggestions.
The other thing that I should add is that there really aren’t any usable metrics available on zap.stream.
As a publisher, this is really important. If I can't see the total view count, average time spent watching, and other important details, I can't measure our results and use that to build on.
When I go back to see the stream after it's finished it doesn't really show me very much info I can use. This is not remotely professional level software yet.
Agreed. These are very important.
I actually forgot about that. We have this one but I think it doesn’t display the actual stream details in the clients that can render it. Will keep in mind for next time!
Oh, it’s this one actually…
You mean title and cover image for the current stream? Yeah, it doesn't.
I usually just share the nostr event on my timeline (rather than the http link) and that embeds fine in most clients. The http link breaks to much in "some" clients and I don't see why I should drop an HTTP website link for a nostr event. If you drop a nostr event it should natively embed in ANY app.
Yeah, I didn’t know how well that would work. Let’s see what happens.

So on Damus the link doesn’t work at all.
maybe could have an alt tag so we could at least do https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/31.md
It’s implemented pretty well in Nostur. Not perfectly, but you can at least see all the content.
exactly, they can barely get those working well, why expand?
