Stream hosting!!

Hello everyone!! Uhmmm good to see you 🥺I'm looking forward to this week and my first stream! >~<

But, there is something I haven't quite figured out yet...and that is how to host it

I came into this thinking I could just use Youtube unlisted streams, but thinking about it more, it seems a bit risky. Would I be breaking Youtube TOS directly? Maybe...which means that no matter how careful I am about things, it is possible for that account (a new one, ofc) that I'd be streaming on to get banned. Which would in turn put my main accounts at risk - and the whole reason I moved here was so that I wouldn't have to risk my Youtube channels! :c

Now, I can try to minimize this risk as much as possible; for example, deleting the youtube stream immediately after it ends. Maybe you all would have other tips on this too, but I think Youtube would be able to know it's me just based off of my IP and stuff.

There are some other options that would allow me complete seperation - from what I've looked into, there's like two other possibilities:

Crowdcast: I would have to pay for this, but it should be secure
Twitcast: I think this is free, and I'd be able to make unlisted streams there

I don't know much about these platforms, so any insight you could give me on them would be appreciated! Would my content be allowed there? Is there any hassle for the users? Can it support the amount of users that would be there?

Ogey thank yoouuu :3
