Tipping and donations taken to the next level
The essence of ZBD Streamer is in equipping you with the ability to to collect interactive tips in real money, of any size, live on stream and without huge platform cuts. Let’s break down what we mean by all that.
With ZBD Streamer, the audience can donate Bitcoin directly to you while watching your stream simply by scanning your Streamer QR code. The transaction is done instantly and can trigger a fully customizable response to be seen by everyone on stream. Any kind of donations are viable: big, small, even split to multiple recipients (for streams with multiple hosts), and all of that money will go directly to you. This is thanks to ZBD's innovative tech that gives you powerful options for moving Bitcoin quickly and easily.
Setting up ZBD Streamer
To start using ZBD Streamer, simply open up this webpage and scan the QR code with your ZBD app. Once in, you’ll be able to adjust several different settings related to both the tips and the overlay features of the Streamer. First, let’s take a look at what you can set up when it comes to the tips.
- Create your static QR code: Fully customizable, but always the same
Your wallet address in a friendly, scannable form. It always leads to your wallet, but can be customized with various donation settings, as well as color themes and embedded images. - Adjust tip settings: Set minimum and maximum tip amount
Whether it’s a hefty sum or a fraction of a cent, every size of donation is possible with ZBD Streamer. Control it with this simple setting. - HOT 🔥 Splits: Divide incoming tips between multiple people
Split incoming payments between more than one recipient. Share 50% of tips with a co-host, if you’ve got one, divide your profits between multiple wallets or donate a part of your income to a good cause… The possibilities are endless.
🎨 Did you know?
Your QR code is static, meaning it will always connect to your wallet, but you can still pimp it out with custom color schemes!
No platform cuts – You keep the whole tip
With ZBD Streamer, you can make sure that when your fans want to show some appreciation for your work, all of their tips land directly in your wallet. ZBD takes no cut or charges you fees. If someone donates from a Lightning wallet outside ZBD, they’ll only have to pay the Lightning Network fee, which is usually less than a tenth of a USD cent.
Platforms are also getting increasingly ridiculous when it gets to demonetizing content, so much so that if you just happen to mention a word that the advertisers don’t want to be associated with, you risk losing your income. With ZBD Streamer, you don’t need to resort to relying on Twitch or YouTube payouts or using a third-party service like Patreon to fund your streams – you can start gathering donations from your followers without a middleman!
Tips in Bitcoin: An advantage or a drawback?
In the world of Internet money, Bitcoin is king. Using Bitcoin for live tips is a major advantage, since the tech we’ve developed allows anyone to move it anywhere around the world way faster and more cheaply than regular money. It’s super easy for anyone to get their hands on it by playing rewarded games that pay out Bitcoin for free, or, if you’re looking for more, simply make a ZBD Top Up and you’re good to go.
If you’re familiar with our company and products, you probably already know we’ve built our payments tech on the Lightning Network – and there’s tons we could say about it, and we have – but the great thing is you really don’t have to worry about anything that’s going on under the hood. We’ve made it so that you need no knowledge of Bitcoin or the Lightning Network. Simply sit back, relax and let the money flow.
And you don’t have to exchange Bitcoin for another currency to be able to spend it – that’s as much a myth as it is a thing of the past. You can use it directly in ZBD to shop among thousands of gift card options for popular services like Amazon, Netflix and much more. Check it out for yourself.
Supercharge your streams for free
All this comes for free. No purchasing, and we charge no subscriptions or fees. Why? Because we can, and because using a currency that is native to the Internet and gaming in streaming too is just super awesome. Try it out for yourself and launch your streams into the stratosphere with ZBD.
