Hey you!
Yeah, you!
Do you like to stream your flights?
Want to gain new followers while showcasing your skill behind the yoke?
How would you like to take part in the single largest simul-stream on VATSIM?
That’s right! On April 24th, the Houston ARTCC is hosting our “Extreme Stream Team Event Theme†where you will be able to stream your flight and be controlled by controllers streaming their ATC software! There will be a “multi-twitch†link set up so one person could view ALL the streams at once! From 0 to 300k followers, everyone is welcome!
(You don’t have to stream if you don’t want to. But you should. It’s pretty fun!)
If you would like your stream showcased on our multi twitch, please submit your twitch link here: https://forms.gle/3qAwnJpuLmDMnn8G9
The link to the multi-twitch will be added here the night of the event.
