AOD Streaming Guidelines

These guidelines are intended to help AOD members portray their community positively and consistently while broadcasting game play using Twitch, Youtube, Mixer or any other method. In response to numerous requests for clarification, here are a few simply principles to follow without over-complicating the matter.

Each division should draw from this baseline and add anything additional that caters to that specific division’s broadcasting needs, constraints, and benefit opportunities.

• When playing under the banner of AOD, such as using any of the AOD brand assets like logos or web addresses, in a live broadcast, the COC should be upheld at all times. AOD members playing AOD games follow AOD principles. AOD members that are streaming "blue" without affiliation to our community or outside of our supported games are still advised to uphold the COC as AOD members often follow each other and representation, while not overt, is still likely.
• No solicitation for funds for any purpose should be made to AOD members in conjunction with a personal broadcast. A member is not to request donations, monetary subscriptions or any other form of payment from members of Clan AOD. In short, members may not utilize our community for their individual profit or benefit. Encouraging audience-building follows that do not involve money during a stream (not through AOD forums or messaging) is certainly acceptable.
• Full courtesy should be given to AOD members while streaming - be in the appropriate rooms and channels (based on division guidelines) so that it is obvious to other members that you are live. No member should find out after the fact, or be surprised, that their personal conversation is being broadcast. Similarly, give full courtesy to broadcasting members - do not be obnoxious or disruptive when entering streaming channels or channels where a member indicates they are “live.”
• If using AOD brand assets (logos, etc), do not alter them. While it is perfectly fine to display the logo in it’s unaltered form, our community strives to maintain consistency of its brand and AOD members are key to this endeavor. Ask a MSgt+ for access to brand assets and consult them before any alterations.

These guidelines should keep our members operating uniformly while broadcasting. Best of luck on your next broadcast.

In addition to the AOD Streaming Guidelines, the Call of Duty Division Streaming Guidelines are as follows;

• Maintain the AOD Code of Conduct at all times

​If in teamspeak:

• Inform everyone in the TeamSpeak channel that you would like to start streaming (If a member does not agree to the request, do NOT stream in that channel)
• Change the end of your name in Teamspeak to indicate you are live. [LIVE]
• Do Not show TeamSpeak on stream.

If in discord:

• When streaming to either external services (Twitch, Kick, Facebook?) or locally in Discord*, you must notify members of the channel that you plan to go live or that your stream is active.
  
  • This is due to the clipping feature (Currently only available through Discord Nitro). By default, it does capture what is happening in chat.
    
    • There is an option for members to opt out of having their voice in clips. If they are comfortable being in channel as long as their voice isn't in any clips you can tell them how to turn that off. Otherwise, you need to work out which one of you are to leave the channel
      
      • To Turn off your voice in clips Go to User Settings> Clips > and then toggle "Allow my voice to be recorded in Clips" off
  
  
• Do not showcase the Discord Application (members names, channels, or direct messages with members)
• Do not spam your twitch link to AOD members (Discord, Forums, TeamSpeak, or Private messages)

Thank you for following the AOD and COD Streaming Guidelines.
Good luck on your next Stream!
