Streaming guide
You’re free to use LoreMania (ご当地マニア検定) in live streams, commentary, and uploaded videos — monetization welcome. This page exists to remove any “is it OK to stream this?” worry (no account needed).
The short answer
- Live streaming, recording, video uploads, monetization, and using the screen in clips and thumbnails — all OK.
- Any quiz marked “Streaming OK” can be streamed as-is.
The Web edition is fine too (streaming mode recommended)
You may stream the Web edition (just open it in a browser) as-is. That said, for streaming we recommend the installed “streaming mode” (not required).
- No ads (the Web edition shows ads; streaming mode is an ad-free, clean screen).
- Less likely to stall (data is stored on your device, so it’s resilient to hiccups and load during a live stream).
- 16:9, transparent background, extra-large fonts, keyboard control — easy to drop straight onto your stream.
Installing is just “Add to home screen / desktop” in your browser — no app store needed. Point viewers to the Web edition URL (only you, the streamer, install it).
Audio (rights-clean)
- All music and sound effects are original (commercial use OK), or CC0 / public domain / self-made.
- None are registered with Content ID, so you won’t get stream mutes or copyright claims.
- If you prefer, you’re free to turn BGM off, adjust the volume, or swap in your own music.
Images
On-screen images and assets are original or rights-clean only, and contain no real-world IP, characters, logos, or people. You can show the screen as-is with confidence.
Ads
The Web edition shows ads on screen, and it’s fine to have them visible on your stream. The streaming mode (installed edition) is an ad-free, clean screen.
What you can and can’t stream
Quizzes you may stream carry a “Streaming OK” mark; marked quizzes are free to stream. If a future asset or quiz is restricted for rights reasons, we’ll state it on that quiz/page (for anything without the mark, follow what that page says). Every quiz currently published is Streaming OK.
Requests / not allowed
Requests (optional)
- Leaving the discreet URL / hashtag at the edge of the screen helps viewers find their way back.
- When mentioning it, please describe it like “… kentei practice / prep.”
Not allowed
- Wording that implies “official” or “endorsed by / partnered with … kentei,” i.e. confusion with a real exam body.
- Spreading misinformation by altering the screen, or faking sources.
- Systematically reproducing quiz content to build a substitute for this service.
Quick setup (OBS)
- Add a Browser source at 1920×1080. Turn off “Shut down source when not visible” (keeps the preload so it won’t stall).
- For a transparent background use
body { background: transparent }, or the solid-color (chroma key) mode in settings. - Controls: number keys 1–4 = select / Enter = submit / Space = next / Esc = menu.
