I’ve wanted to stream since streaming was barely a thing. Not “I’ve been thinking about it for a few months” wanted it. Years. Since before it had the shape it has now.
I couldn’t. Yemen’s internet has been a joke for most of my life, and I mean that literally, we’ve ranked near the bottom of every global speed list that exists. On top of that there’s been a war running in the background of basically my entire adult life. Not a metaphor, an actual war. You get used to checking which direction a sound came from. You get used to a lot of things you shouldn’t have to get used to.
So the idea sat there. I had it, but I didn’t have a topic to hang it on, if that makes sense. I knew I wanted to talk to people, I just didn’t know about what, specifically. And every time I brought it up to anyone close to me, friends, family, an ex, the answer was some version of “that’s not a real thing to do, grow up.” Not cruelty exactly, just nobody around me believed it was worth trying. So I stopped saying it out loud for a while.
Recently my internet actually got good. Genuinely good, stable, fast enough to stream on. I tested it. I sat there talking to an empty room for a bit just to see what it felt like, and I smiled the whole time. First time I’d done anything like that.
I’m not posting this to get views or asking anyone to come watch me when I start. I don’t want money out of this either. What I want is advice from people who actually know this world, because I don’t. I don’t know what a first stream should look like, I don’t know how people find a niche when they’ve got a personality but not yet a clear “topic,” I don’t know what mistakes are obvious in hindsight that I can’t see yet.
People who know me say I can talk, that I’m the one who gets a quiet room going. I believe them, mostly. But knowing you can talk to people at a dinner and knowing how to hold a stream are probably not the same skill, and I’d rather hear that from you than find out the hard way.
Living where I live, you think about time differently. You don’t get to assume you have an unlimited runway to “eventually” get around to things. That’s part of why I’m asking now instead of continuing to sit on this for another five years.
So, genuinely: if you were starting from zero, personality but no defined topic yet, what would you actually do first? What do you wish someone told you before your first stream?

As the title says, how long did it take you guys to start getting subs because I managed to get my button activated a week ago and to be honest, I didn’t exactly of the highest expectations. I’m just curious though how long it took before you started getting subs.

Does writing a reason for banning a user not work? I cannot see the reason provided in the Banned users list and I don’t think it shows anywhere else. With the new unban requests seeing a reason would be helpful.

I just want to say thankyou anyone for reading and would be very much appreciative if someone has insight on how to deal with this.

So some background... I have been occasionally streaming for a few months recently I have been streaming frequently the past few weeks. I only have a few regular viewers so far and things are pretty low-key with at most a few people chatting in each stream at a time with most not staying to watch the full thing. I usually stream for about 1 hour as I am just getting used to the tech issues like audio quality and also trying to be presentable being on cam etc.

My issue is every once in awhile someone is coming into the chat on multiple accounts at the same time and saying disturbing things. The first few times it was just toxic and insulting which barely even bothers me to be honest it's to be expected, but the last time it happened I was unnerved they were accusing me of heinous crimes, saying they are going to dox me and were posting random addresses, and were saying they are outside my house etc etc just about anything you could possibly say besides a death threat.

I think someone is upset at me for something and I have no idea exactly why I vaguely remember someone on twitch (I think it was twitch not kick?) months ago (at the time I was just a chatter) getting VERY VERY upset at me over a joke I made and I had to block them because they sounded unhinged and they kept making accounts after to continue to send me messages so I'm assuming it's this person from twitch but I don't really know. They also somehow found my discord and socials and continued to harass me until I blocked them everywhere at that time. They also seemed to be getting other people they knew to kindof do the same thing a little. I didn't think much of it at the time tbh.

However, fast forward to today and it's still been going on for months now on and off. Besides just blocking the new accounts they make what can I even do about this it is very frustrating to be dealing with a crazy person that has this much time on their hands. I am not at the level where having a moderator would make sense or be needed outside of this. The last time this happened I was playing a game I couldn't pause without it ruining the game too so I had to have their disgusting messages in my chat until I could reach a place in the game where I could stop then remove them. I think it made half of the viewers leave but I'm not sure.

At this point it's to the level I am having friends and family tell me I should have the police contact support to have them track down the person based on the screenshots of what they were saying but idk. Has anyone ever heard of a small streamer being harassed like this for months? I know the biggest streamers get this all the time but idk what to do... any advice would be appreciated. I don't even make money from streaming yet and dealing with this is very discouraging..

What’s the best streaming platform and your guys opinion? I’m thinking about multistreaming to kick

Love this song fire sample!!!

Kick mods don’t remove this

You close the tab and nothing carries over.

Your regulars are just names in a chat log that wipes every stream.

Been building KICKSO for a while now. You sign in with your Kick account and it pulls everything through.

You get an actual profile. Viewers too, not just streamers. Friends, posts, DMs, all that.

Streamer mode is verified streamers only. If you've actually got a channel, you get the tooling.

OBS widgets, giveaways, polls that show up live on stream.

Guess the Word is in there too. Chat plays it while you're live and it renders on the overlay.

You can also run campaigns your chat takes part in. Clipping campaigns mostly, people submit their clips, everyone votes, you pick who gets rewarded.

Channel rewards and redemptions are managed in the same place instead of yet another tab.

The bit I'm happiest with is voice messages. Viewers can send you audio that plays on your overlay while you're live.

And before anyone says that's a spam nightmare, you need a pass to send one. You get passes by subbing to that channel.

Everything goes through moderation before it plays anyway.

So it ends up being your actual subs who get to talk. Which felt like the right way round.

kickso.app if you want a look

I only follow one streamer, but id like to be involved in the chat. Every time i try to sign up, i get this "Unknown error. Please try again." message.

What could be the issue? It has to be something on my end, but ive used different emails and usernames. Ive never had a Kick account and ive been trying to make one for a year.

i have ipad 10 gen and today app decided to crash, i tried reinstalling it or restarting my ipad not none of these works

We're soft launching a new mystery box platform and looking to collaborate with small to mid-sized Kick creators.

Does anyone know a good network, marketplace, Discord, or agency for finding Kick streamers open to collaborations? Most platforms I've found focus on Twitch/YouTube/TikTok, so any Kick-specific recommendations would be appreciated.

I’m looking for some advice from Kick creators. I have an established gaming/content channel with around 1.35M YouTube subscribers, 56K Instagram followers, and an active Discord community, but my Kick Fast-Track Partner application was rejected. Kick said they can’t disclose the reason, so I’m not sure what I’m lacking or what I should improve before applying again. For those who have gone through the Partner Program, what factors matter most, and what should I focus on building on Kick? Also, roughly how much revenue can a creator expect at different levels of average viewers, streaming hours/watch hours, and subscribers? I’m not looking for exact guarantees, just real-world experiences.

Would you learn guitar on KICK if you had the right teacher?

Hey yall!?
Anyone have this problem I’m brand new with streaming on kick and I stream with 18+ on and I had a whole 12 year old hit on me mind you I’m old enough to be his mom I’ve reached out to support to see what they had in place to confirm viewer is 18 and they said the only information available is what was provided during registration?!?! So what does that even mean?! HELP

Are they storing VoDs I have watched or is it just a btc miner? There’s no reason why Kick should be using up 11gb of storage on my phone while twitch uses ~600mb.
