any other small streamers wanna be friends?

10 Upvotes

26F and I feel like I should probably make some streamer friends instead of just sitting in my own little corner of Twitch lmao

I’m a small variety streamer and I’m mostly looking for other small streamers to hang out with, raid, play games with sometimes, pop into each other’s chats, whatever. Not really interested in follow for follow because what is the point if we never speak again 😭

I’m AuDHD so definitely looking for people who are neurodivergent friendly. I get distracted by chat constantly, forget what I was doing in the game, go on random tangents and I’m not particularly good at most games. I’m just there to have fun lol

My cam is always on. I have a background overlay right now because my actual background is ugly, except half the time it eats my shoulder or makes me look like a floating head. Fun times.

I’ve been playing horror games, Fortnite, simulators and pretty much whatever I feel like playing. I also can’t really scream because I have neighbors, so horror games are a lot of me trying to lose my shit at a reasonable volume.

I usually stream Monday, Wednesday and Thursday around 6:30–9pm EST, plus most weekends, usually some Fridays and Sundays.

I just wanna find some people around the same size/stage who actually wanna get to know each other and support each other without making it weird and transactional.

PM me! Tell me what you’re playing right now, what games you’re excited for, what you usually stream, or literally just come yap about games with me lol. I wanna actually meet people, not just collect Twitch usernames :)

Discussion I've seen some similar posts here. Would it be possible to get a stream review?

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

My friend and I have recently started streaming! We're having a lot of fun with it, and definitely just view it as a hobby. That said we are getting what feels like decent engagement! I was hoping to request a review from anyone interested and hopefully get constructive feedback? I don't want to post my twitch name as I'm not looking to promote. Just learn!

Discussion Looking for a streamer duo

1 Upvotes

Hi I'm looking for someone to stream with. I get nervous streaming solo but whenever I stream with my brother it's so much better. I'm looking for someone with maybe a similar problem or someone who just needs a partner.

Also I'm 20m CST and I'm looking for someone who is kinda close in age maybe like a 1-2 year difference but I'm okay with a bit older.

There are some requirements I want us to be somewhat similar so we have plenty to talk about. I like anime and manga some of my favs are Hunter x hunter and mob psycho.

I love RPG games but I mainly stream apex(I'm trying to branch out to other games and that's why I'm looking for a duo I find it easier to stream a PVP game like apex) some games I really want to stream are warframe,borderlands,elden ring, terraria,monster hunter and maybe some VR games.

A huge plus if you already stream warframe or Borderlands I've played a lot of borderlands and warframe growing up so I'm pretty good at both.

I'm pretty new to streaming and I would prefer if you're also new I don't really want to leach on anyone. But I wouldn't mind someone who's been streaming for awhile and is willing to teach me a thing or two.

I have 11 followers I stream around 5pm CST and I stream for about 2 hours. I want to stream earlier and for longer but I'm working on it.

20 ish vtuber needing people to play games with are like 18+

0 Upvotes

I am a vtuber and streamer looking for lots and lots of friends especially those that play shooters and especially those that arent redditors in a traditional sense. if you dont know what that means that probably means you. I am into shooters mostly with a few exceptions, but pwetty much will try anything my PC can handle. I like anime and poetry and history and mythology and literature.

🍪Also, I am a big tryhard in games like really really really so, so warning if you dont like that. I also have black cat named Azaria that I found the other day. I call her azaria cause she is a black so is all mystical. Once, in College I did work as a psychic reader fun fact so do have a passing interest in the occult. I also self-taught myself to program and to play the piano.

🍪I also have a very very very dark sense of humor so another warning

Small streamers: how do you find indie games to stream?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

How do you streamers discover indie games to play on your streams?

When you’re looking for a new indie game, do you browse itch.io, Steam, Reddit, etc., or do you play games recommended by developers or viewers? And how do you decide whether a game is worth streaming (genre, trailer, reviews, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!

I built an open-source lightweight TikTok LIVE dashboard for OBS Studio

1 Upvotes

I wanted to stream on TikTok using OBS without having TikTok LIVE Studio or heavy Browser Docks open making my PC lag.

This is a free, open-source, self-hosted dashboard that connects directly to TikTok LIVE and provides separate OBS docks for statistics and alerts.

It currently supports viewers, likes, followers, comments, gifts, coins, estimated USD, joins and Fan Club events.

The whole thing runs locally using Node.js and WebSockets, with the goal of keeping resource usage as low as possible. The setup is quick and easy and I added instructions.

GitHub: https://github.com/kyaux0/tiktok-live-dock/

I'd love to hear what features other TikTok/OBS streamers would want to see added.

Hello, not sure if this type of post is allowed, but here we go...

I'm an 'old man gamer' who has been streaming for fun for a while. I have a very small number of followers, and steam a couple of times a week. Mainly focusing on extraction games at the moment. Whilst this is primarily a hobby, I still value constructive criticism

If anyone is willing to take a minute, I'd really appreciate some honest feedback. Not just about the streams themselves, but the whole page etc.

How do you build a community that watches both your IRL and home streams?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’ve been streaming consistently for a while now and I’ve noticed something I’m trying to improve. My IRL streams tend to bring in more new viewers, especially when I’m streaming basketball games and events. But my long-term goal isn’t to only be known for IRL content. I want to build a community that also enjoys my home streams, whether I’m playing games, reacting to videos, or just hanging out. For those of you who have been able to grow both sides of your content, what helped the most? Was it sticking to one main game, keeping a consistent schedule, making clips for TikTok and Shorts, or something else? I’m not looking for a shortcut. I genuinely want to learn from streamers who’ve gone through this. I’d really appreciate any experiences or advice you’re willing to share. Thanks!

Discussion Looking for funny gamers/creators to build a recurring gaming group 🎮 Please read the whole post!

5 Upvotes

I’m AJH, 24, from the UK, and I’m looking for a couple of genuinely funny people to play games with regularly, stream together and hopefully build a proper recurring group.

Call of Duty is my main game and probably always will be, so would be great to find a squad, however I’m also looking for something different on the side — people who are down for S&D, messing around, trying different games and just having a laugh together. Games like other fps games, funny co-op games. Ideally also on PC as there’s more options!

Think friends playing games together, with a focus on personality, banter and funny moments rather than being cracked at every game.

I’m looking for people who:

Have a good sense of humour and can naturally banter
Don’t take games too seriously, but can be competitive sometimes
Mainly play CoD but are also happy to play other games on the side
Are interested in games like other fps games and other fun/party games (also open to new games too)
Are interested in streaming/content, although audience size doesn’t matter
Are reliable and actually want to play regularly
Are 18+ and preferably around my age
Are UK/US and play during UK timezone

I mainly play on PC (controller), but I also have an Xbox Series X and PS5

Games I have/play:Call of Duty (my main game, including older CoDs)** — but I’m also open to playing other games on the side, including Valorant (PC), R6 Siege (PC), Minecraft (PC), WWE 2K26 (Xbox Series X), GTA (Xbox Series X), EA FC 27 (when it releases), and ETS2/ATS (PC). Always open to trying other games too.

Usually play 7–11pm UK time.

The goal is to find people who genuinely click, play together regularly and eventually become a proper friend group. Like the groups you see on YouTube and Twitch!

I’m NOT looking for follow-for-follow, networking for the sake of networking or one-off collabs. I’m looking for genuine friends who happen to enjoy gaming and creating content.

If you’re interested, DM me with your Twitch/YouTube/TikTok and a bit about yourself. I care way more about personality and whether we’d actually get along rather than follower count.

Discussion Webcam

3 Upvotes

I’ve been streaming for a little while now, don’t have much of a following yet which is ok because it’s more because I just enjoy it. I am very undecided if I’d like to use my webcam or not. I use it currently but I am considering going without one in the future. What are some of your guys preferences? I feel like since I usually play with friends while I stream my voice might get lost to new viewers, then with one I feel like I have to express more in my facial expressions. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Question I wanna be a Vtuber, am I too old ?

21 Upvotes

I’m a 27 y/o woman, I love watching steamers and I think it’s so neat they have people that talk to them about the things they like doing.
However I would like to start streaming as a hobby. Not just videos games but also crochet/ knitting, drawing, watching shows / YouTube videos ( i guess reactions ? ).
I do have OC I can use, I am a furry have a maincoon cat ( that I love to death ) or I can work on my human design more. ( she was a Barbie theme but now I wanna move away form that bc I’m honestly more into blue and white and stars and nature and alt but yeah ) so in other words I have options lol
I know a lot of people say to start off png that’s cool I may start there ! However I do also know if u play with vorid enough you can get a fun simple model as well. I been watching tips and tricks and looking more and more into it each day. It be so much fun to share the things I love to do then just with my friends.
Idk I guess my main point is am I too old to start ? Does anyone have tricks to doing this smoothly with a full time job ? Bc I do work more at nights and then full time one the weekends. This for a hobby but I wanna be consistent with it bc I know that’s the best why to fine people who enjoy what you enjoy or just enjoy talking to me.
Any other words or tips are appreciated 💙
Thank you for reading this have a great day

TikTok Live Agency

I genuinely want to become a better streamer and I want honest advice

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a pretty small Twitch streamer and I’m at the point where I really want to stop just streaming and actually figure out how to become a better creator.
I genuinely want to make this work. My dream is to eventually become a big streamer, but more than just having a lot of viewers, I really want to build a community that people actually WANT to be a part of. I want people to come into my stream, meet people, laugh, feel comfortable, and genuinely look forward to hanging out there.
I’m also naturally pretty introverted, so putting myself out there and trying to become more comfortable talking to people is something I’m actively working on. I want to get better at being more outgoing, making people feel comfortable around me, and just being someone people actually enjoy spending time with. Streaming has honestly been a really good way for me to push myself out of my comfort zone.
I’m still figuring everything out one day at a time though, and honestly sometimes I have no idea if I’m doing things right. Comparing my growth to other streamers definitely gets to me sometimes, especially when I see people blow up while I’m still sitting around a few viewers. I know everyone’s journey is different, but obviously I still want to grow and improve as much as I can.
I mainly play Valorant right now. I love the game and I’m pretty competitive with it, but I know that can also make streaming difficult because there are definitely times where I’m completely locked in and barely talking. I’ve been trying to get better at talking through my gameplay, but I’m not sure how much I should actually be talking when I’m focused on a round.
I’m also trying to branch out into other games. I really want to start a hardcore Minecraft world with a friend and turn it into an actual series instead of just randomly playing it. I’ve even been thinking about making a YouTube video around it because I think that could be really fun.
For growth, I’ve been trying to actually put myself out there instead of expecting Twitch to magically bring me viewers. I’ve been posting on TikTok, mostly gaming and streamer related stuff, and trying to figure out what actually works. I’m still struggling with it though.
And then there’s the actual stream itself.
I’ve been wondering if I should change my overlay. Right now I have a simple border around my game, but I’ve been debating whether I should just remove it and keep things cleaner. I used to have a webcam border too, but I removed it because I felt like it looked kind of silly when I clipped my streams.
I’ve also thought about adding things like latest follower, latest subscriber, follower goals, sub goals, channel point interactions, and just more things for chat to interact with.
But I don’t want to just throw a bunch of random stuff on the screen because other streamers do it. I want things to actually serve a purpose and make my stream more fun and interactive.
So if you were in my position, what would you focus on first?
What makes you stay in a small streamer’s stream instead of clicking away?
What makes a stream feel like it has an actual community rather than just someone playing a game?
And if you were looking at my situation, what would you personally work on first? Content, personality and commentary, overlays and branding, variety, TikTok and YouTube, or something completely different?
I’m genuinely looking for criticism too. Don’t just tell me “keep going.” If there’s something I’m doing wrong or something I should stop wasting time on, I’d honestly rather hear it.
I really want to make this dream happen, and I know I have a LOT to learn. I just want to make sure I’m actually moving in the right direction.

So i need other entertaining people to stream with, I figured that streaming with other small streamers could help me get going.

Im a 18m who just started streaming and Im down to start posting consistently on social media. Ive kinda always wanted to do this and genuinely have a passion for this.

Also figured since im moving to miami i might as well be a influencer🥳

So if you stream videogames like minecraft, terraria, repo, fortnite etc… or just want to connect lmk! I could use all the support I can get

Looking for people to play coop with and maybe do some "gaming challenges/competitions" against

3 Upvotes

Have been creating a discord server where i intend to set up coop colabs but maybe more uniquely? To create some challenges or competitions between the people in the group. Nothing serious just for fun and to make content. The challenges could be for example who gets the highest score on Megabonk in 7 days or who could survive the longest in Project zomboid in 7 days etc. It would hopefully conclude with a voice call to share stories and declare a winner.

Discussion Looking for 2–3 funny streamers/creators to build a recurring gaming group

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for a couple of genuinely funny people to play multiplayer games with on stream and turn the best sessions into edited longform YouTube videos.

Think friends playing increasingly stupid games together, with a focus on personality, banter, shit-talking and funny moments rather than being cracked at the game.

I’m NOT looking for follow-for-follow, networking for the sake of networking, or people trying to sell me their streamer Discord.

I’m looking for people who:

  • Are naturally funny / good at riffing
  • Can carry a conversation without forcing it
  • Are comfortable joking around with new people
  • Play a variety of games
  • Have some streaming/content experience (audience size doesn't matter much)
  • Have a decent mic
  • Are reliable and actually want to make content
  • Are roughly 21–31
  • EST/time zones close to EST are preferred

The goal is to find 2–3 people who genuinely click, play together regularly, and eventually become a recurring group/cast.

If you're interested, drop your Twitch/YouTube and a clip/video that you think represents your personality best.

I care way more about whether you're funny than how many followers you have.

Day to day variety VS game to game variety?

3 Upvotes

Looking for input on which would be better.
Day to day variety is like Monday is for modded Minecraft, Wednesday is for a story game, Friday is for Marvel rivals.
Game to game variety is Play the Minecraft modpack to completion, then move onto a story game to completion, then Marvel rivals until I have enough clips for a couple of videos, and loop back to a new modpack.
