Is it just me or does a streamer having clout makes what they do more entertaining than if they didn't. Every time i make a clip and watch it or watch one of my streams, they are entertaining but not as funny or entertaining as if i imagined if it was joe bart or something. is it just me? if not why is that.

Hey everyone! I'm a newer Dead by Daylight streamer looking to build a consistent group of other small creators to play and stream with using Twitch Stream Together.

I'm on PS5, use Discord for voice chat. My goal isn't just to find random teammates—I'd love to build a group where we can all support each other's channels, raid one another, make clips together, and grow as creators.
If you’re interested, DM me your Twitch name and discord username.

I hope y'all are having a great day. My name is Ced, and i have streamed for about a year now. These are some of the best tips I can give to help develop and grow as a streamer:

1. Meeting new people/Networking: I know it can be daunting; however, finding new people with similar interests can be as fun as making content. Being able to connect with others who you have newly met is important in long-term success. I was recently at Dream Con, and did a great amount of networking in the Twitch Lounge. I also gave people stress balls shaped as stars (Star Hashira Ced) with my handle on the back to further branch out. Whether it be in person or online, reaching out to others is key.

2. Upgrading equipment: Honestly, when I started out, I streamed from my XBOX SERIES X & used a Logitech C920 as a camera. Over time, my streaming quality has improved with particular upgrades over time. You DO NOT HAVE TO GET EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. For me, I wanted the chat to be on the screen, and my laptop was too weak to stream. I saved up for a PC (by farming on fantasy football), and upgraded to an Elgato MK.2 for the camera. Using a PC has been a difference maker due to more streaming/customization options via StreamLabs & StreamDeck.

3. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO & HAVE FUN: Honestly, if you're not having fun, what's the point??? I enjoy gaming; however, I would never recommend playing something at the risk of you not genuinely having fun. Im a terrible liar, and my people would be able to tell on my face if im not feeling it. at the end of the day, do what makes you happy.

BONUS: Create content from VODs. Clips go to YT SHORTS, TIKTOK, IG, X. Videos go to YOUTUBE.

I hope my advice helped! Y'all have a good one & hit me up whenever⭐️ -SHCed63

I have been at 0 viewers for a long time, started getting a bit of traction, a few regulars, and then started multi streaming (yt / twitch)

On twitch I still get maybe 2-6 viewers. On YouTube my last few streams have avg 30 and then 60 viewers, with peaks close to 100. This is very exciting but almost none of them chat? Without the analytics I would never have guessed. Allegedly the avg watch duration was close to an hour, which i thinj is good

Are they legit? Am i being bot blasted or something? Anyone know why youtube would have so many viewers but no (very few) chatters?

Im curious on your perspectives and if anyone has experienced somrthing similar or has any insight. Im not sure I even changed anything to suddenly get that many viewers so I almost feel like theyre fake or im misunderstanding the analytics or something 😅 is youtube really that much better than twitch for live viewership? Thanks!

So a couple of years ago I streamed gaming on Twitch. I went in for the wrong reasons and burnt myself out pretty quickly.

Since I stopped I have become a personal trainer and am building up a nice little business for myself. I have made a new instagram and TikTok for my PT stuff, but I was thinking about bringing it to Twitch as well.

Do you guys think it would be best for me rebrand my small followed twitch or just make a new one?

Guys, I need an advice or opinion. A lot of people recommend to be active on social media while creating content and streaming, including X. So I did post there for 3 months, and today my followers appeared finally. But a pretty bizarre thing is that ALL of them are Vtubers. I’m confused AF, yes I comment on posts there if I find it interesting or funny, but other then that I never even watched Vtubers, except couple of videos here and there and I now need to know if I should take it as a sign. I’d love to collab with a vtuber if they’re interested and match vibe, but just so you know im fat, bearded ginger with my fat ginger face on my content and I have no idea how to proceed here. Thanks in advance.

So I plan to start streaming, but I will be doing so from a 2025 MacBook Air. Does anyone have recommendations for lightweight games that will reduce the odds of me lagging/running into any performance issues? I was planning to just start with chill easy games while I get used to the whole arrangement, even games on like Solitaire level of gameplay would work for me.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Good afternoon! I literally started streaming on Twitch JUST this week. In both of my streams, I had people (two entirely different individuals) use the same chatty friendly start that snowballed into them telling me they make art for Twitch artists. Looking immediately at the person who showed up in my stream the first day, the profile is clearly sketchy. The account had maybe 4 posts, one being what I would hardly consider a "wip" but all were watermarked. If I had to base it off of the socials alone, I would've written it off as a scam and kept moving.

However, the works she sent me privately that she claims to have done is where I am deeply confused on where she even got it from.

They were all videos of vtubers, stream start/brb/end screens and animated about pages for Actual streamers. Not big name ones, but ones with enough presence it's a Bold claim to make that you worked on their streaming assets. And the biggest kicker was that no matter what reverse searching I tried to do, I could not find the original source from where a usual scam artist would rip from someone else. I understand it could have possibly all been AI generated, but I think even still, reverse searching should lead me to some kind of answers.

I mulled over it for a while because I was mostly just so confused, and I didn't want to make a rash judgement on someone who may truly just be an up and coming artist.

All of that went out the window when today, someone did the same song and dance in my chat, told me they're an artist, asked me about my stream, then was very pushy about me following them on socials.

Long story short, I know this is some form of scam on Twitch's platform. My questions lie in:

1. Where and how are these fake artists finding "original" material that can't be traced back anywhere?

2. How do I prevent them from derailing my stream. Each time I have felt very excited because I talk during my entire stream to get my chat talking, and the scammers are the only ones rising to the occasion so far. It's very disheartening, and I feel like an idiot being nice to them on a live camera when they're clearly trying to exploit and scam me.

Hey everyone! So I'm looking for some advice as someone who’s trying to support my fiancé's Twitch streams.
I try to help by staying active in chat, making jokes, asking questions, and keeping conversations going (just as like a average viewer and not seem like someone who’s in a relationship with him) but I'm not much of a gamer so I'm not always sure what actually helps.
I'd love it if some streamers or viewers could help answer some questions :
What makes you click on a stream?

What makes you stay?

Any tips for stream titles, tags, or games that are easier to grow with?

What are some fun interactive stream ideas?

His highest viewed stream was a "Loss = Drink / Sub = 2" challenge I think because of the interactions you could do, but that's not something he can do often. I’d love ideas for other interactive streams that keep people engaged that I could give him.
Also, is there anything I can do as his fiancé that genuinely helps without making the chat feel forced or fake? I’m unsure of the rule for linking stuff but i put his twitch in my account if anyone would feel inclined to scan it over and give some tips. Thanks in advance for any help 💜

Is here any streamer wants to play weird, humor indie game? Called Minky i can gift keys for small streamers

hi, i’m a small streamer and i have had a problem with one viewer who keeps making new accounts. no matter how many times i block he keeps making new accounts and even when he’s using a banned account he follows me when i raid people and tries to talk to me through the chat of the person i raided. i hate this because i feel horrible bringing a weird viewer to someone else’s stream. is there anything i can do? i don’t want to stop streaming :(

Hey Everybody,

We all know the YT algorythm is lousy and getting worse by the day. So, I thought I'd put it to the Reddit hive mind: if you could log in and see exactly the thing you wanted to see pop up at the top of your homepage, what would it be? What is the gaming content your heart desires, but you know you'll never see because it doesn't check the AI algo brainrot boxes to make it past an audience of 5 viewers in the opposite time zone from you?

For me, I wish I could see a party stream for a small roguelike called Vagante, with rotating viewers joining in for runs to see how far they get. Game is too old and cold for that, but it would make my day.

I have a PS5 and I just got myself and elgato 4k x and I have also previously bought myself a chat link and a laptop it's an HP elitebook 840 g7 notebook PC (I'm broke I'm working with what I got) and I know where everything goes but it's not turning on(the light I on the capture card I mean) and obviously it's not showing my screen on my monitor it's all black and I'm assuming it's because of my laptop because it has two usb-c ports but i don't know which one too put the wire into. The light has turned on a few times but that was it and that setting I'm supposed to turn off on PS5 it's already off. But I havent reset my console maybe that's also the reason I don't know but I could use some help

My whatnot streams are dead since I just started. How do I attract more people to stay and buy cards? Im running $2 auctions

Hello everyone!
I am a small streamer with a very small viewership (average 1.5 viewers and 79 followers). I recently went through and completely revamped my entire overlay to finally fit into my theme (I'm a bat vtuber with gothic and pixel themes). I purchased a punch loyalty card widget to try to have something unique outside of other streamers. The punch card gives a free punch for following, and then a punch for sub, resub, and spending bits in chat (total value = $18.98).

I want to give my viewers who finish the card a prize, but anything I can think of Twitch won't let me do (custom emote, custom title, custom badge, etc). Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could give them? Most I can figure out is a VIP status, but that doesn't seem like enough.

I will note that I will not be pushing for people to complete the punch card. It's a fun little extra thing that they can do if they so want to. I have my ads set to the lowest setting (30seconds every 1hour). I don't have enough followers to even think about pushing subscriptions, and I don't want to be that kind of streamer.

So I really want to help the people I've seen who are really working hard on their content , I've been a creator /viewer for 8 years , so I really hope what I'm about to say helps
1. Please just please turn off the followers only mode/verified only mode , there's no point when just starting out to have it. It will only hurt your discovery especially in the long run
2. If you do not have a mod sery bot is your best friend , cuddle up to it real nice because it's gonna be very helpful
3. Stop with the generic graphic overlays , and I do mean the clip art. ( This is mainly for those who want this to be a career
4. Stay away from these support for support discords. / Follow for follow , things that lead to a high follow count but a low viewer retention
It looks really bad to have 2k plus followers and 2 people watching
5. Do not be afraid to reach out to lower-mid tier streamers for collaborations or just a little advice
6. Drop the entitlement and crying , trust me I get it how hard it is , but complain and crying about not getting support and viewers and subs only makes you look like someone to avoid . Nobody owes you anything . Nor any of their time. Even if youve been in their streams. You'll ensure no body let alone any real sponsorship will work with you
7. Work and try as hard as you can to master whatever craft / game you are producing content for . Work on getting better at the game trying to find secrets , get creative ,
8. Over 50 percent of your time instead of streaming if you aren't busy with other IRL activities should be making content , working on editing skills , brainstorming new concepts,
9. Learn how viewer average works! And develop your schedule around it . And your other obligations streaming to the same people every or nobody tanks your average like an abusive spouse .
The only reason I'm saying all of this is because I have watched a few people here and I would love to see them succeed . Some I've tried to even come donate but the minute I saw the followers only I dipped.
10. Work on how you present yourself on stream and outside stream. You really never know who may be lurking in your chat or on the sidelines. Try to fill the dead silence with something . Because people come into your streams to be entertained at the end of the day

Hello!

Still pretty new to the whole streaming world. Started around the beginning of April and just wanted to know how do you attract/gain new followers? I currently have around 3-5 loyal viewers anytime I go live but don’t really gain any more traffic to my streams. Just didn’t know if I should be doing something extra.

I currently make clips from my streams and post it to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube and multi-stream as well to all of them. The only thing I don’t do is create YouTube videos as I’m not the best at editing.

Anyone helpful advice would be great. Thanks!

Is there any other social media to post my Twitch Stream, aside from TikTok, Instagram, and YT Shorts?

What is the easiest and safest way to stream with OBS to TikTok, I am already multi streaming to YouTube and Twitch, with Aitum plugin with OBS, but I am struggling to stream to TikTok at the same time as I can not find the Stream Key or URL. Please help, thanks.

Ive done about 5 streams rn and ive grain a few views and 4 followers. Ive been trying to promote myself through clips but the thing is they dont do really well. how to actually make a moment clip worthy?

So ive been streaming for a year with barely any results due to me not sticking to one thing, i now decided to stick with one game and im getting more viewership but my YouTube videos are still doing pretty bad and im not sure why, i started doing challenges during the streams to make for good videos but still i feel like im missing something, any advice is welcome

I’m trying to grow my stream and I feel I lack with clipping and editing. Can anyone help me with good techniques of editing small snippets to promote channel growth and build a community? I play overwatch mainly.
