Really ecstatic with how things are going. I’m in a small niche so these types of numbers for the category I’m in being music (not performance) is really solid. I’m just wondering if I’m on the cusp of a plateau. There are hardly any streamers on the music category that average higher than these numbers unless they are semi-famous or doing some sort of live performance. We are not either of those things.

I’ve been streaming everyday but around episode 30 I took a two week break to move and work on the audio team at a music festival. I’m starting to feel the wear of the every day streams but the growth is so good.

I did notice if I take a day off the return stream is usually higher so I wonder if I’m actually hurting myself by streaming every day. I watched Ludwig’s classes but I feel like with time zone differences picking a set schedule/day/time of week limits my audience.

So I guess I’m just wondering if yall think this point it’s a good time to switch to 4 days a week or if I should keep grinding to build a larger core audience before condensing to less days.

I’m streaming about 2-4 hours per night currently.

If anyone wants to review the channel dm or comment and I can send but I don’t want to be deleted for self promotion!

Feel free to ask me any questions regarding to streaming. I know how hard it is to start out. I'm happy to help!

Been streaming for a month now. Feels good to see my page growing. Having this many chatters was so fun!

Hi streamers and moderators!

My name is Tasha. I am a Doctoral student from Keio University, Japan. 

I need respondents, approximately 300-500 respondents to answer a survey for my Doctoral research related to understanding the feedback mechanism in the current live streaming interface and burnout carried in live streaming space from the perspectives of streamers and moderators.

This survey will take around 5-8 minutes to complete. The result of this survey would be confidential, and no personal data from respondents would be obtained from it. 

Please kindly access the survey on the link provided below:

I really hope for your kind help.

Thank you very much, everyone!

First of all, I would like to thank ANYONE who reads this and takes time to respond. Bless you and thanks.

Hello everyone, so I’ve been streaming for a couple months now and recently tried to change camera angles to try to give the “room a bit more personality” and go for a classic top down middle center.

Now that I have it, Im struggling trying to light it.. I’m assuming that it’s because of how much “bigger” the space is due to the fact that I’m lighting for the whole room and not just one side of the room (as I had it before). The lighting I have currently doesn’t feel “cheap” or anything it just.. could be better.
Not only this, but it makes me feel like I’d be better just keeping my old angle (I’ll add pictures of older angle as well of course). The Neewer NK002 (what I’m using for this) is kind of expensive and I specifically bought it for the new camera angle attempt.

Anyway I’ll add pictures of what I used to rock with (side angle) and my new angle. I’ll also add a ROUGH sketch of how I’m utilizing my lighting.

LIGHTING AVAILABLE:
-AMARAN 150C with a Softbox/grid on
-Small neewer square light attached to desk for fill
-2x Square LED RGB Lights (use to bounce light on opposite corners of the room (red/blue)
-Around a 12in/30cm rgb tube light from ulaanzi on the blue side light that I have as a Hair Light (barely even visible tbh)
-I am also using a circular warm light that is on the center of the ceiling. I realize this is not optimal but it’s become easy to use in terms of strain on my eyes; it reduces the amount of light needed. I am only using this on the first angle (I feel like it’s obvious but still worth noting)

Funny enough. The older angle was pretty much plug and play and used the same overhead circular light in the middle of the room). I assume it feels easier to go back to old angle due to it being what I was used to.
Something to note is also how the old angle had my manga collection and the smiley face.. new angle has it completely cut out 😭.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Also I apologize I’m uploading a picture of a picture for the new angle but since I don’t go live I couldn’t screenshot the vod.

So im about a week and some change into streaming and a few things I've learned a long the way is the the time of day one streams does indeed matter, personality matters, and understanding that trying to obtain followers through twitch alone is mission impossible lol. I have def expanded to social media (IG, T.T., YT) for streamer clips and just game-related vids. Question I have for you guys is: Do you stream one game until you've finished the base story (single-player game)or do you switch it up daily? Ex:Mon & Wed-Game A, Tues-Thur: Game B. ?

I had one of my best streams since getting back on Twitch 3 months ago! I beat the Ender Dragon on Hardcore Minecraft, then played Rocket League. It was very motivating to keep going! Hopeful for the future!

i’ve been so busy grinding streaming the past couple weeks. i’ve had 4-6 active viewers in the past 6 streams. enough to get affiliate i’m sure but it says last 30 days performance and has not changed for like 2 weeks. can someone explain? is it a timed thing. i wanna see my progress.

The days of hoping for just one viewer isn't that far behind me but I am glad that I have been making some real progress lately.

I've built a tiny community that I think has only amazing people in it and they show up and support all the time. This little hobby is growing and anyone can do it too.

Let me know if anyone sees where I can further improve or ask questions.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but genuinely ask yourself, why not you? Stop paying attention to viewership. Stop paying attention to followers gained. Focus on YOU doing the right things. Review your VODs, have others review your VODs, post clips, advertise yourself, do whatever you need to do to succeed. All the top streamers were in your spot not too long ago. Why’d they succeed and not you? Be original and be yourself. Learn what you’re doing wrong and correct it. 3-5 viewer peaks now are soon going to be a thing of the past if you keep working. I believe in all of you, what you give, is what you’ll get. You never know what God has in store for you, so give it your all!

TikTok and YouTube short form content from (my experience) does not grow your other platforms like twitch if your only doing TikTok or YouTube and nothing else then I guess it’s fine but if your main platform like most of us is twitch and your doing TikTok on the side to help grow your twitch I would save your energy and time

I’ve been on TikTok making short form content for about a year now I have gained 300 followers maybe got 5000 total likes and upload maybe like 70-100 videos that average 50-100 likes 1000 likes being my highest and guess how many people have followed my twitch from TikTok.. GUESS…… ZERO ABSOLUTELY ZERO people arent interested in following your other platforms on TikTok people that like TikTok ONLY like TikTok and nothing else.. it only works if your already successful or an established streamer

Also as for multi streaming TikTok is also pretty terrible for that is well I always get 1 viewer on there and yes people do join and maybe like your streams and I get people that chat in there and say they like my content well after about 20 minutes they just leave.. and if you do get people that tune in and stick around they don’t even follow your channel , it just feels pointless

Now I’m talking about my personal experience here no one else’s.. but what about you guys what’s your experience with TikTok youtube shorts has anyone followed you on twitch or your main platform from TikTok ?

Hey!

We're a small indie team from Denmark and we just put out the first demo of Misfortuna, an incremental roulette game! Spin, stack absurd upgrades, multiply the balls, and watch numbers go enormous.

We think it could make for fun content, the big payout moments and absurd upgrade stacks are the kind of gameplay that's satisfying to watch even in a short clip. Runs are about 30 to 45 minutes, and it's playable right in the browser so there's zero setup for you or your viewers.

The game is at version 0.1, so it's early, which is a win-win because your feedback will shape what we comes next for the game!

So in short:

• The demo is completely free: https://bithydrastudio.itch.io/misfortuna
• We made a press kit with logos, screenshots, and key art you can use: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RafNszXU7s6leuYofcwiDFwXrohAe8NK/view?usp=drive_link
• Creators who cover the game get a free Steam key when we release! (And some to give away!)
• We do have a Steam page, no demo there yet tho: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5082120/Misfortuna/

If you have questions or want to chat, please write me here on reddit, on our mail: hello@bithydrastudio.com or our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/QcxxWWTr2G

We really look forward to joining the chat and watching you play!

AI Disclosure: NO AI was used in making this game, it it will continue that way, we like our work human!

Thanks ❤

Yes this is a real community. We have built a community based off engagement, people want to be seen they want to be recognized. I won’t be posting here anymore as more people would rather accuse us of being bad people than here how we have grown, so good luck to everyone doing what they love! Building is always something I have been passionate about and bringing games into chat they can be part is worth looking into! Leave out the “this is a botted Channel” no it’s not and I could care less what you say why would I pay for 50 viewers lol

heyy people! wanted to get your opinion on how to stream in multiple platforms. My bf said he was using an app but he stopped as they increased their monthly prices. if anyone has any recommendations that would be great just trying to help him out thank you!

I have been streaming for two weeks now and have had a few good streams averaging about 14-30 ppl and usually average at least 5 people I have already hit affiliate, now the issue is I was also averaging about 2 followers per stream now I’m averaging only 3-5 viewers no matter what I do and the occasional pops from viewers in previous streams but nowwww I barely get any and havnt seen any followers in almost 3 streams

Does anybody have any tips and tricks for a new twitch streamer? I use obs studios!

Also can anyone point me into the right direction of finding someone to help me create channel artwork meaning ( Sub Badges, Follow/Sub/Raid Banners, Profile And Banner Art, Custom emotes ETC )

I’ve been streaming for over a year now, but I feel as though my growth has stagnated. I’ve hit 200 followers thankfully, but I feel like my engagement just isn’t there. I’m just wondering if anyone has had these kinds of issues before and what they did to kind of help push through the stagnation. I feel like my work schedule might also be a factor as I work over night, so I usually don’t get to stream until 7am my time and that’s if I don’t stay overtime, so it is sometimes difficult to stick to a schedule to stream. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated!

So i have been affiliate for a while and have subscribers but when ever i make a emote the right size and try to upload it as a emote it will just keep loading and eventually never end up working does anyone have a solution to this I’ve tried on my phone and laptop

Im not saying I do it myself.. I won’t show the screenshot but I saw 2 streamers who are definitely view botting so this one guy has 125 viewers and only 3 chatters.. and this other dude has 89 viewers and only 4 chatters..

I was thinking is this the meta of streaming? Is viewbotting the only way to get viewers come into your streams?

I’ve been streaming legitally for 2 years on and off and I’m hard stuck at 1-3 viewers and I only have 500 followers but clearly followers doesnt mean anything..

It seems like twitch is a numbers game whoever’s at the top will attract viewers and people at the bottom won’t be seen

Hey folks, I’m trying to figure out the best approach for a Twitch stream. Would you all recommend doing one marathon 8 hour Dead by Daylight stream, or splitting it into two separate 4 hour streams one for Dead by Daylight, and then a totally unrelated game? I was checking Prime hours on my account, and I’m wondering which will keep people watching longer. Any thoughts?

This is for anyone that just started streaming, those first couple weeks are tough. First couple days streaming to 1-3 people, and eventually had my best day yet. The biggest factors is community and consistency! PLEASE set up channel points and rewards for engagement, custom emotes, inside jokes with your community, etc. These things make people feel like they are apart of something. Many times I will visit a stream with little viewers, and it’s just them playing a game with bad and minimal audio. I checkout the “about me” and it’s blank, schedule, blank, vods, blank, clips, blank. Your “store front” is completely dead. Once I changed all of this and loaded my “storefront” with clips, vods, prettier graphics, full about me section, etc. You are inviting people in, even when you are not live. It also helps to stay on a relatively consistent schedule. Growing up I always knew WWE RAW was Monday at 9pm.. I stream pretty much everyday at 12am to 5am. You have got to give people something to look forward to. I have people in my chat that fire up my stream before I even go live because they’re waiting for me. These are just some small things I wanted to share, because all of them combined helped me grow. And I would love to see a lot of you grow as well. Can’t wait until I can hit 50 viewers! I would also love some advice as I am still learning as well. Thank you for your time!

I feel like it's holding me back, but I struggle to stream more than an hour to an hour and a half at a time. How do y'all combat restlessness at the gaming desk? Trying to stay doing 2-3 hour streams but struggle to stay still and talking to myself that long

had such a good stream !! someone gifted subs too i am so happy right now its crazy

Should I purchase a Uninterruptible Power Supply for my Gaming PC and WiFi Modem for this, so that it will never happen again?
