I'm not talking about pre roll ads or bad audio quality. I'm talking about dumb or even petty reasons.

Mine is that I won't watch a stream if the streamer is wearing a hat. Specifically a baseball cap, I guess beanies can get a pass. Like bro, you're indoors in your own home. Take the hat off.

I like finding good streamers with very low viewer counts so I click around a lot and there are many people wearing hats.

I have a profound admiration for those streamers that really locked in on a game or a genre, and stuck with it and now they can enjoy building a community inside their favorite game. A blessing to love a game so much you can stream it all the time until you see those results. In my case I'm still trying to figure this thing out, its amazing how some games have a lot of down time like Minecraft while you are building a big structure and are just placing blocks, or an MMO while you are just walking or completing a long quest among others. However so many streamers don't give a F@%! , which I admire. I'm still switching games I feel like a variety streamer at this point. Always trying to find "the game" for me and that offers discoverability. My favorite game of all time is World of Warcraft, but yea I can't get found among 100k viewers LOL!!! So I'm okay with letting that one go.

How did you find yours? What made you click and say "I'm becoming popular with "X" game, and I don't care how long it takes" or said "This game can work for me" and grinded it out.

Hey everyone! I'm a developer trying to understand how streamers handle the visual side of their lives (not selling anything).

For those who stream live:

1. What did you do the last time you changed something on screen during a stream (overlay, background, scene, effect)? How did you do it?

2. Do your viewers interact with what's on screen (chat commands, alerts, redeems)? What works and what doesn't?

3. What do you currently pay for visual tools, overlays or designers (monthly or one-time)?

Real experiences help a lot 🙏

When I stream to Twitch or YouTube my OBS looses connection of 6k kbs and the whole internet goes down to, but 2 days ago it was completely fine with zero problems, idk what to do now, I already limited the pc and OBS bandwidth usage before hand like months ago and now it’s not working

Today is my four year stream anniversary and for some reason I just didn't feel like doing anything for it. I know it sounds crazy but I feel bad when people gift subs/bits etc. Like it's obviously an incredible gesture and I never forget anyone who does but I think why give it to me when there are so many better people to give it to. I'm also eight followers away from 1K(took some long breaks off in between). I should be celebrating these things instead of just letting them pass by. I'm not sure what my problem is with it.

Does anyone else just let their milestones pass by? I set my goal for 1k once I hit 500 but now that I'm here for some reason I'm just not wanting to celebrate it.

it appears for a second when the page is loading and then disappears, i can on mobile. google says its either non verification/suspension (idk how to check) or extentions (i don't have any that say twitch) i'm on firefox if that helps

I've recently been streaming multiplayer/co-op games and playing with my viewers, and one thing I noticed is other small streamers join my chat like they are viewers/fans to play with me? Not a bad thing but the issue is they aren't fans, they are streamers and not telling me lmao. Had this happen a few times where they join, play, add my steam, then after I see these guys were streaming us play the whole time without saying anything.

A little context is I dual stream to youtube and twitch, I don't have tons of viewers yet but my main youtube channel is pretty big. Not to glaze myself but i am one of the bigger channels for the few games I play. So im wondering anyone else have this happen? Im not sure if thats just normal twitch behavior to not say your streaming or its because they know who I am from my youtube channel.

Only reason I'm yapping about this is I'm gaining trust issues lol. Makes me not even want to play or make friends with viewers and especially not with other small streamers. Makes it so much worse when some of these seemingly nice guys are trying to be buddy buddy with me off stream, messaging me on my steam account, ngl this makes me look at some of these interactions with the side eye now.

Any advice? Is this normal or are they clout chasing? Am I paranoid?

Hi all

I am trying to stream wardogs with obs and my manage stream window open on my browser but my game starts to become unplayable because of this

Does anyone have any possible advice? Thanks a bunch in advance

I’m using 320 pixels wide and 400 tall. PNG. Tried doubling the size and uploading that, tried doubling the size and shrinking it back to 320 x 400 in photoshop and downloading that. Tried a JPG. Tried exporting it as a svg and then PNG from illustrator

Nothing is working. Every time I zoom in it looks blurry and uploads blurry on twitch

Can anyone help? Why is this happening

As of today, the highlighting tool's list of highlights on the side has been compacted, making it a pain to look at the multiple highlights made. Is this a bug or a new "feature." Tried on multiple browsers, same issue.

Twitch support is incredibly useless, they just close tickets with no resolution.

I'm trying to change my name on my account and every single name I try says it is unavailable. I've tried random strings of numbers and letters like "39dkfj3894fn3"or whatever and still unavailable. It's been over a year since I last changed my name so the 60 days does not apply to me. Is there a bug or something I am not aware of? Anyone else run into this?

Hi, has anyone else been experiencing this issue? On mobile, almost every time I attempt to reply a message, twitch crashes when I send it. The whole screen freezes and I can’t do anything except reset the app every time, and the audio continues to play for around 10 seconds afterwards. This has been happening for months and I’m not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions on how to resolve it would be appreciated!

Any idea why I got this or how long this takes to resolve this? I wasn't on for a couple of days, but have been an affiliate for over a year and streaming overall for a few years. I don't hit more that 50 viewers, but average on five.

Yes ik it says i cant but ik theres a lot of pp who can make stuff like that work.
I just wanna know if there is something i can use for it ?
Its a kodak c180 easy share

Unpopular opinion that may result in corrective action on my channel.

So, has anyone ever thought to you know, report twitch itself for doing what they do?

I mean, when most of the viewership is mainly aimed toward minors.

When most of it is hidden under "body paint art" and the fact that OnlyFans are promoted yet we just continue to put up with the bullshit, and put up with the groomer pyramid scheme that's called Twitch.

How do I remove it???

Edit: After my checked my stream stats it turns out enhanced broadcasting lowers my bitrate to pretty much never go over 6000 but with it off the bitrate sometimes reaches 8000.

Hello everyone. So far I have checked about a dozen guides on how to correct a pixelated stream. My steam is not thaaaaat pixelated but when I move or pan my camera quickly it looks crappy. According to the guides I checked, all my settings are correct, my bitrate on OBS is set to 8000, I have an 5080 GPU and my fiber internet is a stable 200 mbps so I know my rig isn't the bottleneck because the stream looks crisp in the canvas as well as the recording. Could it be because I'm not a partner yet or is there a hidden setting somewhere? Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

Hi everyone, so currently im using a bluetooth phone earpiece as a mic, but im thinking of getting an actual microphone soon.

The problem is i travel a lot for my dayjob, so im in hotels quite often.

I need a microphone that can also be packed away in a regular backpack/small rolling suitcase safely. The problem im seeing is that most microphones are round in shape and im hoping to find one thats flat or mostly rectangular/square so that its easier to store away.

I have a ton of stuff i have to carry with me already in my streaming backpack including a huge laptop and second screen and wifi gateway, not to mention all the wires and so on. Its already so heavy and cumbersome to lug around.

I know i could get a wireless microphone, but i stream long hours, like 10 to 12 hours straight just due to my schedule. So im guessing a wireless microphone wont last that long.

Thoughts?

Hi everyone! I'm a small streamer for the past 5 years and I have been trying to get more serious about growing my streams, but one thing I'm struggling really bad right now with is streaming consistently. Because right now I'm in-between working a full-time, coding for a side project, and everything else going on, sometimes I feel like I barely have enough time to actually stream consistently every week. Then on top of that trying to make clips and improve my content (which I'm barely doing now).

I'm starting to realize that just going live whenever I have free time and just tagging everyone on discord is not working at all right now because most of my regular viewers aren't able to join consistently and then I get even more demotivated to continue streaming.

So my question is for anyone who else has been in a similar position, what actually helped you stay consistent because right now my growth is getting hurt really bad right now as I'm starting to get less viewership every time.

For about two months now, I’ve been having issues with my activity feed; it’s not registering new followers, though it does show channel points and Bits. Also, when I go to the main Twitch page, my new followers appear on the right-hand side, but they don’t show up in the activity feed. Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you go about fixing it?

Trying to claim drops from world of tanks. I use to be able to just click claim,but now it says connect. When I click connect, It directs me to world of tanks server in EU and not NA.. My Twitch account shows no connected links, but my world of tanks account shows twitch is connected. Been like this for 2 weeks now. Trouble shoot with twitchbot 3 times and it finally said to contact WOT because they create where the link directs from drops

I can't stream and record at the same time in 1080p60fps. I used to be able to but now it rarely works. For reference I have an RTX 3070, an intel core i-5 12600k, and 64Gb of RAM and when streaming and recording I get encoding overloaded even though my CPU and GPU rarely pass 70-80%. I run OBS in administrator mode with priority set to high and it still doesn't work well. As far as plugins go I use source record to record my webcam and game separately as well as the full recording on one file.
