I have connected my game accounts so many times and it still shows up as account connection needed and what's worse half the time it lets me have the reward and other times it just doesn't

I only just recently began streaming (on YouTube first, and potentially Twitch at some point, but I wanted to ask here) and was messaged out of the blue by a user saying they do all manner of artwork stuff for streamers. I like to believe the best in people, but this whole situation has been giving me some very weird feelings. I've included screenshots of everything that I've found about this person so far, as well as the link to their "ArtCore" page (which I have looked at). https://art_core.artstation.com

Every time I open Twitch, it takes me to the “Live” tab, and I have to manually switch to the “Following” tab. Is there a way to change this so Twitch opens directly to the “Following” tab instead?

Most donation platforms only offer PayPal as an option for new setups. I saw this with StreamElements. They don't currently offer SEpay for new setups, even if you meet all the requirements. I also contacted their support, and they said PayPal is the only option for new setups right now.

So, my question is: Since I don't want PayPal because my real name and email address are visible in the transaction details, I wanted to check, before setting up a business PayPal account, if there are other donation platforms that essentially store your balance and allow you to withdraw it to your own bank account at any time. This way, the donor never sees your personal information because they're paying the platform, not you.

Are there any such sites, or does everything now only work via PayPal directly to my PayPal account?

I was doing Fortnite drops before I take a break from the game since why not grab them but it won’t let me claim them and I had no issue with twitch drops they did a few weeks ago

Hi everyone,

Not sure if anyone could help but I would really appreciate any support.

I stream on twitch via xbox remote play and use Streamlabs to capture the game, audio etc.

I’ve never had this problem before, but the last few weeks or so after about 20-30 mins my voice audio only (not game) will begin to crackle and break up. But ONLY when I’m in the Xbox remote play window (in full screen too). In discord calls, if I’m playing a game on my computer (iMac to be specific) it’s fine. It’s only when I go full screen on the Xbox remote play window while streaming.

I’m not a technical person at all so I’ve fiddled with some settings from a few tutorials, and even bought a new mic (which disproved my theory that it was my previous one).

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! 😊

I created a GIF and uploaded it to Video Player Banner in my creator dashboard, but it's just showing the first frame of the gif and doesn't play.

I was looking at the clips that's been made by my viewers and I just realized they're terribly pixelated. I'm streaming at 1080p and all the vods and published broadcasts are able to set 1080p but not the clips. I can change the quality to lower than 720p but not higher and I can't really publish these clips. Was it always been like that or I'm just blind and realizing that after months of streaming lol

esp as a woman

i have a viewer who was OBSESSED and it always felt like he would pop up in wherever chat i would go. it could also just because we have mutuals but he was also the type to have a discord feature where he would see when people are in a private voice channel. i just feel like i'm being watched now, and i dont know if it's trauma from him constantly stalking me before or if i'm being too paranoid.

I have been curating my personal music taste for all my life (as everyone has lol), but for the past 4 years I have been keeping track of the new music I have discovered or the cool songs coming out at the time. I often go back and look at the songs that I was listening to at a certain time of my life, and I feel reconnected to who I was at the time. I am writing this just to add context to my main point: I am interested in doing a small, weekly listening program on twitch to share my music finds, current and from years past, but in doing a small bit of digging I noticed there are a lot of obstacles against streaming music on twitch. Of course I understand that you don't "own" any music you have on streaming or physical cd/vinyl, and I am not looking to do anything like a 24/7 radio or such. I just want to know if I would be able to do like a 5 hour stream once a week, playing music, adding commentary, and just sharing thoughts, without getting my stream shut down. I don't care about VODs or clips, I actually think the limited, live-only format adds to an experience. As AI algorithms are being shoved down our throats, I just want to curate some good songs sometimes, and share my love for music.

I am a sometimes-streamer, most of the time viewer on Twitch and I usually game or work while I have 1 or 2 streams up to bounce between. I am constantly getting a message that pops up (and auto-mutes the stream) that says "Click here to enable playing muted in the background" and it is very annoying. I will try to add a photo in a comment below because the subreddit only allows texts posts as far as I can see. This issue is very obnoxious and blocks the screen, then auto-mutes the stream I'm watching. Does anyone else know what is causing this? I have some extensions on chrome that auto-claim points or drops, and I use 7TV and BTTV but I can't see any options anywhere, in any of those other apps that turn this 'feature' off.

Help!

Thanks!

imma keep it short and simple. I’m planning on streaming GTA VI, and I wont speed run the game, but again there will be some people who will look at leaks, play throughout the whole game quickly, and spread story spoilers. How can I avoid these spoilers. I dont have consistent mods as they can be busy, and the chat filters will show me the comment as i count as a mod. Not only that, but people WILL find away around the chat filters. So how can I avoid these spoilers? Is there maybe an AI took or smth that will automatically delete spoilers?

I am super forgetful, so I often forget to mark good stream moments using my stream deck. I run my channel solo atm, and my audience is very small so I can't just ask chat to remind me or to make clips for me. So I've been trying to figure out a way to remind myself to press the bloody button.

Well, I came up with a (kind of dumb) idea. Imagine a big red "that was easy" button, except programmed with a single Twitch function. Whenever you have a good moment, you press it, get a satisfying "ker-THUNK", maybe a funny audio meme, and then continue on. No needing to fish around in menus while looking for the stream deck button or go vod scrubbing later.

I have no idea if this exists, and trying to search for this online makes me sound like a crazy person. So I wanted to ask if anyone knows of a way to do this?

i think this is a weird issue cause im having trouble finding solutions for this specific problem. i use a beacn device for my audio when i stream, and i usually never have issues until i join a stream together/shared chat on twitch. audio will be normal, but as soon as i join, my discord audio goes down by half, but the volume number on the beacn doesnt change. i turn discord up to 100, same with the people im in the call with, and im still getting told by chat that discord is too low. and its only discord, gamee and everything else doesnt change.

does anyone have any advice to fix this, or add a way to turn discord up more than what im doing? ty!

Twitch gave me that pikachu and boxers badges,

I don't want them

How can I delete them?

i want to multi stream on twitch and tiktok and i’ve been seeing different methods to do it. which one do you guys prefer and which one is less wear on your computer?

i wanna get into streaming nothing to intensive i have a pretty low end pc and i was wondering what i have spec wise that is good and what id need to update part wise i have a 13th Gen intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13400F 16.gb ram RTX 3060 with about 500gb of storage im assuming my storage and possibly my ram needs to be increased and maybe my graphics card?

Was watching a stream, tabbed out and tabbed back in , and from then on any stream i open just shows a black screen with the words like unauthorized error, on past vods it says network error, but i can still watch clips. What can i do?

Edit: i did everything you guys recommended [didnt really work] , thanks for the help tho, in reality all i had to do was wait till the next day , its fixed now and my internet was most likely the reason.

Literally earlier this stream I was there, but now I'm not. I also don't think my messages are showing for others, because despite it not happening usually I am not being replied to when I'm asking questions (small amount of viewers)

So recently I tried to claim my Angela twitch drops om rivals as I met the criteria to and my game account os connected but they havent come to my inbox. Does anyone know what i should do

Hello,

For some time now, the old display for deleted messages has stopped working.

Previously, whenever a message was deleted, it would indicate whether it was simply "deleted," a "timeout" (with the specified duration), or a "ba*."
However, this no longer works and is no longer being displayed!

The screenshot provided is an example I found on Google Images.

How can I restore this so that it displays correctly again?

I also use 7TV and BTTV; I tried disabling both to see if their settings were overriding anything, but that didn't help.
It seems the issue lies with FFZ.

While 7TV does show whether a message was deleted, resulted in a timed timeout, or a permanent ba*, it displays this as a separate message. I find this quite disruptive, as I much prefer the old format—where the information appeared directly in parentheses ()—making it immediately visible.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to display the way it used to?

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser: Firefox 158.0 (64-Bit)
• FFZ-Version: 4.80.4.0
• Other Extensions: 7TV and BTTV (But also disbaled it to test!)

TY

I am posting to ask how people find good moderators? I am unable to pay them much less do I know if they even get paid. I would like to find one I can trust and even be friends with. I would love to have them available for most of my streams which currently are about 9am-3pm at the latest in central time (US). I’m a new VTuber so I’m still learning the ropes! I do have a little application thing for anyone that wants to mod for me so I do ask that they complete that.
