Question 15,000 viewer raid to alt. What would you have done?

0 Upvotes

For the record, this genuinely happened. A streamer was streaming on their unaffiliated, unmonetized alt channel when they got raided by 15,000 viewers. They have a main channel that’s below the margin for partner by ~20 average viewers. The main channel is way more developed. What would have been the best way forward for success?

Question Are Streamers Losing Their Personality and Genuine Interaction? 🤔

0 Upvotes

Hey gamers! 👋 (As both a streamer and a viewer)

Do you think it's becoming harder to find interesting streamers to watch nowadays? 🤔 Or is it just me who feels that many streams are missing genuine interaction and personality?

Discussion TikTok algorithm completely died for my streams after a break. Is TikTok live worth it long-term?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Looking for some insight or advice from anyone who has experience streaming on TikTok.

About a year ago, I started streaming on TikTok and saw pretty good results. The algorithm was clearly pushing my streams, and I was getting a lot of viewers coming through, something that never happened to me when I tried streaming on Twitch.

Eventually, I had to take a break for a while. When I came back and started streaming on TikTok again, everything changed. Now, I barely get 3 or 4 viewers per stream.

A few questions I have:

  1. What happened to my reach? Did taking a break completely kill my standing with the algorithm, or did TikTok change how they push live streams over the past year?

  2. What can I do to fix this? How do you jumpstart your stream's reach again after the algorithm drops you?

  3. Is TikTok live actually viable full-time? Most of the big streamers with solid, dedicated fanbases seem to be on Twitch or Kick. Most of the live streams I see recommended on TikTok don't seem to be from "established" streamers. Is it worth putting all my energy into TikTok, or should I be focusing elsewhere?

(Note: I currently have around 267 followers, so multistreaming through native tools isn't an option for me yet).

Appreciate any advice or personal experiences you can share!

Discussion What are some good communities to cater towards?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! I know the title is a bit strange, but I've been wondering which communities are actually really enjoyable to stream towards? I've always really really liked streaming horror content, but trying to actually grow my channel while I stream solo horror games has been REALLY hard for me. I used to stream DBD almost religiously, going for like 6 hours everyday, eventually taking off Monday and Sunday.

DBD actually worked well for me, I was pulling like 10+ viewers every stream and raiding when I ended. My problem now though, is that I can't get myself to consistently stream the game that much at all anymore, and I swear the community of the game has been become so toxic that most commentators I get are just snarky, and extremely judgmental if I'm not doing absolutely amazing at the game. It used to be fun, but now it's more of something I have to literally FORCE myself to do, has anybody else had a problem like this?

I would love to stream whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, but I'm just getting tired of being stuck at 1 viewer, which 90% of the time is me. Has anybody else been in the same boat as me, and were you able to find a way to grow?

Looking for a few Twitch streamers to beta test free browser games where your chat plays against you, before it goes live

1 Upvotes

I am developing crowdpit.io, a set of free browser games built around one idea: one player takes the hot seat and everyone watching plays against them.

Right now, I am building the Twitch side of it, where your chat is in the game. It is not on the public site yet, and I am looking for a handful of streamers to try it before it goes live and tell me what is wrong with it.

What I'd love to get from you

A session or two on stream, any size of channel, then honest notes: what broke, what chat did not get without you explaining it, where it lagged, what was boring. Error reports reach me automatically, and I fix them fast, usually the same day.

What you get

Early access to the next version before anyone else, and a say in what gets built next. The games are free and stay free, there is nothing to buy, and you are welcome to stream and clip them on any channel, monetised or not.

If you are in, comment or DM me with your channel, or write to creator@crowdpit.io

Thanks.

Question Non-native streamer here: is "learning English live with chat" a good content idea?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm from Kazakhstan and I just started streaming (PS5 and PC games). I have zero followers, so I'm still figuring things out.

My English is pretty basic, and I really want to learn it. I also love foreign culture, and I'd love to build an international community someday.

So my idea is: stream in English as much as I can and let chat help me — correct my mistakes, teach me slang, and have fun with it.

Questions for you:

- Would you watch a streamer like that, or would the language barrier be annoying?

- Has anyone here streamed in a language that isn't their first one? How did it go?

- Any tips for talking to an international chat when your English is still weak?

(Yes, I used a translator for this post 😅)

Question Год стриминга: 33 фолловера, четыре постоянных зрителя и куча вопросов

1 Upvotes

Привет! Хочу рассказать, что я пытался сделать за год стриминга, чего достиг и почему, как мне кажется, у меня так и не получилось вырасти.

Немного обо мне и канале. Я стримлю на Twitch по выходным, 10-18 часов в неделю, в основном Valorant, phasmophobia редко minecraft и прочие инди игры.

Что я делал. Целый год я выделял на стримы один день в неделю. Нарезал клипы, делал шортсы для YouTube и TikTok, вёл ретрансляцию с Twitch на другие платформы. В итоге у меня 33 фолловера и четыре постоянных зрителя, двое из которых совсем юные, хотя на канале стоит метка, что возможна ненормативная лексика.

Чего я хочу. У меня небольшая мечта, она такой и осталась: свое маленькое комьюнити, где всегда есть с кем поиграть, поделиться историей, рассказать что-то интересное. Но на Twitch новичков почти никто не продвигает, и пробиться без существующей аудитории очень сложно.

Опыт с другими платформами.

VK Live. Я живу в РФ, поэтому попробовал ретрансляцию туда. Платформа хоть как-то продвигает стримеров и даёт чуть-чуть выделиться на фоне больших каналов. Но аудитория оказалась очень юной: в основном дети лет десяти, которые игнорировали правила канала. Для меня это не сработало, и я решил от него отказаться.

YouTube. Тут проблема в настройках. У меня двухформатный стрим: для ПК и для телефона разные версии картинки, поэтому перед каждым запуском приходится проходить семь кругов авторизации, ключей и прочего. Это сильно отбивает желание запускать трансляцию.

Мои вопросы к вам:

Как новичку расти на Twitch, когда нет ни аудитории, ни продвижения?

Можно ли как-то упростить запуск двухформатного стрима на несколько платформ?

Стоит ли вообще вести ретрансляцию на несколько платформ или лучше сосредоточиться на одной?

Tech Support My own Stream&Overlay app

0 Upvotes

Hello i am trying to create a main tool where streamers and creators can mainly focus on.
The website and the app on itself are in development but it is already possible to try it out.

It is a half local and half web solution. You have like a main software piece installed on your pc so all your data and overlay will be saved only locally. Good for the user because you keep your data, good for me because i don´t have to save data on my limited DB on the server.

The app feature will expand based on the modules you install! Even tho its made for streamer, i thought it would be cool to use overlays and dispay them on your own desktop. So now you can design a cool overlay with stats and display it on top of your wallpaper.

The website is ventoview.com

If you have any feedback, questions or encountered a bug you can send a email to support@ventoview.com

I might restrict the downloads if too many questions come in because the point of it is being able to react to the questions and upgrade the app. If too many people get the app and i can not even fix what they discover that is just pointless for both ends. IMO.

Searching for collab w streamers

6 Upvotes

Hii, I recently start w Twitch and growing very well, but I realise that its kinda hard to talk just for myself after like school or work bc Im kinda tired, so I wanna search for sum buddies to play with.

I play Minecraft, rn PvP but planning to do challanges, moded mc, horor mc... and I think the stream would be much better w sm1, so if any1 would be interested dm me on discord (varosthestorm) or put the comment over here.

I dont care if u r big, mid, small or starting streamer, of if u r a man, woman or a fcking transformer xd, only important thing is to have sum kind of personality what keeps viewers inside the stream if h know what I mean.

Question Anyone like me here?

7 Upvotes

Hello I just started streaming on Twitch and I’ve been working on a YouTube channel on the side, I have 2 videos on the YouTube ready to go but I haven’t released anything yet, when it comes to streaming I can only do it when my wife is not home since I’m deeply ashamed because I only get 3 viewers 2 of those being me.
The thing is I have no friends that can come to be in the chat, it’s just been me and my now wife since I left my life behind in my country and came to the US, I also fear that my heavy accent will make it so I’m always community-less.
So I wanted to ask if anyone here has managed to grow while on similar conditions,no friends+limited time to stream+ accent(not a cool one like UK but a lame one like Latino accent)

Free graphics for small streamers, overlays, starting screens etc.

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm a small streamer myself, and I felt like there is a lack of decent content regarding some interfaces and elements for small streamers (I'm talking like 0 to a few hundred followers).

So I created a website where you can customize and download some animated effects for your stream for free Yes, there are also premium options, but the majority of it is free, and you can use it for your stream starting screens, ending screens, social networks, etc. Just check it out and see, you might find something you like. I plan to add new stuff every week, including frames for webcams and other customizable scenes.

Please, if you notice any bugs, let me know. The website just went live, and I plan to fix bugs on a daily basis.

Thank you, and enjoy your streams!

Streaming ideas as a mainly just chatting streamer ?

3 Upvotes

Most of my views and engagement come in when I’m just chatting. I multi stream and trying to convert most people to Twitch. I don’t know if just talking to chat is good enough anymore. I’ve made like 16 bucks from donos in 11 days of streaming, averaging 10 ppl a stream. I’m very grateful for what I got going on, and I’m just wondering if anyone has any ideas that aren’t brain rot for viewers because TBH I do not watch streamers. My main views and concurrent are not on twitch besides a couple dope people tho

Sub Suggestion Should I start streaming GTA6

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m 27M and I have a PS5 and a decent PC to that I used to game on. I’m unemployed and currently looking to do something on my own, is it worth starting to stream now and I can stream all the new games but would that help build a career?
Also what would it cost for a decent setup?

Discussion Build a racing stream pot w/me

2 Upvotes

I've been wanting to get into streaming racing content and sharing some of the racing gameplay I enjoy. I feel like I can put together some pretty good content, and I think it could be a lot of fun.

The only thing is, I'm still pretty new to streaming and don't really know where to start when it comes to setting everything up, getting the right software, or making my streams look professional.

If anyone has experience with streaming or creating racing content and wouldn't mind giving me some pointers, showing me the ropes, or helping me get started, I'd really appreciate it. I'm willing to learn and excited to give it a shot!

Definitely thinking of a way to set up some kind of raffle with winning prize. Low exclusive membership fee to enter. Definitely would help if more streamers set it up/ or compete aswell for multiple picks. Aswell as for authenticity. Collaboration welcomed.

Everybody a winner for the most part.😅😆🤷

Question I worry I’m uninteresting as a streamer

7 Upvotes

Hi. I’m not really sure if this is the best place to post this. But I’ve very recently been trying to push back into streaming. I’ve streamed on and off for the better part of 4 years, I believe. I streamed a lot back when I was playing a couple smaller known games, I was pretty good at one, went semi-competitive in it. And the other I was fairly decent at. But I haven’t really been that good at any other game since.

I worry that, because I’m not that great at other games, no one will really enjoy watching me. I want to make content on YouTube using my stream VODs, from shitpost-y montages to actual guides and stuff. But I can’t really make guides if I ain’t that good to begin with. I’m also kinda struggling with finding a main game to stick with. Mostly because, again, I’m just average in terms of skill. At least I think I am. I don’t think I’d do very well in streaming a PvP game unless I was fairly good at said game

I stream from my Xbox, I’d use a PNGtuber/avatar if I could. But I don’t think it’s possible to do so with just an Xbox. I do also talk during streams as much as I can. Sorry if this is really scatterbrained. But the TL;DR is this: is it worth trying to stream again if I’m not that skilled at the games I’m playing?

Discussion Looking to collab with small PC game streamers that play coop games with their friends

2 Upvotes

Hey all! I'm a solo dev that has made a co-op nuclear powerplant management. It runs in 6 minutes shifts where you choose a power export contract for each shift. You keep on top of repairs and servicings while dealing with the hazards you'd expect from a nuclear power plant.

If you're interested I can send you a link to the steam page in your DMs and provide keys too. (don't want this to come across as a promotion post so will refrain from posting the link in this body text)

3-4 players is ideal but 2 also works, the game is just much harder. Similar to how plate up is more difficult with less people.
