I posted a clip on twitter and someone named the epic streamers replied "lets talk!", im very skeptical and their account seems to not get much traction but somehow has 130k followers, so idk if i should actually dm them or not
Hello, I frequent this subreddit and I was just curious if there were any methods that helped any of you calm your nerves before starting your stream(s). I find myself feeling extremely anxious when I’m hovering over “Go Live”, which is the complete opposite of who I normally am, and I chicken out. I would love to start streaming but I feel like I can’t get over this hurdle.
I apologize for the formatting, am on mobile.
If you were to get paid to stream and only stream, what would your rate be? When I was working a 9-5 job if I made $20-25/hr I felt like that was decent. Then switching to freelance I started making my daily income goals $2-300/day.
I'm not asking how much you need to go full time, just what do you feel like the value of your time is? And do you feel like you're making progress towards that goal?
Hello!
I'm relatively new to streaming and when I get certain messages I need to ban/get rid of, the BG voice line (you feel authority) plays in my head.
I tried looking into certain sound effect things but most of them that were recommended by twitch were either paid (monthly) or affiliate (which I'm not at yet).
Any advice/recommendations are greatly appreciated. I also don't mind paying a one time thing, I just don't like having subscriptions for that kinda stuff.
Thank you so much!
Hi, I have been streaming on and off for 9 years. I lost my job in November and the job market is impossible, so I thought I would pick streaming back up as I am already playing games, so why not just stream again?
My main issue is that last month I had a really good average, around 8-10 viewers, however this month, I’m bombing and only hitting around 2. I have a mixed audience from different parts of the world, so it isn’t my timezone necessarily but I am concerned that it is the time of day that I am streaming that could be affecting things.
If I stream around 12pm UTC+1, NA watchers are just waking up/going to work and EU people are already halfway through their work day. If I stream at 4pm, EU are just finishing work, spending time with family and eating and whatever and NA are part of the way though their work days.
Based on this analysis, would streaming be more beneficial in the evening/night like starting at 6pm or possibly even later?
Any advice would really help <3
I’ve been looking at some posts on reddit and I see people say the same thing about how turning on a game and going live isnt enough to grow or get people to watch your streams anymore does that mean I have no chance of growing on twitch because im not one of these streamers that shouts and is so energetic I’m very chill I do talk in my streams mainly about the gameplay and I engage with people if they chat but I feel like I’m order to grow you have put on an act on stream and be funny and loud but that’s just not me at all am I wasting my time with this streaming thing? I really do enjoy it
A game I really like (PoE 2) has its seasonal reset coming up. I’ve played it a ton and consider myself really knowledgeable in the game, so I wanted to take things seriously this time and stream the whole launch weekend. I stream regularly when work allows 2-3 times a week and have a small community. ~270 followers and 7-10 viewers consistently. I know how to talk in downtime and how to bridge the gap between game-talk and personal talk when the game gets boring.
My question is, if you maybe couldn’t play a game right away for whatever reason (work, can’t afford it yet, played too much of it, etc.) or want to have some game content in the background when you play. What would you look for if you decided to click on a small stream?
I’m really curious since I have a couple weeks leading up to it, and a lot of time to add/improve things on stream. I tend to be creative enough, but I’m not the most common viewer of streams so I am a little out of touch on what people are looking for now that it’s so saturated.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
i'm 24yrs old, with the passion to be nonchalantly entertaining and finally acting as my weird self as a streamer two years ago i gained my affiliate status from the help of a community that help me reach my goal but i have now the biggest issue and that is getting views or getting recognized on my streams and i wonder if it's because i dont use webcam but a vtuber model(PNGTUBER) or that im not as entertaining as i really thought i was sometimes i get the follows from just people i play with or against but idk how to engage with viewers that dont give me a chance to talk or even give them a most brain dead acting(geek'd) a whole lot of yap but need the advice so i can keep moving forward with my streaming career (and i also make clips and youtube videos so i wonder what
im doing wrong)
am i considered a small streamer? i have 20 followers but i have one supporter that shows up pretty often and sometimes we play togheter and have cool chats

I’ve been streaming for a little over a month now and I’m trying to grow naturally without forcing things too hard. My niche is mostly cozy/fantasy-focused gaming and community-driven streams. Right now my main game is Dragon Age: Origins, and once a week I stream My Time at Portia for a more relaxed/cozy vibe.
At the moment I stream around 3–4 times a week, upload shorts to TikTok and YouTube, upload full VODs to YouTube, and I’ve even set up a small fantasy-themed Discord community already.
I’m mostly wondering if there’s realistically anything else I should already be doing for discoverability, or if this is simply the stage where patience and consistency matter the most.
I’ve also been thinking about joining the Twitch affiliate program mainly for channel points and viewer interaction features, but I’m worried the ads could scare away potential new viewers since I’m still very small (13 followers currently).
And one more thing:
Would you recommend staying mostly focused on the same 1–2 games for branding/consistency, or occasionally doing a stream where I try out something completely different?
Throwaway, not tryna promote my channel lololol
Hey everyone! So I’m pretty new to content creation, I’ve been recording/editing for about a month or so and I think I’m ready to start streaming! So, I figured I’d ask y’all a VERY broad question: how do I do that?
I’m going to be dual streaming on Twitch and YouTube, and I’m pretty sure I’ve got the basic technical stuff down, this pertains more to safety and social etiquette. I have AuDHD, so I’m a bit worried I’ll unwittingly say/do something that puts my privacy at risk, or commit some big streaming faux pas unintentionally.
Basically, what are tips or bits of advice you’d give to someone in my position? Don’t be afraid to give “obvious” advice lolol, a lot of “common” sense isn’t actually that common imo lolol
Just some potentially relevant pieces of info, and I’m happy to answer any necessary questions :)
Thank you so much for reading!
Hey guys.
I've had my twitch account for a few years and decided to start streaming when I play. I'm on xbox so stream through that. However, I'm stuck on 20 followers.
Any advice on how I can improve or make my stream more appealing to others? I've tried everything.
Thank you.
This may have been asked before, but I couldn't find anything with a concrete answer.
Is it possible in any way to assign hot keys to the quick actions on Twitch stream manager? For instance, if I want to clip something it can be quite annoying to tab out of the stream and use click it, I'd rather use a spare button on my keyboard.
I've been doing a challenge to stream for 70 hours this month and lately my social battery has been completely spent and the thing is I'm an EXTROVERT. I've almost never had my battery being spent but 3+ hours of streaming per day has done it. Anyone else have this feeling?
Hey guys, so I’ve been streaming for about 1½ years now. Around this time last year, I had some crazy growth, like 150 follows in two weeks. For a while, I even had more than double the amount of subs compared to my follower count.
But because of some mental health stuff, I took a break, and since then I’ve obviously hit a wall and can’t seem to fight my way back. I’m stuck at a little over 200 followers and can’t escape the 6-viewer jail.
I’ve tried repeating the things I did last year, and while that did bring back some viewers from back then, I’m still stuck at around 6–8 viewers.
I love streaming, but I just can’t seem to find my way back up, and honestly, I don’t know what to do anymore. Maybe some of you guys have some ideas.
so lately i've been noticing that my twitch channel has not been really good when it comes to growth, although i have reached affiliate already but it's still hard to grow my channel more- such as my social medias more and but i am working on clips so far. but then i started uploading my VODs on youtube and my clips too and i actually got noticeable growth on youtube more than my twitch from posting a clip and just posting my VODs, so i'm wondering if it's better for me to stream on youtube instead of twitch cuz the discoverability for small streamers on twitch is kind of rigged !
As of now i have 191 subscribers on youtube and 43 followers on twitch, and what i'm thinking so far is- I will stream the videos that i will edit later on to post on youtube because honestly being a youtuber was always my dream but then i thought of live streaming instead or at least live streaming the video that i will be posting on youtube.
And before you guys can say anything about "dont play the top 10 categories in twitch-" I actually thought of playing free horror indie games, and one game that really caught my attention and i feel like i would love- will be the 911 dispatcher on steam.
So what do you guys think about those games and what you guys think about my very main question?
I will be open for any insights (except for disrespectful ones 🥹) and if you could check my VODs and analyze what I could do for it to be better I would really really appreciate it!!
I want to know how do you guys manage a full day of work and then hit live. I want to get back to streaming but I am afraid of burning the candle at both ends any advice is welcomed.
i’ve been asked a couple times per stream if i have a discord but I don’t think i get enough regular viewers to warrant having one? (4-8 per stream on twitch but number range from 5-100 sometimes on tiktok)
i’m not fully sure how i’d use it either? i’m such a noob with these things. i’m curious what the general consensus is?
Hi, I have been streaming lately and I really enjoy it and I don't mind having viewers I know everything needs time I just wanted to ask if you didn't had any tips for me :) (I'm a pngtuber and I only play Terraria cuz it's probably the most entertaining game my PC can handle with obs and I like Terraria it's a nice game)
If so can I just cover the important parts that could be a security risk if they get hacked
