r/Twitch

I deal with a lot of comments about my voice because i have a deeper vocal range and it can be really uncomfortable. i am told im a corpse copycat and it really makes me just want to quit sometimes, im just being myself. does anyone have any feedback?

edit: want to add that it’s a lot of allegations on just me forcing it and the other side is a lot of sexual weird comments. thanks.

I’m still a pretty small streamer with low viewership, and I’m curious how other small streamers actually found people they trusted to mod their chats.

Right now I technically have two mods. One is a good friend of mine, but he isn’t able to be in every stream and doesn’t really know much about streaming/Twitch. My boyfriend is also a mod, but most of the time he just has my stream open on mute to support me as a viewer. He’ll occasionally catch and take care of one of those bots promoting AI/botted viewers, but he’s not really actively watching chat.

I also don’t have a big circle of friends IRL, so “just ask another friend you trust” isn’t really an option for me. The few people I am close with either aren’t into streaming/Twitch or aren’t people I’d want to ask to regularly sit in my streams and moderate.

I do have one viewer who is pretty consistently in my streams and active in chat, but I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable making him a mod. There have been multiple times where I’ve had to tell him that something he said wasn’t appropriate for chat, so giving him moderation privileges definitely doesn’t feel like the right move just because he’s a regular.

Obviously with my viewership being small, I don’t need a whole mod team or someone watching chat like a hawk every second lol. But I’d like to eventually have at least one person who understands my stream/community, is around somewhat consistently, and who I trust to step in if someone is being weird while I’m focused on the game.

I feel like my best option is probably eventually finding someone through my community, but I also don’t want to hand out mod to someone just because they show up a lot.

So for other small streamers, especially those who didn’t already have a bunch of friends willing to mod for them, how did you find your mods? Were they regular viewers who eventually earned your trust, other streamers, or someone else? How long did you know them before you felt comfortable giving them mod?

Cant watch streams on 5g full bars at 160p.

Subs and bits have been hiked to hell. Remember when subs were 5 dollars yeah its now 8 dollars PER SUB Remember when 5 dollars got you 500 bits yeah not anymore. Oh but desktop is still those prices.

If you use mobile you get fucked. You literally pay more money for a lesser service.

Trying to setup a secondary computer to work as a streaming system. I've got a capture card and such in place, so that speaker output from comp 1 (gaming comp), is pumped into comp 2 (stream comp).

However, I'm trying to keep headphones attached to comp 1, so that game audio, etc, is all handled by one system, and the other system only has to worry about encoding, etc.

My google-fu is absolutely horrible, and i've seen alot of things that claim 'they do what I want' but after a quick googling, it says they don't work, or crash or.

So asking here. What programs do people suggest/use, if you have any idea's.

I'm thinking about streaming some indie games, but I'm brazilian and most people here don't speak english fluently, and a lot of those games don't have translation in portuguese. The thing is, although I do speak the language, I have an accent.. People undestand me just fine when I travel, but I wonder if it's the type of thing that will turn people off.

So I'm divided between doing in portuguese and trying to translate things as I play or just doing it in english. Thoughts?

I have been streaming since June and I am absolutely loving it. I plan on streaming the new Fire Emblem game next month and I realized I will need a capture card for that. I always hear about the elgato but idk if I want to shell out the $200+ on it. Anyone have any capture card recommendations that could get reasonable quality out of a Switch 2 game?

Thanks!

Has anyone encountered the bug where you can't insert emotes after sending at least one emote?

Ver: 30.8.0

After updating app this morning, emote use no longer works properly. When you go into a chat initially, you are able to type emotes ONE time. Once you close the keyboard and then later reopen it to type more, nothing happens. Only way to "fix" is to close app, clear cache and go back in, but then you are still limited to only one use per. I tried clearing cache, data, uninstall, reinstall, restarting phone etc, nothing fixed this. This is clearly a bug on the app side that needs to be fixed immediately!

EDIT Also noticed another issue. If you try and use the back arrow at the bottom of the Samsung UI to back out at all, this is COMPLETELY broken and now does not work at all !!

Second Edit Ok after some more testing, it appears the Samsung UI only bugs out AFTER using emotes. If you load into a stream and dont type anything, you can use the back button as intended, once you use an emote, the back button is "disabled"

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S24+

One UI Version: 8.5

Android Version: 16

Twitch Version: 30.8.2

READ THE POST GUIDELINES BEFORE POSTING.

Monthly Community Feedback thread.

Feel free to post a screenshot and link to your page for review of your stream. Please also review as many others as you can so that everyone gets some much desired feedback!

**Here's how it works:**

In giving thoughtful detailed advice for other streamers, observe their channel as both a viewer and a fellow streamer. **Once you have posted your reviews to other people** , post a direct reply to this thread (so it's not embedded in other reply strings), **post your channel link, a link to a Clip, and a screenshot of your overlay** and wait for your feedback. **No low effort posts or replies; posts and replies must be at least 250 characters.**

Consider and give comments on aspects such as:

* how your peers brand themselves overall

* overlay layout/webcam placement and sizing

* layout of their info area

* how they handle chat interaction (look at their VOD if they are not live when you review them)

* video quality

* audio quality

* the games they choose

* features they have or perhaps lack that you think would be useful for them anything else you can think of

There are a few caveats. First - this is going to be an honest review of what you are currently offering as your stream. Be honest, be open, and be respectful. It might be negative and it might be positive. Understand you are asking for the truth; flattery might feel nice, but it will not help you grow.

That said, you might have a clear vision for a certain aspect that perhaps someone else does not see - just because what you do doesn't appeal to some, if you like it, then take what they say with a grain of salt. Don't forget your own instincts or lose yourself in the views of others.

Also, we will remove posts of people who are clearly only looking to receive (those who post their channel for feedback but do not offer a real review of another) so please help this community. We are a network!

Based on community feedback, the mod team have decided to hold one of these threads on the second Friday of every month.

REMEMBER: Review OTHER streamers BEFORE asking others to review yours! Users failing to do this will have their comments REMOVED. Sort by 'NEW' to find the un-reviewed comments, there is no harm in reviewing someone's stream if they have been reviewed by someone else, but PLEASE REVIEW UN-REVIEWED STREAMS FIRST. The more feedback the better! We're all here to help each other!

I just send an emote and for some reason I can't do emotes anymore in Mobile

I have made it through my first week of streaming and to be honest it's not bad I have been making connections with other small streamers.I have a question should I do follow for follow for where I'm at as of right now?Also I'll be willing to take any advice from anyone.

I'm not really a tech guy so I'm genuinely asking if it is hard. I ended stream today because I had been the only one watching myself for 2 hours or so. Just for 30 seconds after I ended it to get a notification that I was raided with a viewer count higher than I've ever had. So now I'm just sat frustrated because

1. I had no way of knowing and

2. Was made aware well after the stream ended that I basically screwed myself.

If it can raid and notify me after the stream is over, why not give me any kind of indication that a raid is in progress?

for those who dont know, terrible mouse is a Incredibly gorey CARTOON, so i just wanna see if the TOS applies to cartoon gore? as long as i put a TW will it be fine? i genuinely dont know

Why is every streamer set to "Verified accounts only" today?
Everyone i follow and everyone i look up are ALL set to "verified accounts only" Did something happen today? Why is everyone set to that?

Edit: best i can figure is "Twitch is bugged" i thought maybe something happened. Some commenters have assumed im unverified (not sure why). i'll take the bug up with twitch support, since it doesnt seem to be a global thing.

Hey I need help with twitch extensions

Overall I don't understand how any of it works in general. LIKE HOW TO SET UP! though I'm streaming from my PS5 and viewing chat on my phone. And I'm doing and loving the fuzz rn.. but I just want the extensions and my channel live to look more flashy for others or viewers to interact with me..

I stream Fortnite on TikTok LIVE, but I’m asking here because I’d like to hear the perspective of more experienced streamers who regularly interact and play with viewers.
I’m relatively new to streaming, and one of the things I do is let viewers join me to play and trade in Fortnite. I always keep voice chat off, so viewers can’t be heard on my stream.
So far, I haven’t had any problems and it’s been a fun way to interact with the community. However, I’ve noticed that many streamers don’t play with viewers at all, even when viewers ask to join.
I’ve also recently realized that some Fortnite viewers can be pretty young, which made me wonder if there are safety or moderation issues I haven’t considered yet.
For those of you who have experience with viewer games: would you recommend playing/trading with viewers? Are there risks involving younger viewers, privacy, scams, reports, stream sniping, teaming, or community management as the channel grows?
Do you think it’s fine to continue doing viewer games with clear boundaries, or is there a reason many streamers eventually stop doing them?

Hey, so I dont know if people or even twitch are aware of this, but im pretty sure that in the EU and UK, auto opt in is illegal? So... is the possibility of a class action a thing?

I have been streaming Variety gaming on Twitch for almost a year.

Now I want to add cooking to my stream.

Since I wont need the GPU power for gaming would a laptop be sufficient for a cooking stream. Would I need to add an external video capture?

I would like to do 1-3 cameras and 1-2 wireless mics. I don't have a set budget for the project but Costco is an option. (moving my desktop to the kitchen is not an option)
